"Nearly 700,000 adults are survivors of conversion therapy." "Five years ago, the United Nations concluded that conversion therapy could amount to torture." "On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will consider a case that could greenlight it for LGBTQ+ youth across the nation." #USA #Healthcare

this will, of course, cause disproportionate harm to poor people, people of color, and people with disabilities because the vast majority of the tech field - industry and academia - is run by the most vile classist, racist, and ableist pieces of garbage

it is useful not to lose sight of how, underneath everything else, hollow all of this noise is. portland and chicago are warzones, so i am dispatching a couple hundred best buy assistant managers there to quell the insurrections. potemkin stuff, paper thin

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg raised her fist as she and about 160 other Global Sumud Flotilla participants arrived in Greece to roaring cheers. Crowds welcomed them after their release from illegal Israeli detention. Greta later addressed supporters — her remarks are below.

With Link unfairly banned, I don’t want to see the work he was doing get lost. It’s Mutual Aid Monday, so post your mutual aid needs here, and let’s try to help some people today. We’re in this together.

Mohamed is in need: he is trying to keep his family alive and think of their future despite loss after devastating loss. If you can help him, please do.

Seriously though what is stopping us from R E T V R Ning to message boards?

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

In so many cases, the solution to a frustrating interaction online is to take a deep breath and remind yourself that the person being deranged to you is not someone whose opinion you would care about if they screamed it in your face on the street, and you're deforming your nature by listening at all

the people who run this website think link is a bigger threat to the safety of the community than jesse singal and are willing to break their own rules to maintain the state of affairs they have created from that worldview

our economy is wall st ghouls and computer nerds collaborating to commit crimes

TBH, I think the reason chuds talk about AI having human rights is so that data centres can take an immense amount of resources from actual humans with impunity.

im glenn greenwald. im kyle rittenhouse. im an ai generated talking pepe meme. im bari weiss, all those stories tonight on 60 minutes

its neat that the largest economy in the world is now run like The Always Sunny Paddy Dollars

Thinking how Stephen Bannon got fired in 2017 because Trump got mad that people were saying he's the real president. Probably wouldn't work with Miller because they only feed Trump AI slop now. They got him in the Professor X rig watching videos of himself leading troops in battle

lol, important rich white adult people shattered like tempered glass when confronted with the unfiltered stream of contempt the public has for them via mass social media and now we have to joker laugh on the interrogation room floor while they kick our liver to death

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked SC from giving DOJ voter data. Last week Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ condemned Goodstein's ruling. Yesterday Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists requiring force." Today Judge Goodstein's home is on fire, investigated for arson.

NYT finally found their active voice to describe the kidnapping/disappearing of people the government doesn't like.

Bad news feels inescapable. There’s a lot of it, it goes viral, and things are getting worse. But resistance is also everywhere, and it doesn’t get the same attention. We need to share mass resistance, to inspire hope and so that more and more people join in. www.jphilll.com/p/resistance...

Hello, I’m from Gaza. We’re living through hell homes destroyed,memories erased,loved ones gone. Even the innocence of our children has been shattered. Every bit of help—even a small donation—could save a life or rekindle a flicker of hope. 👉 gofund.me/0fa0750c Thank you for remembering Gaza 😢🙏

God damn a lot of y'all are being so much more annoying on a Saturday night than you have any right to be, go to a club or something

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

i hope not

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

Few things funnier than pretending that it’s somehow racist/classist/transphobic to be against AI as every tech company rushes to turn their models into mechahitler while dumping toxic waste into communities of color

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

The thing of it is, people who keep saying shit like "we're on the brink of a Civil War!" are blind to the fact that we're already in it. We were never going to get enumerated articles of secession or firing on Fort Sumter from these pigs, it was always going to be stochastic terrorism all the way

We need to understand that, too. There is no "reform." Either poorly trained people with no impulse control can murder people on the streets while we watch, or we have a democracy. The two are antithetical.

This video was taken by a local resident who reportedly saw a man being beaten by ICE agents at 37th and Kedzie.

the singular failure of the Biden era was not jailing Trump and his high-level coup plotters for that crime while Biden controlled the federal government; this failure is manifest now in Trump having blanket permission to rule as a king from SCOTUS and the default loyalty of federal police. Hell!

call me an asshole if you want, but there's people working very hard to de-humanize a whole swath of real human beings in the US and around the world, I do not have time for your insulting defense of chatgpt as a person

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

On the ground at Broadview. One arrest and state police with batons are pushing people out of the street.

Now happening in Broadview, a western suburb of Chicago. Follow @unraveledpress.com for updates out there.

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis. If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.
