“The problem is that when [AI] is installed in a health sector that prizes efficiency, surveillance and profit extraction, AI becomes not a tool for care and community but simply another instrument for commodifying human life.” - @eric-reinhart.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Here's the tl;dr thesis of that piece on Mlot-Mroz. Like Candace or Jack Posobiec, Mlot-Mroz's goal was to inject the fascistic "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" interpretation of modern politics into the US mainstream by rebranding it as "Patriotic, Christian anti-communism."

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

"In Israel, there is widespread popular sympathy for the rapists." "[T]wo out of three Israelis who were polled said they would oppose the criminal prosecution of the suspects." "Israel is incapable of prosecuting its own crimes." #Israel #Gaza #Palestine #Media #Incarceration #Genocide #Military

The Vietnamese Bach Ma Mountain Peak station recorded one-day rainfall of 1,739 mm - close to the global one-day record and perhaps a new record for the northern hemisphere. It is part of a deluge Viet Nam has seen in October, shattering 35 precip records. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/en...

got to post-Zohran blog @thecut.com — multiple election outcomes on Tuesday showed that refusing to fold on trans people, migrants, Muslims, and marginalized communities while pushing kitchen table issues is a winning strategy. the pundit class’s “Decision to Win”-style arguments can be put to bed

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike. Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%. Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Nick Fuentes says people better be careful about calling him a Nazi "because if I'm a Nazi, then there's millions of young people that are following a fucking Nazi." Um, yeah, that's exactly what we've been warning about!

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

As we’ve been saying. Jews aren’t their institutions. Our institutions have been overrun by their donors and benefactors because they are meant to amass wealth to avoid taxes while carrying out the will of the oligarchy.

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

Being antifascist is still a badge of honor in some places

More on the situation at #Emory, where the firing of a med school colleague & other activities by the admins appear to violate our Open Expression Policy. We either have a policy or we do not. @emoryaaup.bsky.social @aaup.org #AAUP @academic-chatter.bsky.social www.emorywheel.com/article/2025...

It's impossible to overstate how much of what ICE is doing on the ground reflects this completely preposterous conflation of hostile *speech* and hostile *conduct.* The First Amendment protects—or, at least, is supposed to protect—the former up and until it's a "true threat," which none of this is.

Native Alaska villages were already on the front lines of climate change. Then a typhoon hit. As Typhoon Halong swept through western Alaska, it laid bare how centuries-old policies made Native villages particularly vulnerable to climate change. grist.org/indigenous/n... #AK #Alaska #Weather

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

"A ten-billion-dollar contract with Palantir Technologies—one of the largest in the Department of Defense’s history—was framed as a move toward “efficiency.” It consolidated seventy-five procurement agreements into a single contract."

Condé Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section. www.thecut.com/article/teen...

Lex did such incredible work under extraordinarily difficult working conditions, and it’s an absolute outrage that this is happening to them and the other good folks who got got today

seems bad! www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Devastating. Teen Vogue's politics coverage has been incredible and this is a major loss for journalism. Legacy journalism keeps on getting rid of the only people making it worth anything anymore.

Your favorite journalist is barely subsisting (if at all) on UI, side gigs, a struggling newsletter, SNAP, and/or a horrifying freelance rat race before either crashing out spectacularly or barely rebuilding their career while the worst ppl u know are raking in the dough at the top of CBS News

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers. The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

Cuomo during the campaign: I'm the only man tough enough to stand up to the evil Donald Trump! Cuomo on election eve: I hope New Yorkers all listen to my good friend Donald Trump and heed his advice to vote for me!

I note that the word “faculty” does not appear a single time in this write-up & giving the strong impression the GenEd curriculum was rewritten with no input from instructors.

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far? TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough.

Love you DC

ICE shooting a food bank worker in the back is a little on the nose for the current moment

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

if you see that AI-generated video going around, of some NYPD officer telling an ICE officer what he’s doing is against the law, one straightforward way to tell it’s AI is this will literally never happen

As many of you may know, a fossil fuel funded NGO is currently suing the University of Michigan to obtain my personal communications with environmental groups. I recently went on the @climateone.org podcast to talk about my work and the toll the lawsuit has taken: www.climateone.org/audio/when-c...

Chicago and Broadview, 11/1/25

"Experts estimate tens of thousands have been killed in the past week." www.nbcnews.com/world/africa...

Shot from behind? You mean he was shot in the back by an ice agent.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

From the inbox— In Rogers Park on Friday, a fed who was also seen in Evanston pointing his gun at people & throwing punches can be seen threatening others with pepper spray. Rapid response on bike spotted this car with 2 detainees inside. One is showing their handcuffs & shouting "ICE! ICE! ICE!"

About 250 people turned out Saturday to call on federal agents to leave the community, which has been on edge since ICE agents shot a woman who allegedly chased their vehicle in October. trib.al/bzetAKJ

The left gets castigated in the media for saying the folks starving Americans are deplorable. The right starves their voters and it is just normal politics.

This is the essence of the emerging fascist state. Access to resources and programs designed to make our lives better is being stolen from us so that the oppressors can use, hoard, and distribute them to friends and hold them ransom in order to force compliance.

"The murderous and racist character of the Rio [de Janeiro] police ... is part of a larger picture of police repression across [Brazil]. Last year, Brazilian police murdered 6,243 people — almost five times more than the notoriously racist U.S. police, who took at least 1,365 lives in 2024."

Fuentes had dinner with Trump. All these folks are Christian Nationalists, they all think immigrants should be terrorized, they all preach ”great replacement” conspiracy theory, they all rant about Soros. The ”distinctions“ between them are without difference.

There isn’t really a gap between Fuentes and MAGA. It’s like the Klan and the White Citizen’s Councils. They are part of the same white supremacist movement and largely disagree over tactics.

🧵Trump's masked thugs shot a 24-year-old US citizen last Thurs in Ontario, Calif. He had just left his home and saw a bunch of ICE agents surrounding a car. He stopped and simply told them, "Hey, there's a bunch of kids about to be across the street because they're going to school."

Hey, remind me what happened after the Roaring 20s?

Israel is the number one cause of antisemitism globally

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Outside Chicago— State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear. A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection. Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.
