This is catastrophic.

There’s always enough money for wars, for ICE, for billionaires. Just not for you.

If you hate ICE you should hate cops. What we are seeing currently is an expansion of the prison industrial complex, modern slavery, that has been ongoing under cops the entire time. That is how the frameworks for these abuses are so easy to expand quickly. It's the same monster.

thoughts on today: 1) the protests are good, actually 2) you should go to one of you can 3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy 4) you might meet people who you can organize with 5) there are more of us than there are of them 6) we are going to win

The most amazing story isn’t just that Democrats flipped a Trump +12 seat from red to blue — it’s that Trump literally voted by mail in this election while arguing mail in voting should be illegal for everyone else.

You can make LLMs say almost anything. A news organization reporting "what grok said" is engaging in journalistic malpractice. It doesn't know. It just creates plausible sounding words in response to a prompt.

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Just a guy watching tv and posting, with no sense that he’s personally responsible for massively disrupting most of the institutions involved and the lives of their personnel

Attention Los Angeles

Reminder that LA Mayor + City Council took money from LA Fire Dept to give to LAPD’s already $3 billion budget… #abolition 🛑⛓️

This has become an area of academic research, that people often mistake the profound discomfort of visible poverty with risk of violent danger

So Republicans only think elections are run well if it leads to results they like. Why am I not surprised.

The most cathartic watch ever.

Sitting here wondering why @npr.org is using a Trump administrator as an expert on what is or isn’t legal….Why are we propping them up as being any kind of expert on legality? Here's what another Trump presidency could mean for student loans www.npr.org/2024/11/14/n...

"That tendency to want to protect your child is a natural one, but it’s also one that is manufactured by the fact that we live in a capitalist society that pushes us to [think] that it’s everybody against everybody else ... [T]hat’s part of the rhetoric of fear." (@prismreports.bsky.social)

Let’s see how @nytimes.com then somehow translates this into some elaborate bona fide plan.

Slavery was Legal. Colonialism was Legal. Jim Crow was Legal. Apartheid was Legal. Legality depends on who has power and the kinds of laws they pass to preserve their own privileges and bigoted views. Legality often has nothing to do with justice.

🙄 🙄 Wouldn’t it just be easier to cancel it altogether? #cancelstudentdebt

This took way too long in the making, but I’m glad it finally happened! Join @justicela.bsky.social to fight for abolition in LA County!

The Vera Institute released a tool to track LA Co's unfulfilled promise to decrease the jail population. Highlights: over 40% of inmates have mental health needs and over 50% are pretrial and thus are constitutionally still innocent. 40 people in jail have died so far. Join @justicela.bsky.social!

Wish you could too! Hope you’re at least feeling better! It’s going to start streaming on the 14th, so you can still catch it.❤️

It took a year but I transformed this bare hill used as a dog litter box to this drought-resistant flower garden. Feeling pretty happy about it. #gardeningfeed 🌱 #droughtresistant
