As it happens, my career in IT consulting as systems architect, 'at scale' as we say, internationally, has provided detailed knowledge of many corporate sectors because computation is at the heart of capital. This is another way of saying I have seen Marx & Engels' analyses confirmed time and again.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Giving a lecture on journalistic objectivity later today.

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

trumps administration is whining and begging everyone to stop comparing ICE to the gestapo meanwhile they act just like the gestapo and use social media to post aesthetic videos making fun of and demonizing immigrants

Hugo Chavaz was a defender of the free world and even offered humanitarian aid despite his country being under sanctions.

The swing-seat race against Rep. David Valadao is off to an odd start. Establishment Dem Jasmeet Bains received $280k in the state Assembly from corporations that have also given to Valadao. When populist Randy Villegas pointed that out in an ad, Bains appeared to liken that to "political violence"

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

People's Dispatch: "Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, is locked in a conflict with the unionized workers and drivers of his Nigeria-based oil refinery.

Not "Fuck ICE" or "Death to ICE", you know something that makes sense, but "Anti ICE" lol. The FBI is really bad at this, but maybe it doesn't even matter anymore.

the FBI doesn’t even try anymore

This is supposedly a stripper clip with the rounds found at the scene of the shooting in Dallas today. It’s like someone is intentionally trying to see what level of dumb shit the American people will accept as truth.

Arizona voters today are filling a vacancy in the U.S. House, and both candidates have publicly expressed their intent to provide the deciding signature on the discharge petition to circumvent Johnson and force a House vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. newrepublic.com/post/200787/...

We only rate dogs. This is very clearly a red panda. We've had just about enough of your tomfoolery. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (IG: __joyjoa)

This is Jade. She just met the biggest dogs she's ever seen. But quickly learned they have the biggest hearts too. 13/10 for all (TT: catimtins.pscal)

Might as well alienate the few remaining liberals who might pay attention to me by saying that I won't vote for any presidential candidate who doesn't make dismantling ICE part of their platform

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

cnn's jake tapper on jimmy kimmel suspension: “It was pretty much the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I've seen in my lifetime.” Wow! It wasn't that long ago that the biden administration was arresting, brutalising, locking up, and deporting anti genocide activists.

Although her community organised beach clean-ups, plastic pollution was a growing problem that would only worsen unless action was taken nationally. "I’m hoping that Scotland will become the first country in the UK to ban single-use plastics." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Look I'm not the man to do this but if somebody isn't making a supercut of Rapturetok influencers realizing they have to remain on this dogshit planet right now then I don't even know why I have a computer anymore.

"America is better than China." — an American who's sitting right next to a sewer rat in the New York metro, on their way to their dead end job, where they work 80 hours per week for slave wages, and are one medical debt away from complete homelessness, which will land them in an American gulag.

Farm workers are "supposed to" get 5 paid sick days a year. Non-union workers have been telling us that's not happening. Donate to help workers win union contracts where their legal rights are respected. act.seiu.org/a/sickpay?ms... #WeFeedYou

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

The New York Times does a 24 paragraph story on Larry Ellison buying up new and old media properties and doesn't so much as HINT, anywhere, at the obvious goal of leveraging this properties to conduct right wing information warfare, or that this kind of consolidation is bad for the public

So yesterday Trump designated Antifa terrorists alongside a White House fact sheet on the "radical left" threat. Democratic Leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer haven't said a word about it.

one of the best ways we as individuals can help combat climate change and other related environmental issues is to stop eating meat and sea food. alas, no one wants to hear this and too many folks are not willing to act on that.

Talking points leaked to me show US diplomats instructed to call accusations of Israeli genocide in Gaza "politically motivated and categorically false" as well as a "propaganda campaign"

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

The Spanish PM said this at Columbia University yesterday: “Defending your country is one thing. But killing 60,000 civilians, bombing hospitals, and starving children to death is something else entirely.” “We are witnessing one of the darkest tragedies of the 21st century unfold before our eyes.”

He didn't wanna be on the ground anymore🥺

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.
