Always think of this from @prisonculture.bsky.social

“Words cannot adequately describe the horror of the massacre of over 130 poor, young Black people killed by the Rio de Janeiro police under the pretext of combating drug trafficking…The world we knew is collapsing. Let us mourn those young people murdered in Rio, those bodies lying on the asphalt.”

Once again they have deleted Lubna's account. She is less than $500 away from her goal. Can you please help her? I really dont know what else to do, can you commit to supporting someone regularly? Lubna is exhausted and donations have evaporated, she needs love and support

We're extremely dishonest about the realities of aging in this country. The older I get, the more this becomes apparent to me.

Whatever conversations the blue maga genocidal democrat bigwigs sent aoc and bernie to have with him behind closed doors, y'all are about to start seeing the results, lol. There's no way blue maga genocidal democrats and liberals would let a real Socialist win an election under their banner. No way!

“Ministry of Health: Gaza records the highest rate of limb amputations among children relative to population worldwide.”

One of my pet peeves is when politicians call themselves socialists, but they're actually social democrats (i.e., totally fine with capitalism as long as there's a large welfare state attached).

It's been 5 months since the federal siege of LA began. In recent weeks, raids have not been as widely reported as they were over the summer. Community defense teams witnessed a dramatic uptick in kidnappings in Ktown, Pico-Union, MacArthur Park, Mid City, & Downtown LA @lataco.bsky.social

I'm not for policing words but I do think that if you don't do the writing, you're an AI promter not a writer as: 1) the writing isn't yours & more importantly 2) you're a scab

“The elites are ecstatic about imagining a vast, uneducated, and unproductive population forced to pay companies like OpenAI to access the written word and to approximate thought.” Must read piece by Noah McCormack with too many quotaboe lines to select one! thebaffler.com/salvos/we-us...

So, we broke into your house and stole all your stuff, please give us money.

"There is no longer time for a slowdown—planetary life, under climate crises, is facing an end. Anti-capitalist opposition must not only accelerate its capacities to end capitalism—it must be oriented now to a hard stop. Not deceleration—an emergency break." classautonomy.info/capitalist-a...

🗣️ Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is a fascist—and voters just gave him everything he wanted. “City officials will also begin an enforcement crackdown on ‘quality of life’ crimes often committed by drug users and people suffering from mental illnesses, including the possibility of mandating treatment.”

Hi, I’m Ruaa, a translator and language student from Gaza Since the genocide began I’ve been trapped here unable to continue my master’s studies I’m simply asking for a chance to return and complete my education to use language to heal and inspire Please consider donating to help me reach this goal.

We're closing in on having a trillionaire and the government remains shut down and food assistance is being withheld largely because it might result in public details about our current president's connection to a sex trafficker. Did I miss any of the high points?

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

On the one hand I'm laughing at the utter incompetency, but I'm mostly just furious at how they are just lighting my tax dollars on fire to do Keystone Cops Fascism.

Important article about politicians and how you, yes YOU the people have to hold them accountable at every single turn!

People in the replies noting that he already mentioned his intention to retain her in October so let me be clear that it was stupid then and it is stupid now. You can call it good politics all you want, but I don't think Tisch has the best interest for NYers at heart

Almost like it was never about the kids.

I’m running on empty.Doing everything I can,but life keeps asking for more than I have to give. There’s nowhere left to turn—just this space,and you. Today I need to raise $50 to make it through.Maybe four kind souls can share the weight. Please…don’t scroll past Please re-share gofund.me/9cec3f8ed

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Formerly Incarcerated Women Are Building a Global Network to Fight Imprisonment

As a father, the weight is heavy — trying to provide for my family from nothing, rebuilding life piece by piece after losing everything.😓 Every support means warmth, food, and safety to our little ones.💔

I actually do understand the legal reasoning behind Justice Jackson's stay order. My point is that when people have no food, unless they can eat your legal reasoning, it's irrelevant. Feed. Them.

We lawyers intellectualizing the lives of real people is a huge reason we're here and I'm sick of it. There's no good reason to take people's food away, actually.

"For procedural reasons Justice Jackson had to issue the stay, I'm sure her legal reasoning was sound...." PEOPLE. ARE. STARVING. Can they eat the rules of procedure? No? THEN FEED THEM. The purpose of a system is what it does. And if the rules of procedure allow people to starve, they're wrong.

my latest is out today. higher ed right now is a difficult place to be, and Palestine is at the heart of it. some faculty, however, are working hard to create networks of support and solidarity despite the difficult terrain. truthout.org/articles/rep...

"The struggle to protect international, immigrant, and undocumented students is deeply entwined with the longer-term struggle for a free Palestine and to build a more liberatory version of higher education itself." [email protected] truthout.org/articles/rep...

Going thru my phone, I found this reminder of the importance of sending books to people in prison. This was from a man who had been in solitary confinement for several years & received PRISON BY ANY OTHER NAME, my book with @mayaschenwar.bsky.social

Do the thing that you can do. Whatever it is, wherever you are. The thing you actually do, however small, is of infinite more value than the most grand perfect thing you imagine but do not do.

Bumping this again because help makes all the difference.

The main things LLMs are "good" for (spam, plagiarism, propaganda, catfishing, disinformation, impersonation, epistemic rupture) are bullshit things that should not be done at all, much less automated to be done at scale.

In short, AI is fundamentally anti-human and should not exist.

Once again, the "problem" that AI is being used to solve is at root a problem of underfunding and overwork. Hire actual humans to do things that are worth doing, give them time and resources to do things that need to be done, and the use case for AI dissolves into vapor virtually every time.

Not just a cop trained in investigation, but the cop in charge of the investigation against DULF.

almost three thousand people in our neighborhood. murdered by policy

I'd prefer that people don't overdose because they consume drugs of known composition and potency not this (great article, please read) martlet.ca/potent-synth...

other the law is clearly stating that people who use prohibited drugs aren't people

📣 DULF found guilty for life-saving compassion club 📣 But WAIT! Not so fast… drugdatadecoded.ca/court-finds-...

Here it is, through the eyes of @brishti.bsky.social 🔥⬇️

congrats to everyone for thinking this through before signing very big contracts to put it on every student’s device at the school or university you run

in short, good luck to all of y’all applying to this cohort, and i hope you’re not shoveling your career into the dumpster fire of AI evangelism. Personally, I cannot WAIT for the collapse of this goddamn bubble. I’m gonna be roasting marshmallows over the smoldering corpse of the AI industry.

So this is all a bunch of bullshit, especially the “Foundational AI” cohort. “Foundational AI” and “Foundation Models” are garbage concepts developed to distance LLMs and GenAI from longstanding criticisms by STS scholars who make clear the harms of such technologies.

From @michellegamage.bsky.social: Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum have been found guilty of drug trafficking, after they operated a compassion club in the midst of a deadly overdose crisis. The conviction is suspended as their lawyers start a constitutional challenge. thetyee.ca/News/2025/11...
