if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Just remembering that Dick Cheney secretly intervened in a dispute over the Klamath River in 2001--and caused the biggest fish die-off in US history, with ~77,000 fully grown adult salmon piled on the banks of the river.

This is an all hands on deck moment to save health care. If you got a notice this month that your health insurance premium is going up by $500 or maybe even $1,000, send me your story: www.warren.senate.gov/health-care-...

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

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.

historian??? anthropologist??? mexicanist??? this book has something for everyone!!! it's got land tenure!!! oil!!! vanilla!!! wage labor!!! guards!!! experts!!! and archaeology!!! from archives!!! and interviews!!! and participant-observation!!!

To think you can cover "career development" without politics is nuts. I wrote this for Teen Vogue in 2019. The purpose was to introduce young people to the possibility of a *career* in disaster management... But everything I wrote here hinges on politics!!!!!!! www.teenvogue.com/story/how-he...

This is why teachers and professors have been ringing the alarm about this, we see this shit all the time and it is a huge waste of everyone's time in addition to all the other AI-related problems. But productivity, job readiness, whatever, etc.

I thought it might be helpful to know which publications the AI articles I list are from, so spent part of the weekend adding that info. A slew of new links to the bibliography too: catherinedenial.org/blog/uncateg...

What if, and stay with me, the barbaric and imperious way the United States responded to 9/11 is an enormous part of how we got here

- 1st month of strikes: 3 attacks, 17 deaths - 2nd month of strikes: 12 attacks, 48 deaths It is now 60 days since the first illegal boat strike in the waters of Latin America. That is an important date for the War Powers Resolution (see www.justsecurity.org/123717/war-p...).

I like the 30 for 30 on this www.espn.com/watch/film/2...

Woohoo! Especially glad for my dad, who has carefully cultivated Dodger fandom for my two east coast boys💙

I love for everyone that this is now the baseball app

So lucky that she is my rep in Congress🤡

all he’s missing here is a plaque saying “live love let them eat cake”

"People are getting free food and they might not deserve it!" who gives a shit man literally one of the unambiguously good things about the 21st century is we have lots of excess food production and we have the capacity to have hunger be significantly less important in decision making.

Trump cares more about how much marble there is in his bathroom than about people who will go hungry because of SNAP cuts. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

There's so much being researched and published about GenAI that I update the 'Against Generative AI' resource list almost every day. Check it out catherinedenial.org/blog/uncateg...

Update: Hurricane Melissa has made landfall in southwestern Jamaica — and has tied the all-time record for strongest Atlantic basin hurricane landfall. Hurricane Melissa will be a generational-scale climate disaster and will require an international response to help Jamaicans recover.

Read the Declaration of Independence. After the opening paragraphs it is a huge laundry list of grievances against the British monarchy. Too many immigrants isn’t one of them. In fact it’s the complete opposite. They complained that the King was hindering migration.

Monstrous

A small but growing group of women have bought chinampas — island farms outside of Mexico City — to cultivate sustainably in an effort to preserve an ecosystem that is increasingly threatened by urban development, mass tourism and water pollution. apnews.com/article/mexi...

Only one other player had ever been intentionally walked with the bases empty in a World Series game before last night when the Jays did it to Ohtani THREE times.

We’ve progressed from watching the baseball game to being held hostage by the baseball game.

Venice Bakery is remembering those that have died in ICE custody this year by adding them to their community altar for Dia de Los Muertos. By @eltragon.bsky.social

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

I was truly not prepared for this timeline👇👇👇

A very incomplete list of things we wouldn't have done if we waited for the normies to care: - abolish slavery - child labor laws - votes for women - social security - fdic - welfare - medicare - medicaid - desegregation - women's sports

Ha! Doesn't surprise me at all. I remember when my sister, trained as a civil engineer from the west coast, was visiting me in SC and commented that there was no way the people working on a major drainage project had any idea what they were doing. The project had to be redone a few years later.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

This is going to be such a great resource!

Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful to be on sabbatical. But this is why I really love teaching Latin American history because students want context and real information when all this craziness is happening.

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.” 🎁link

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

With alt text. Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

A fun (“fun”) new thing we need to address is the time wasted correcting the errors of people who arrive at a conversation having only read the AI summary of a document.

this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place

NO KINGS PROTESDT/RALLY in North Charleston, SC now.
