i got early screeners to the first two episodes of MURDERBOT, the Apple TV+ adaptation of @marthawells.com's books! and as someone who loves the books, this show is SO GOOD! 🤖✨🫶🏽

I struggle with the reporting on ChatGPT in education because it often confirms society’s negative bias against young people—oh no, this generation is unsaveable!—when it’s possible to just educate people to be less credulous about it. which is why I wrote this: so teachers could print and assign it

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

BREAKING: Rümeysa, our union sister who was snatched by ICE, is free today. We stood up for our union family and demanded justice! When you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. #4the1st ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

I know a lot of people who could fall for this, and it might have been me if I hadn’t seen this thread.

I couldn't do Bellara week sadly b/c WORK SOB, but I wanted to get SOME Bellara content out there, so here's a lil date under the stars with her and my Rook post-game ^_^ (drawn in the supernote nomad, getting more used to drawing in it ^_^) #Dragonage #fanart #art #BellaraLutare

Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, Dr. Noor Abdalla, gave birth to their first child today, a baby boy. In a statement, she said, “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud. ICE and the Trump administration have stolen these precious moments from our family…”

Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats

A world without Trans people has never existed, and it never will. More than visibility, we need safety 🏳️‍⚧️

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show. Link for US viewers: tv.apple.com/us/show/murd... (You can also search for it on the app.)

Occasionally I get questions about “how exactly was the insurance company Nate worked for responsible for his son’s death on the original LEVERAGE?” and it’s nice to have a current news item to point them to. The shittiness continues unabated!

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

By this definition most immigration camps are concentration camps So is Rikers Island And the Black Box in Chicago Most reservations Japanese internment camps

In court filings Thursday, 30-year-old Rümeysa Öztürk for the first time described the circumstances under which she was taken by federal immigration officials — and how she’s been treated during her imprisonment. (via @wgbh.org)

This is so deeply evil. Trump and his admin illegally moved him to Louisiana so they can shop for a judge and get this verdict. The precedent set here is one where *anyone* can be disappeared. Remember, the admin said multiple times they do not believe Khalil committed any crimes

in some ways this hilariously snippy order giving them two additional hours is more of a fuck you than keeping the original deadline this judge rules

I'd bet most Americans don't realize the six Nazi extermination camps during World War II also involved rendition to a foreign country. Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek were all located in Poland. Not Germany. Important historical fact.

"The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil" "Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs." Free this man immediately. apnews.com/article/mahm...

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

The courts *should* put an immediate and unequivocal halt to all use of the CECOT prison in El Salvador, with or without due process. They may not do that. But the *people* of the US still can. Don't lose of sight of this atrocity amidst the other outrages. Make this a key focus of resistance.

I saw the video of the journalist being burned alive by accident and I'm reminded again that because so much of our government and "thought leaders" are deeply offline they can't really grasp the horrors people are seeing and wanting stopped

The more people talk about the lack of criminal records of people sent to el salvador the further I drift from thinking it matters. I began at "justice for the hairdresser". Now my position is "rescue every dude in there whether we sent them there, or not". Nobody should be treated like that, ever.

My anxiety and caffeine intake are not doing me any favors in this timeline 🙃

The cries of the people of Gaza will haunt the earth until the end of time.

they are segregationists, it has been obvious from the jump, and i think that pundits who dismissed the charge as hyperbolic should explain why they couldn’t see the fact pattern

Feeling like a big dumbass working on my taxes right now. Who am I sending this money to

Please read this statement from Rümeysa Öztür and ask if you'd rather be on her side or that of the people imprisoning her.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

I've finished my extremely basic normie tariff discussion. Here's what it looks like.

Strom Thurmond and Elon both taking an L on the same day is a hell of a white supremacy bankshot

To be clear, there should be no death penalty anywhere ever, and yet this dichotomy is both unsurprising and bleak as fuck.

This is beautiful

I’m going to join this. Not because I think Booker is progressive enough for me or is perfect on all accounts, but because his courage and willingness to disrupt business as usual (as so many of us have asked) deserves credit and recognition. Appreciate this and encourage similar behavior!

I am not moved by politicians often, but I am moved by Booker today. I hope more dems callously see how much attention he's commanding today take his lead. I don't care if the reason they do it is craven-- I just want them to fucken fight. also fuck strom thurmand may he rest in piss

That's right, Cory Booker is thanking his staff who obviously have been prepping for several days and planning/preparing for this moment. They did a great job. No Dr. Seuss books needed, this man went out and PREACHED for a full freaking day and he had the receipts. All thanks to his staff.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
