I get why techbros and their ilk like gen-AI: artists and writers to them are just an obstacle to be bypassed. But I'll never get an author/artist/musician who uses it. "I want to be a writer." No you don't. You fetishize ideas but hate the work. You don't respect the craft or its practitioners.

The El Salvador government is using its concentration camp as a kind of Disneyland thrill ride for right-wing influencers. The reason those guys are standing silently shirtless behind Noem is that they’ve been asked to do it again and again, it’s part of the whole ride

The Trump administration has set up an email ([email protected]) allowing polluters to request exemptions from nine Clean Air Act rules. Under Section 112(i)(4) of the Clean Air Act, the president has the authority to grant these exemptions through a Presidential Exemption.

"My 2 sons are like my 2 hands. Now, with Win gone, it’s like half of me is missing." Read this powerful oped by mom of Win Rozario on 1 year anniversary since Win was murdered in her home, in front of her & her other son by NYPD cops Salvatore Alongi & Matthew Cianfrocco.

Well this is awful dumb. Anybody wearing a mask who is seen as threatening or accused of such is subject to be beaten by NYPD. Sooo basically all BIPOC individuals. This is the equivalent of saying wearing hoodies make you suspicious.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This is just one of the most direct ways Trump's plans will contribute to skyrocketing homelessness. And with homelessness being criminalized the homeless are going to be rounded up for incarceration doing slave labor.

Part of the bigger Project 2025 strategy was the ground game of getting folks to file complaints and push locally for extremist policies and ideology. The larger group of advisory groups contains several SPLC designated hate groups as well as policy orgs that support this kind of challenge.

if you're an editor at a publication: it isn't clever to use AI art to illustrate your piece about how AI tech is shitty. it wasn't clever the first time we saw it, and it's definitely not now. it's not even interesting! in fact, you're feeding the very thing you're criticizing! in a boring way!

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

america is a failed country. no way to fix this but to break it up into dozens of smaller places with their own government, though we would need an overarching government managing the smaller ones to facilitate security, trade, and open borders between territories.

This President is also complicit in genocide on top of everything he’s doing domestically. They can try to cut the Department of Education, but can’t manage to stop sending money to Netanyahu. Their priorities are clear.
