Fuck off. Block.
You don't use the plagiarism engine of fascism for anything and frankly, any writer who uses it isn't a writer and just a disappointment.
reading about abusive bosses is always a great reminder that even those who live in democracies experience tyranny each day in the capitalist firm
Six people legally living in the US and legally traveling for work were disappeared by the US government and the only reason we knew about it was because one woman was family friends with a county commissioner and her cell phone pinged to two detention centers.
NEW: The bad news about international-student enrollments at American colleges just got worse. An exclusive @chronicle.com analysis of just-released State Department data shows new visa issuances in the summer of 2025 dropped by more than a third. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...
Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.
The pentagon refusing to give a simple yes or no to this question is pretty telling of itself
authors and books are like an MLM . . . i need you to buy my books so i can buy some other author's books so they can buy another author's books and so on
but it's like, an honorable ponzi scheme
"I think the counter to Trump always has been and always will be civil society. A lot of the left wants social change to look like the French Revolution or Che Guevara. Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war."- @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.
the suburbs were founded on a politics of silence and look how that turned out for everyone. silence was used explicitly as a justification for redlining because some (racialized) populations were 'inherently loud.' the expected quietude of women and children is its own separate can of worms!!
feels telling about American foreign policy punditry that while many decry the aimlessness of Trump’s monstrously wrong Iran war there were far more outraged columns over the harm done to US power and influence and standing and interests and example when Biden rightly withdrew from Afghanistan.
People are just assets to use and discard
things will never truly change until we as a society reckon with the fundamental links between policing, prisons, and immigration—including our complicity in allowing it to happen in our names.
the mass abduction and detainment of immigrants that we’re seeing now is intrinsically linked to mass incarceration. politicians and the media have spent decades normalizing the mass detention of a lower class of people in squalid conditions.
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

Graphic to call for a press conference at Broadview tomorrow, a photo of the detention facility is showcased with copy that reads: "PRESS CONFERENCE: SUNNY SHARES HER STORY ICE DETAINED 3 US CITIZENS AND 3 GREEN CARD HOLDERS FOR OVER 48 HOURS. WE DEMAND ANSWERS. MARCH 8, AT 2:00PM 1930 BEACH ST, BROADVIEW, ILLINOIS"
UPDATE:
Sunny and the others detained are now safe at home. But we’re demanding answers about their illegal detention and transfer across state lines.
Join Sunny Naqvi and community leaders tomorrow as she shares her story.
- Broadview Facility, 1930 Beach St

I can explain it right now tbh, they don't consider the rest of us human much less American. It's not national suicide, it is a family annihilation perpetuated by people who lied and grifted and stole they way into power and are using it to consolidate resources ahead of the climate catastrophe
It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."
But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.
They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.
imo this sounds even more dire in the context of federal prosecutors pursuing terrorism-related charges for zine possession in the Prairieland case and bipartisan efforts to repeal section 230 of the CDA at the same time
Oof. Multiple THAAD radar systems have reportedly been destroyed by Iran. That’s bad.
I’ve also seen some surprise that Russia is providing Iran with targeting data for US forces, but that was expected. We’ve been providing Ukraine with targeting data for 4 years.

SUPPORT THE PRAIRIELAND DEFENDANTS DFW Support Committee @dfwsupportcommittee@mas.to Towards the end of the day, the cops came to harass the rally outside the courthouse. They pressured people to remove anything from the ground on the public sidewalk, including chairs for disabled court supporters. We will not be deterred. We will be outside the courthouse every day to show our continued support for the defendants and our commitment to the movement against ICE. 1
Police harassed protesters this afternoon at the Prairieland trial regarding ICE in Texas.
Target has allowed ICE to abduct its workers and use its property for staging. Now Minnesota organizers are building a pressure campaign against the company. "There is no neutral here," says labor organizer Veronica Mendez Moore. Vital reporting by Isabela Escalona.

Just detailing your war plans live for all the world to see.
From the party that claimed to be concerned about Hillary Clinton having a private email server.
I am not trying to do the whole "everything's a distraction" thing, but the DOJ holding onto specific allegations about Trump assaulting a minor and releasing them after a war against Iran has taken center stage is, uh... noteworthy timing.
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
For half a year now, the US has been murdering civilians in the Caribbean with total impunity & the most shocking indifference not just for international law but basic decency. We should not be surprised if they behave even worse once formally at war.
Much more interesting statement though I don’t know how damaging it will be bsky.app/profile/skee...
People keep insisting that doesn't make him mercenary and I have given up on pointing out the statements about how much he enjoyed his combat time in Iraq & Afghanistan
