I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

President Trump's pick for a senior role at the State Department said Tuesday that he is withdrawing from consideration after having faced bipartisan backlash over his comments about race and religion.
“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
So many food charities marking their 40th anniversaries. Just a mystery why. All rot leads to Reagan.
After Isabel was released from a Minnesota detention center, ICE didn't return her work permit, ID, checks worth $700, or her daughter’s US passport.
She's one of many now missing key immigration and identity documents.
You’re not imagining it, electricity rates in #washingtondc have jumped dramatically this year.
@51st.news digs into the issue and identifies the usual suspects: pre-approved rate increases and, ofc, the proliferation of data centers.
A nationwide book ban bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives. Here's what you need to know about HR7661, including who is behind it, the history behind such bills, and what you need to do to stop it.

US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...
"The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam highlights the neglect and abuse immigrants with disabilities face every day, as well as DHS's cruel practice of releasing people alone in the streets with no way to contact their families or get safely home."
The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...
Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.
The President, two of his current Cabinet secretaries, his former strategist, his biggest donor, and his pending Fed Chair nominee are all in the files of a pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring, while the attorney general and a former Cabinet secretary let him get away with it.
Seems kinda bad?
A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.
Huge win for the professors and unions. When we fight we win.

Joan W. Scott calling upon democrats everywhere👇🏽
“The suppression of gender studies is not only an attempt to suppress a critical analytical tool, but also knowledge itself.
“Defence of gender studies is… a vital stand (for)…democracy, one based on aspirations for equality and justice for all”.
It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.
Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”
It is absolutely insane that in her MurderBoarding they couldn't find a message pivot that relates to the law or her job as AG. I would have thought they would have more than one set of talking points across the Cabinet and Fox News.
They’re heavily Opus Dei, and currently have a massive measles outbreak. I’m so sorry. www.fox4now.com/collier-coun...
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

TWIN CITIES
Armed Citizens Against Tyranny is a HONEYPOT action.
No one in the Twin Cities, including the MN Gun Owners association, knows anyone supposedly in this group.
Local orgs are STRONGLY urging folks to STAY AWAY from their planned "protest."

Austrian white nationalist Martin Sellner appeared with Brandenburg AfD state MP Lena Kotré at a closed-door event in Germany promoting “remigration.” The conference highlights how ideas once confined to neo-Nazi circles are being normalized by elected officials and reframed as migration policy.
