Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

California plans on protecting minors and preventing self-destructive content by regulating AI

The legislation, signed on Monday by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, requires platforms to remind users that they are interacting with a chatbot − not a human − and to direct users to emergency services if they express suicidal thoughts.

ICE needs a legislative death sentence. We are allowed to abolish institutions when they become unaccountable beyond the point of reform, or when they become inextricably associated with corruption or abuse. In order for ICE’s leaders and agents to be held to account ICE itself must die.

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

the position of the administration it seems is that it is illegal discrimination and divisive racism for historically excluded groups to organize on that basis to improve their position. it’s basically just a genteel version of david duke’s complaint that there wasn’t a NAACP for white people

Victor Ray @victorerikray.bsky.social · 19h

I know it is beside the point because this administration simply wants resegregation but conferences for Black professional associations have always been open to everyone. Typically, the started as a response to white exclusion, and did not replicate that.

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

1/ I'm sure you've heard by now, but on Friday, about 1,300 CDC employees, including top scientists & vaccine experts, were abruptly fired.

In a stunning reversal the next day, hundreds were then reinstated. We're not sure why the administration reversed course, but the damage has still been done.
