I spent the morning at a rally for striking CMRJB Workers United union tannery workers at Twin City Tanning in South St Paul. They are fighting for better wages and working conditions. Many of these workers have been there over 20 years and are still barely making 20 dollars an hour.

I'll go to my grave saying D'Angelo is the most underrated artist of his generation and for all the love Black Messiah got, it's even better than advertised.

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

Advertisers know that what your friends think is far more important to your purchasing decisions than ads are. No wonder they're trying to substitute bots for your friends

Jathan Sadowski @jathansadowski.com · 13d

What an unsurprising decision by corporations that desperately need to make money with AI. If every other company with a chatbot isn't already doing this, then expect them to be following Meta's lead soon. The chatbot is not your friend; it's a corporate listening device. www.ft.com/content/22f7...

Meta will use conversations people have with its chatbots to personalise advertising and content across its platforms, in a sign of how tech companies plan to make money from artificial intelligence.

The owner of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp on Wednesday said it would use the content of chats with its Meta AI to create advertising recommendations across its suite of apps.

“People will already expect that their Meta AI interactions are being used for these personalisation purposes,” said Christy Harris, privacy and data policy manager at Meta.

Leftists rehashing debates from the 1800s over authority and authoritarianism as terms in the midst of fascism is such an indictment of what leftism means in this era. To say people are stuck is an understatement.

Don’t forget to get vaxxed in all the ways you can if you’re remotely able.

Herd immunity is community care!

Some states will ask if you’re part of the “recommended demographic”; if you’re not in a state that requires a doctors note, you can just say yes & walk in. If you are—> see your doctor.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Sylvia and Marsha will never be forgotten, especially by folks in the community of a certain age. Thanks, Zohran, for acknowledging these freedom-fighting women.

Most up-to-date list of “How to Report ICE” zines! If you don’t see your area here, and you have a rapid response deportation defense hotline, put it in the Zine Request form!

There is a Spanish language San Francisco zine, and there are more to come this week.
