Btw this existential/continuous precarity and disposability are what defines "proletariat", aka the class of the dispossessed. It's not reducible to wage labour, although many Marxists (incl. Marx, partly - in his "ideal/pure model" of the capitalist system) still do it

Policymakers are stuck in a 1960s view of economic hardship, where poverty (and program eligibility) comes from lack of employment. We have 70 years of evidence: bad jobs with unpredictable schedules and variable earnings are a larger source of hardship.

The Tyranny of the Low-Quality Job
For decades, a job has been seen as the key to escaping poverty. A major new study turns the question on its head: What if hardship is the result of employment, as opposed to the absence of it?

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Ralph Abraham, CDC’s new deputy director:
- halted Louisiana’s mass vaccination campaign
- promoted discredited treatments like ivermectin
- delayed deadly whooping cough outbreak warnings
- backed anti-fluoride policies
- fought to repeal ACA
He should not be making national health decisions!

ICE is abducting people all over town today. This place is a lot like Chicago suburbs but even smaller, there is no organized base of people to physically put themselves in the way of ICE. About 50 people showed up to the protest yesterday but that doesn't translate into actually stopping them.

People just now discovering that right wing AI slop is made by people in poor countries because monetized engagement is only worth it with a big exchange rate is weird to me. It's been a known phenomenon for a while. Was it really the X location feature coming back that did it? Ugh

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

My hot take is that over the next 10 years, we're going to see more emphasis on and investment in the humanities at Ivy League and other fancy schools just as state schools and small privates continue to decimate and even eliminate the humanities.
"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

Apparently, possessing anarchist zines makes someone “antifa.” Further proof that this is just a war on the left. The administration is going for more radical and marginalized activists before it turns its attention on more mainstream ones.

If European Americans ever want a Thanksgiving without hearing about genocide, without guilt trips from others, they need to seriously considertrue reconciliation with the Indigenous communities and tribes. Reconciliation requires work and funding. Then we can all give thanks for reconciliation.

ICE is literally taking people and the white people ice alert chat is organizing a protest. It's like that's great, but I really don't know if it is the best use of the time and energy compared to getting people food so they don't have to go out, or physically tracking ICE around in your car.
