Volunteer groups have raised thousands of dollars so that families in Minneapolis who are out of work due to fear of being harassed or abducted by ICE can make rent.
Put differently, a large number of landlords are so horrendously shitty they will extract wealth at any cost—moral or otherwise.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

Just a reminder that the fascists are dismantling government at a frantic pace destroying key capacities that will not come back for decades if ever again all while the opposition and media are focused on the shiny object of the hour and grifters are selling theater as resistance to fascism.
#BREAKING: Over a dissenting opinion by Justice Kagan (joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson), #SCOTUS clears the way for President Trump to remove members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, granting yet another emergency application:

Ten years of Trump going on TV and just fucking saying whatever, and still nothing like an industry set of best practices to deal with it. Put someone on the set with a laptop to look stuff up, pause the interview, whatever. He'd walk off but so what. Amazing to still be at "agree to disagree."

The fact that we colloquially refer to the ongoing illegal gutting of the federal civil service as "firings" and "reductions in force" is an example of successful propaganda

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us.

It’s really strange how Trump figured out that Executive Orders are basically “longer tweets that drive giant media attention” and the media hasn’t figured it’s being played each time they report on these as if it’s Moses coming down the Mount with stone tablets.
DC is uniquely vulnerable and we really need all of you with State representation to join us in pushing back against what promises to be a ton of cruel and unnecessary actions: www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.
Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.
It’s been the plan for decades.

I think it says something about American white supremacy that the calculation here is that the electorate would not be riled up over the racist kidnappings and deportations and this is in part because the Democrats have worked with the GOP to facilitate broad American support for xenophobia
It says something that, to me, is harrowing that the Dems are finally riled up and it’s over an idiot’s national security breach and not, I dunno, pulling people off the street and sending them to an El Salvadoran slave labor camp without due process and total disregard over innocence or guilt.

I think Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg, among others, believe their ownership of media companies and newspapers and social media platforms gives them not just influence, but the ability to dictate what American culture *is*, and I think they’re dead fucking wrong.

The most powerful movement in American politics right now is dedicated to making sure that everyone who is not already rich gets dumber, sicker, and poorer in the future. The euphemisms are already by the wayside; it's basically text, not subtext, that kids today are learning way too much stuff.
