A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

As a disabled veteran the behavior of Hegseth and Trump has been criminal and destructive to our standing in the international community. Nobody believes that what's happening is legal and above the law from these two men and they're guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity as well! 💙🇺🇸💙

Aaaaaand…this is exactly why the six lawmakers needed to remind servicemembers about not obeying unlawful orders (this will get driven home when Hegseth gets a pardon but no one else does)
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike
Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

Selective humanity: Gaza’s donkeys or its children?
International law requires equal protection for civilians in war. Yet recent actions by Western states reveal a troubling pattern in how humanitarian principles are applied – selectively, politically, and at devastating human cost.

The rule against attacking people “out of the fight” is foundational in U.S. and international law. And there’s no doubt it was crossed.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
