Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The "Quiet, piggy" moment will normalize and spread Trump's hate for women a tiny bit more.
UNLESS, we use it to help expose how misogyny—like all the right's strategic hatreds—is just another self-destructive con that only rewards the worst men on earth.

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

As they say: a hit dog will holler.
Democrats released a video reminding active servicemembers not to follow illegal orders, and Trump wants them executed, and Kegsbreath wants them court martialed, confirming they’re giving unconstitutional orders.
So what else can we get MAGA to admit?

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.
