From @jamellebouie.net: “All occupations resemble one another in some way, and it is striking to read descriptions and accounts of the occupation of Boston in light of events in Minnesota.”

I've updated my assorted shirts on Etsy! These are designs I made as test prints or because I had spare shirts, sold at low prices. They are all unique so if you want one, be sure to grab it!

Oh, Washington folks, here’s a place to tell AI to get fucked.
If you haven’t already, take the AGO’s AI labor impact survey to make your voice heard.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

We watched the Taylor Swift 6 part docu-series about the Eras Tour.
It was so very joyful and touching and sweet.

Nope.
I've seen that movie before.
Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."

Good morning, Sky friends.
Happy (?) Friday.
At least there's coffee.

They shouldn't be doing this to ANYONE.
I DO NOT CARE IF THE PERSON ICE IS BRUTALIZING IS A U.S. CITIZEN OR NOT AND EVERY TIME YOU MAKE THE DISTINCTION IT'S LIKE YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE FINE WITH THEM BRUTALIZING IMMIGRANTS

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.
