wearing my Appalachian Citizens’ Law Center shirt that reads: Black Lung Kills. A woman from Kentucky came over to me and thanked me for wearing it. She’d lost a lot of family to the mines. Brutal way to die.

in the mind of the GOP, tossing a sandwich at someone in tactical gear is a violent act, but forcing people to starve is not.

Just-in-Time Malware that use LLMs during execution, to "dynamically generate malicious scripts, obfuscate their own code to evade detection, and leverage AI models to create malicious functions on demand."
New: Google says it has discovered at least 5 malware families that use AI to rewrite their code and generate new capabilities on the fly, suggesting AI-powered malware is finally starting to take off. cloud.google.com/blog/topics/...

The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:

- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital

SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

three days ago, Heretic (a tiny volunteer run coffee shop) said they're going to provide meals to folks losing SNAP benefits until those benefits come back or they go broke. People have since donated $184,533 to help them feed the people. hereticcoffee.com

I left Seattle at 11pm last night and arrived in Portland around 2:30am. I spent much of the trip awake, watching the rain on the windows, looping Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto's Vrioon: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Prx6...

spent the day wandering Seattle, meeting friends, eating, drinking, reading, and generally pretending like the country isn’t a dumpster fire. I think that’s what the kids call ‘self care’

If you were out today, take a minute to appreciate the volunteers who made that shit happen so could just roll up, inflate your suit, and wave your sign… and abolish ICE.

Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."
