After the countrywide massacres of protesters in January, Iran’s authorities have continued to terrorize the population.

Iranian authorities should immediately release all those arbitrarily detained and disclose the fate and whereabouts of those forcibly disappeared.

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Such a seriously powerful episode this week on @revealnews.org, so proud of my colleagues.
In a Minnesota town, Emily, a nurse who treats many immigrant patients, can’t locate a patient who just had a test result that shows they might have cancer.

The patient was recently detained by ICE. Situations like these have forced the clinic to adapt. This week on @revealnews.org:

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses?

People
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

The DHS funding deadline is this week and a bill can’t pass without Democratic votes.

Demand that Democrats hold the line and refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

Hot take, but no one should be using ChatGPT and any AI products in general.
OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to MAGA Inc in 2025.

There's a push to boycott ChatGPT, that tool is now added to StopICEToday.com
I gathered a few resources you can use & take action with to protect your communities from ICE:

I thought this was a boss pick- there was uproar from (w)right about Bad Bunny, especially after Kendrick, so then they book white…Green Day 😅 Love it! I took my oldest son to see Green Day (2017) for his first concert, Billy Joe was slamming Cheetolini back then- it’s going to be lit 🔥
Green Day + Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl is cultural dominance.

Punk, Puerto Rico, and zero tolerance for fascist tantrums.

Someone hide the comment section. 😌🔥 #BadBunnyBowl

When Bad Bunny sings “Aquí mataron gente por sacar la bandera,” it’s a warning & a celebration of survival. In 1948, owning the Puerto Rican flag was illegal. Erasure was intentional. So is today’s history-scrubbing.
We remember.
We teach it.
We protect it. 🇵🇷🔥 #BadBunnyBowl

I’ve protested at facility-it’s a “converted” office building never supposed to house ppl overnight. The town voted against it recently but there are contract complications preventing closure- State House needs to outlaw them! @agcampbell.bsky.social @massgovernor.bsky.social

Dem leadership take note- Not for 2 secs let alone 2 weeks-Defund DHS
No more masks
No more camps
No more unconstitutional/lawless actions
No more presence at churches, courthouses, schools, public parks, hospitals, polling locals
No more warrantless anything
No More White Nationalist/ Bigots
For the record: I will not send another cent to Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller while the department they run is shredding the Constitution and murdering American citizens in the streets.

A two-week extension is two weeks too long. I’m voting no.

Trump’s EPA is letting some polluters dodge Clean Air Act rules. Medical sterilization plants using toxic chemicals are getting free passes to exceed emission limits. We’re joining partners to sue the EPA for giving polluters this unwarranted break.
Trump's 'get-out-of-jail-free card' for polluters faces its latest test in court
The president exempted about 40 medical sterilization companies from Biden-era emissions standards. A new lawsuit challenges his authority.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.

He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

This morning there was an ICE presence on McKinley street but then over 20 neighbors responded right away with their whistles and cameras and ICE left. This follows over a dozen ICE agents breaking into an apartment on Franklin Ave at 6 am this morning without presenting a warrant.

Americans, we are living in a time of viciousness.

We are living in a time where speaking the “wrong” language or having the “wrong” skin color puts you in danger.

Congress must disband ICE and impeach Kristi Noem.
