Congratulations to Anthropic on apparently pioneering the Hacking as a Service (HaaS) sector.
Anthropic says a hacker used its Claude chatbot "to an unprecedented degree": Claude identified vulnerable companies, wrote infostealer malware, analyzed stolen files for extortion purposes, calculated extortion amounts, and wrote extortion messages. www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...

FEMA has suspended over 20 workers who criticized the agency's new direction under Trump.

These staff signed an open letter calling out Trump officials and funding cuts.

In their letter they warned that another "national catastrophe" like Hurricane Katrina is possible.

not to mention that 400,000 federal workers lost their union contracts
The irony/idiocy of this banner currently draped on the Department of Labor building is not lost on me, given all the federal workers he's forced out of their jobs.

I wrote earlier this year the way forward on this is to hold the line but build it into a muscular platform of equal rights, leave nobody behind, etc.
Pritzker has been one of the few Democratic voices who has not really deviated on supporting transgender people.
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

American worker pay increased by just 3.6% in 2024.

CEOs, on the other hand, saw their pay rise twice as fast -- over 7.7% increase.

Median total pay for bosses at the biggest corporations rose to $19 million last year.

Chattel slavery was genocide.

Transphobia is wrong in all forms.

Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Haiti, and Puerto Rico should be free.

Please stop debating basic human rights.

Just donated again to the Fateh campaign. We need a candidate for the Many, not one who's only for the landlords, PACs, and state DFL insiders.

Vote Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton. #DontRankFrey
28 party insiders met privately and voted to overturn our endorsement.

Let me be clear, we’re still in this fight. And we’re going to win.

MN DFL has revoked its endorsement of Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh—though he won the nomination.

DNC found a way to revoke David Hogg’s election to vice chair—though he won the nomination.

It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh.

A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates who volunteered, organized, and participated in a months-long DFL process.
