During the Holocaust, the @nytimes.com shamefully buried news of the mass murder of Jews in its back pages, sometimes tucked in at the end of unrelated articles. With genocide scholars saying a new genocide is happening in #Gaza, the Times is behaving the same way.

NEW: A former Microsoft AI engineer says the company's "AI for sustainability" claims are BS, a distraction from their hyper-polluting AI contracts with oil companies.
“From what I saw," he said, "I believe that finding and extracting more oil is one of the biggest use cases of AI today."

ICYMI: The giant tax and spending bill Republicans are advancing through Congress is basically a copy-paste of a secret oil industry wish-list revealed last year
It allows new fossil fuel projects to bypass environmental review while destroying clean energy competition

Excellent 2nd half - history of birthright citizenship in US. Even the most reactionary courts have not questioned the obvious language of the 14th Amendment.
