A swarm of cops dragging away a rabbi protesting the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil says everything you need to know about the Trump agenda.
Trump doesn't care about Jewish safety - he's focused on taking away our right to protest. Not in our name.

Unacceptable. True climate justice work means connecting the dots to racism, colonialism, and genocide.

Keep saying it loud and often: generative "AI" is not intelligent, it is riddled with inescapable errors, it is structurally incapable of ever doing half the things its hypers claim it will do, most of it is snake oil in search of a mark to scam, and it's environmentally destructive to boot.
