Jan. 2010 - SCOTUS rules 5-4 in Citizens United vs. FEC, declaring Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 unconstitutional

May 2010 - Brazil passed the “Lei da Ficha Limpa”, barring anyone who’s been impeached or convicted of a crime by a superior court for running for office for 8 years

🚨 Hamas has released a statement detailing the “violations by the occupation of the ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm El-Sheikh one month after its implementation.”

It reads in full:

We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, reaffirm our thanks and appreciation to the efforts of the brotherly mediators, all the countries, international and humanitarian organizations, as well as the free people of the world who took a brave moral and humanitarian stand by rejecting the genocide carried out by the occupation against our people in Gaza. We also value the efforts of the mediators who contributed to reaching the ceasefire agreement. As part of the Movement's and the resistance forces’ commitment to implementing the agreement, based on our national and humanitarian responsibilities, we call on the brotherly mediators, guarantors, countries, and international organizations to continue exerting pressure on the occupation and obliging it to stop its repeated violations and breaches, which aim to undermine the agreement and sabotage the efforts to solidify and sustain it, which have been as follows: First: Hamas's full and thorough commitment to the agreement Since the ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm El-Sheikh came into effect, the resistance forces have fully and accurately adhered to implementing the agreement in good faith. They successfully handed over the twenty live captive Israeli soldiers within 72 hours of the implementation’s start. They also continued their careful search for the remains of Israeli soldiers, despite the numerous complications, through coordinating daily with the mediators and the International Red Cross. This was done despite the severe field conditions caused by the war, its complete alteration of the landscape of Gaza and destruction of its infrastructure, the occupation controlling 60% of the Strip’s territory, the work being done amidst hundreds of tons of unexploded ordnance dropped by the occupation, the lack of excavation machinery and debris removal equipment, which the occupation continues to block from entering, many of the resistance fighters guarding the Israeli captives being martyred, and the bodies of hundreds of resistance fighters and Palestinian civilians disappearing with no trace, with some of them potentially being Israeli prisoners. However, the movement managed to locate 24 bodies out of 28, and through the mediators and the International Red Cross, it provided coordinates of additional locations of bodies in areas under the occupation’s control. The movement continues its intensive efforts to locate the remaining bodies. The movement has left no pretext that the occupation attempts to fabricate unanswered, consistently proving through actions and field facts its full commitment to the terms and spirit of the agreement. Second: Violations by the occupation one month after the agreement The occupation has not ceased since the start of the agreement to undermine and violate it on a daily and moment-by-moment basis, as well as fabricating pretexts. These include: 1. Killing and targeting civilians: 271 Palestinians were martyred as a result of deliberate shelling and gunfire by the occupation forces. More than 91% of the martyrs were civilians, with 94% of them located inside the "Yellow Line”, with the rest near it. Among the martyrs were 107 children, 39 women, and 9 elderly individuals, meaning that 58% of those killed were children, women, and the elderly. This scene highlights the continued policy of systematic killing against defenseless civilians by the occupation. (1/4 continues below)

None are in serious danger of losing a primary. That could change, but it's unlikely, and none have viable challengers making serious moves (Moulton doesn't count).

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc
The future being pushed by both AI boosters and educational censors is one where access to information is tightly controlled. Children will not be allowed to read certain books or learn certain narratives. “Research” will be performed only through one of a select few artificial intelligence tools owned by AI giants which are uniformly aligned behind the Trump administration and which have gone to the ends of the earth to prevent their black box machines from spitting out “woke” answers lest they catch the ire of the administration. School boards and library boards, forced to comply with increasingly restrictive laws, funding cuts, and the threat of being defunded entirely, leap at the chance to be considered forward looking by embracing AI tools, or apply for grants from government groups like the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is increasingly giving out grants specifically to AI projects.

The number of dead has now risen to 128 in the deadliest every police operation/assault in Rio's history. Even for a city under the kosh of drug traffickers and accustomed to indiscriminate police violence, the numbers are stunning.
