ICE is fascist. Fight for immigrants! Palestinians must live: we’re complicit. Black Lives Matter! Anti-Semitism sucks. Disability rights! Me: old fat white lesbian, former A’s fan. Live on unceded Lisjan/Huchiun land, in Oakland, CA.

An under-appreciated downside of “AI search” or “Google Zero” is it becomes nearly impossible to replicate the same results for different people, meaning it will become easier for scammers to do stuff like this and harder for journalists (and law enforcement) to demonstrate the size of the problem

On the 62nd anniversary of his assassination, JFK's granddaughter wrote a (for now) not paywalled essay about her terminal leukemia. Discussing the treatments and medications she's had. And that the scientific research behind it is being destroyed by her cousin RFK Jr.

An underlying dynamic throughout this article is that the risk of deportation doesn’t just come from calling the police. It’s also from trusting a new landlord or seeking medical care.
Institutions that used to offer support become dangerous if they may be cooperating with ICE.

Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) publicly announced she has referred the state’s grassroots referendum campaign to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming without evidence that canvassers are “employing illegal aliens” to collect signatures to overturn the mid-decade redraw.

The genocide is still ongoing and in a far more horrific way than before.
In genocide, thoughts devour people.
Whoever doesn’t die from the bombing, the fire, the cold, the hunger, the humiliation of the tent, or illness… will be eaten alive by their own thoughts and die.
