Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image.
All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

‘Prijelomni trenutak za bosanske muslimane nije odvajanje od Osmanskog carstva’
Bosanski muslimani su shvatili svoje stanje i tražili načine da ostanu relevantni u dešavanjima koja se odnose na budućnost Bosne i svoje mjesto u njoj, ukazuje historičarka Leyla Amzi-Erdogdular.

Unlike nearly every conversation I've heard on the topic of late, this starts from the stakes for trans people and our families and never abandons them. Recommended listening if you want a good preview for Wednesday.

Data is never ‘collected’, it is only *generated*.
This isn’t merely a pedantic semantic gripe; by misrepresenting ‘data’ as something that exists in nature & has only to be scooped up, evasion of accountability for data harms has already begun
Data doesn’t exist until someone constructs it
