"It only cost taxpayers $1.7 million for us to seize $14,135, y'all!"

ST. PAUL MAYOR: “We’ve received reports of ICE officers going door to door asking where the Asian people live… I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may target me based on what I look like.”

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.

ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

Other countries are sending their foreign war correspondents to cover ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis.

The Department of Defence has put the US Army on alert for possible deployment to the city.

This was never about immigration.

They’re turning it into a war zone.

@adriel_rose i think mychart should have a section where the patient gets to put notes in every appointment they have with a provider too

Hundreds of masked anti-ICE protesters besiege Minneapolis hotel Masked demonstrators, drowning the streets with their whistles and bells, stormed the Canopy Hotel, with hundreds massed outside to vent their rage over Good's death on January 7.

@sesmith - i always think it's hilarious when people r like stock up on your meds or make sure you always have a 3-week supply my brother in Christ what f*cking insurance are u on and can i get it because mine only authorizes refills PRECISELY every 30 days

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.

Maybe you think someone doesn't have a lot on their plate compared to you. But maybe their plate is smaller than yours and doesn't have a lot of room to begin with. Or maybe their plate is paper, and their flimsy paper plate can't hold as much as your sturdy ceramic plate can.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

Normal Rockwell I believe man

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

When we plead with you to wear a mask, we’re trying to help.

We understand that repeat Covid infections can lead to disability and death.

We understand that the government told us to go “back to normal” for the economy, not because it was safe.

An N95 is a great way to safeguard your health!

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

breakfast in bed but it’s me in my bed in the middle of a Waffle House

It's inefficient to get out of bed in the morning only to get back in the same bed at night. Stay in bed all day to avoid this

Adults struggle with literacy…nothing wrong with asking for help or reading children’s books for confidence…I want people read..I will never judge..

Title: Violence has entered the chat Devices show: * AI is the new imaginary friend: When kids use AI, 42% of the time it’s for companionship. * These chats regularly turn violent: Of these conversations 37% discuss violent topics. How are we defining violent content? This includes videos or interactions with themes of physical violence, aggression, harm, serious injury, death, or coercion (sexual or non-sexual). This includes descriptions of fighting, killing, torture, and non-consensual acts. *Sex and violence go hand in hand: In half of violent AI chatbot conversations, sexual roleplay appeared too. *It drives engagement: Users discussing violent topics with companion AI apps write 1,000+ words per day — more than any other theme.

a neat (and scary) survey into AI "companions" and kids www.aura.com/reports/stat...

"nearly half of the time kids and teens use AI, it is
for companionship, and when they do, the themes of discussion are primarily sexual, romantic, and violent."

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

Many people won’t visit or accommodate the disabled because it’s “too hard” or being around sickness “steals their joy”.

It’s the same people who will tell us to “try harder” to be well.

It’s too hard to accommodate us but we should be able to magically get better?

Ableism.

The WHO has warned more than 100,000 Palestinian children and 37,000 PBWs — that’s pregnant and breastfeeding women — are projected to suffer acute malnutrition through April of next year. Meanwhile, Israel continues near-daily violations of the ceasefire.

The solution is right above us. Solar panels on existing buildings, car parks, and along highways generate clean power without sacrificing farmland or wild spaces. Let's use our built world first. #Renewables #Innovation

Certain species of fish can be up to two times bigger when living in protected offshore wind farm zones, a new study has found.

Global TV in Canada has aired the full 60 Minutes segment about immigrants sent to CECOT.

Bari Weiss killed it hours before it was set to air.

The men who risked their lives to tell their story will finally be heard.

The whole world will know they were tortured.

Thank you Canada.
