We used AI to kill 200 children last week. Sorry if I don’t have the energy to care about a hat.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.
the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Hey Bryan! I'm wondering if you might be interested in covering my campaign to boycott The Life of a Showgirl and pledge the money to humanitarian aid for Gaza instead. I've gotten over 300 signatures on my petition and a hundred thousand views on this TikTok:

I find it disturbing that I was disinvited from @sethmoulton.bsky.social’s event, along with another social worker, after donating money to his campaign. I guess I can’t purchase the chance to talk to my congressman. Or maybe my $25 just didn’t go far enough? #mapoli
US state department stops issuing visas for Gaza’s children to get medical care
The thing that people need to understand about #TaylorSwift is that she is a person, but she is also a brand. And we need to convince her that being silent on genocide is bad for her brand.
If you are a former #TaylorSwift fan who is feeling outraged about her not speaking out about #Gaza, please sign and share my petition to boycott The Life of a Showgirl until she publicly condemns the genocide! chng.it/Z5jkfsMCNj
Treating Executive Orders as law is another autocratic constitutional amendment that's being effected by widespread fear and judicial surrender
Hey all! If you haven’t heard, a large fire is happening in Arizona right now. Indigenous communities are being harmed so please watch this video & donate to CodyArtis on Venmo.
The first person speaking is @modern-warrior.bsky.social who is Modern Warrior on Instagram, where I saw this video
NEW: The govt says it plans to begin proceedings to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to an unnamed third country (not El Salvador, where an immigration court found he is in danger of persecution) once he is released from TN criminal custody (as soon as tomorrow).
Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November.
Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
Last night, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.”
This morning, JD Vance says we will “permanently dismantle that nuclear program over the coming years.”
Which is it? Sounds like more endless war against the will of the American people.
We are marching. Idk where. I feel pretty sanguine about it. No community like a good protest community. #nowarwithIran
“No war on immigrants. Money for jobs and education, not for war and deportation!” #nowarwithIran #abolishICE
Speaker is making the explicit connection between military response to #ICE raids in LA and U.S. imperialism abroad. Says they send troops to terrorize our communities in the same way they send troops to terrorize innocent people overseas. #nowarwithIran
Speaker: They claim that #Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon, but even US intelligence says it’s not true. #NoWarWithIran
At the #NoWarWithIran rally at the state house in Boston. I’d estimate there are at least 250 people here. Not bad for 7 pm on a Wednesday. The American people do not want this.
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
From a new interview with @chenoweth.bsky.social, who coined the "3.5% rule":
"Most of the movements in our database never got to that threshold and still won with like 1.8% or something like that." podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I was just putting Orin to bed and he said, “I don’t know how to use my life,” so now there’s three of us in the house like this.
The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians.
I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally.
Canada needs evacuation assistance.
