Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

If AI companies are willing to risk taking out public infrastructure, they should know that we're going to sue them to oblivion if they let that happen. All of them. To oblivion.

Does Basic Income Cause Divorce? 50 Years of Evidence Says No.
The 1970s fear that UBI breaks up families came from a statistical error. Finland, Canada, Kenya, and Alaska show no rise in divorce, and instead better relationships with less domestic violence.

The United States believes that the lives of rich people are more important than the lives of poor people. That's why they let poor people die from preventable problems while rich people have access to healthcare.

Everyone deserves to be financially stable enough to leave abusive relationships. That can be abusive romantic partnerships or abusive work environments. Universal basic income would help everyone be able to leave abusive relationships. Billionaires don't want that. Religions don't want that.

Cash transfers (especially through policies like universal basic income) will decrease domestic violence. Studies show that decreasing financial stress decreases domestic violence.

The multiple deaths at Delaney Hall are the predictable outcome of a rapidly expanding detention system, with no transparency or accountability. Congress must pass the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act to end mandatory detention, family detention, and private facilities like Delaney Hall.

A Congressman said reports of deadly conditions at an ICE detention center were a “false narrative.” Then two more people died. - ACLU of New Jersey
Immigration detention is cruel and inhumane. It’s also deadly.

Salt Lake City's developing a surveillance hub for law enforcement to monitor live streams from drones, Vigilant automatic license plate readers, and other shadowy tech. Centralizing this data would make it even easier to track anyone in Utah regardless of whether they've been suspected of a crime.

Police drones buzzing across SLC feed a new high-tech crime center. The picture threatens to ‘flip’ civil liberties, a key group says.
As Salt Lake City police develop a real-time crime center at downtown headquarters, civil rights advocates are warning of its threats to privacy.

This week marks the start of a new Supreme Court term, and it could be the ACLU's busiest one yet. We anticipate fighting at the highest court in the land for immigrants' right to due process, students' right to be free from religious indoctrination, and more key rights and freedoms. We're ready.

ICE is human trafficking people across the United States RIGHT NOW. TODAY. Isolating people from their families and their legal representation. These are concentration camps.

Utah is fucking messed up. Mormons are more offended by swearing than by the rates of child abuse in their communities. They call out swearing more often than child abuse. That's how Utah gets above national rates of REPORTED child sex abuse (imagine how high UNREPORTED rates are).
