Private equity is looting our communities. It's everywhere—our healthcare, our food, our housing, and our businesses. It's unacceptable. We need to get private equity out of our lives now.

This is powerful essay written in plain talk, with citations and hearts on its sleeve. No metrics make cutting the Humanities make sense, just ask the CEOs in the actual corporate world.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.

Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member.
It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

Who is Hasan Piker and why should I care? I’m supposed to not notice the entire GOP and SCOTUS covering up for a rapey president destroying democracy and the rule of law and engaging in scams and war crimes because of some rando I’ve never heard of with a podcast?

New from 404 Media: we've got leaks from Amazon, GitHub, Adobe, Citi, and more. The big takeaway is that companies in all industries are suddenly throttling their employees' AI use because AI is actually too expensive. Cutting off access to some models entirely www.404media.co/companies-ar...

Companies Are Throttling Employees’ AI Use Because It’s Too Expensive

Sources and leaks from Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and more show what is really happening with AI right now: companies are trying to rein in AI use as costs spiral out of control.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

Then I guess it's not a financially sustainable organization. They'll have to close some locations or shorten their hours. Alternatively, we could end the public navy and let private navies provide this service.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.
