1/ Russian commanders have been sending their superiors fake AI-generated video reports of successes in the Lyman area, Russian warbloggers complain. This reportedly made the Russian high command oblivious to Ukrainian activity until it was too late. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/noel...

If the last 15 years of work on things like MH17 and chemical weapon use tells me anything is you'll need a lot more than mere evidence to change the mind of any denialist.

In 1915, the American Association for Labor Legislation introduced a model bill for state-level health insurance. It mandated that the costs of healthcare be split three ways: 40% from the employer, 40% from the employee and 20% from the state. This formula alarmed Gilded Age corporations. /2
Press photo of leaders of the American Association of Labor Legislation in 1936. The AALL was a pioneering progressive advocacy organization that operated from 1906 to 1945. Founded as a branch of the International Association for Labor Legislation, the group served as a crucial early champion for employment regulation, social welfare programs and workplace safety laws. The AALL believed that the democratic state has a duty to create a minimum standard of life below which no human being should fall. The group was a major early proponent of national compulsory health insurance, unemployment insurance and old-age pensions. Universal healthcare had been proposed in 19th-century populist movements, and radical and immigrant labor organizations had created their own informal systems. The AALL changed the game because they were Progressive Era technocrats. They drafted actual legislation and lobbied state governments to pass it.

A reminder that KKK criminal Ken Paxton offered a 1 day prison sentence in Texas for a child rapist and a judge gave that rapist a 60 day sentence which ended up being reduced to 29 days for good behavior. Ken provides protection for pedophiles as well as crooks.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Paxton's buddy, a child rapist, raped a child for 3 fucking years, from the time the child was aged 8 until 11. And Paxton thinks 60 days in the country club prison for rich GOP Texans was sufficient penalty for raping a child for three years? Come on Texas, kick the Paxton trash to the curb in Nov.

Ciaran Martin, the former head of Britain’s cyberdefense agency, said the F.B.I. hack likely had “huge impact on the operational capability” of the bureau and could rank as one of the most consequential data breaches in history — graver even than the Office of Personnel Management burglary.

“Losing the data on 20 million federal employees to the Chinese was bad,” Mr. Martin said. “But you knew the Chinese weren’t going to sell or publish it.”

They also took a lot of pride in what they were doing…. In 1933, FDR’s “Tree Army” put 3 million unemployed young men to work. They planted 3 billion trees and helped build more than 800 state parks. Nearly a century later, we’re still enjoying what they made. Imagine doing that today.
