SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

#HealingHearts When I finally spoke about what I'd been through growing up, one relative didn't dispute any of my memories. Rather, she started writing me letters giving me reasons why the abusers did what they did. Her attempts at explaining away abuse cut like a knife. #CSASurvivor #Pinks 💛💚💜
Enablers are as dangerous as abusers. They see what's happening and choose silence, excuses, or blaming survivors for reacting.

A single mom. Telling the TRUTH on her podcast. Bullied and legally threatened by Melania and Donald. Jojo is amazing 🤩 And, she’s done being quiet about it. The LEGO video from Iran perfectly portrays it. #Pinks

Not to mention that we could’ve gotten plenty of diesel fuel-and cheaper, too-without helping Putin kill innocent Ukrainians. But now, the stain of their blood will forever remain on the hands of Trump and his soulless, hypocritical acolytes in the Republican party May they rot in hell

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

This is apparently happening in multiple areas in the capital. The DC board of elections has been made aware of it and have been in touch with the National Guard to address it. It’s no accident.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

ICE agents fired into the back of a car with a 5 year old inside, trying to arrest a guy. Miraculously, she survived. If you're not furious about what happened in the Bronx yesterday, you're not paying attention. FUCK ICE.

IMO, This is the whole ballgame. Money corrupts absolutely. Josh Turek: "We need to have campaign finance reform to get dark money out of politics. I want to sponsor a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. We can have oligarchy or we can have democracy. We can't have both."

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.
