If I can jump in and add my own feedback echoing Erin's — the option to toggle it off so we don't see it AND the option to choose whether we want our likes displayed like that both feel important. I will just stop liking posts if it's going to be highlighted like that.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Wild to me that they have more to say about people on the left who are trying to make things better than the actual people destroying things. Just constantly proving how broken their priorities are. It's "big tent" with fascists but "parasites" with anyone left of center.

this is a huge deal and a sign of the changing legal tides for big tech. the plaintiffs attorneys here were early adopters of a novel legal strategy that uses product liability law to sidestep tech companies' go-to defense (section 230) and hold them accountable for defective or negligent design

Thread. I'm begging people to realize how much we've already given in just the past 25 years. I'm old enough to remember when surveillance wasn't ubiquitous and before ICE or the TSA existed. There was even a time when the average cop wasn't kitted out for full on urban warfare.

$1 billion is an annual $100,000 salary for ten thousand years. $780 billion is an annual $100 MILLION salary for almost eight thousand years. No one is worth this. Tax breaks, wage theft, and not paying for what you steal from the planet is where is money came from.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
