Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Last night, Senate Republicans voted to allow tax cuts for people making over $100 million per year. ❌And $500 million per year. ❌And $1 billion per year. ❌Then they voted against tax cuts for big corporations. You just can’t make this stuff up.

Morgan Stanley is stepping in to support Tesla amid its declining share price, framing the drop in sales as a positive development. This move is part of a broader effort by billionaires to control the narrative in pursuit of tax breaks.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

If you think going on strike = not being able to pay your bills… we get it. But many of us aren’t able to pay them comfortably NOW. That’s why we’re: 🪧 not going on strike until our goal of 3.5% of the US Population joins us. 🪧 working diligently w/ partners & donors to amass a strike fund!

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

Shocked at all the TikTok hate going around. I assume most of those hating never used it. If you did you would understand how great it was and how much it could open up your world and challenge your beliefs. Plus let you find the coolest niche topics and creators. Don’t judge if you never used it!

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer.

The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.
