If the bill passes, it will make ICE the nation’s largest jailer, with more funding for prison camps than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons. It would give ICE enough money to have more officers than the entire FBI.

Today is day 15 of a hunger strike by 6 JVP members here in Chicago in protest of the deliberate US-Israeli starvation of Gaza. So far neither @duckworth.senate.gov nor @durbin.senate.gov have agreed to even meet with them. Why won’t you meet with your constituents?

In three days of bombing, Israel has murdered nearly 1,000 Iranians. That is over 300 people per day. While continuing to carry out massacres in Gaza, dropping bombs & also directly gunning starving people down. Get this malignant cancer out of our region for the love of humanity

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

If you think non-violence is the truly right way, where are there trainings near you? Who’s holding them? How can you help them? Can you donate? Are you spreading contact info? Do you know how to find trainings in other places? White ppl have fetishized the fuck out of non-violence. 3/x

You do a GREAT disservice to those who developed and practice(d) it if you just act like it’s some simple decision. It is not. If you want ppl to participate in resisting fascism through non-violence, you had better be doing everything you can to make that training available. Don’t talk shit. 2/x

I’m just going to get this out now, since I know it’s coming, and I can just link to it. DO NOT FETISHIZE NON-VIOLENCE. It is a PRACTICE and a DISCIPLINE. The people who employed it successfully trained RIGOROUSLY. It’s not just a decision, because it goes against basic human instincts. 1/x

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty. My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

Our politics has become deeply unserious. Flags and gimmicks and stupid video clips and social media clickbait and lies. With very little serious challenge to counter the nonsense and the dishonesty. The consequences for our country and our democracy are dire. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/robert-jen...
Extract from article:

This gamification of reality, in which politicians are actively incentivised to break rules and tell lies, so long as it gets them attention, headlines and viral views, directly leads to the promotion and endurance of the sort of outright charlatans and liars that we have seen so much of in recent years.
This world view led directly to the rise of Boris Johnson in the past and it is leading directly to the rise of Nigel Farage now. And while Jenrick may seem like a mere minnow compared to the sharks he swims amongst, that should not blind us to the real dangers that would come from allowing somebody like him rise to such a prominent position at the heart of our national life.
