If you are able, please help my friend Douglas get a desperately needed ambulance to Ukraine. The lifespan of an ambulance on the front lines is only 90 days because they are targeted by Russia. If you can't donate, kindly forward. Thank you ❤️🇺🇦 #UkraineFocus gofund.me/2fd4aac1f

Americans following the Farage scandal in the UK should take a close look at this part of it bc 1) Thiel placed JD Vance, among others and 2) there were recent reports about a similar Masters of the Universe program at Stanford.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

A smoke alarm going off doesn't mean there's a fire. It means there's something worth checking.⁣ ⁣ The Census Bureau's report matched voting records to immigration records and found 24,000 alerts, then called them 24,000 illegal votes. That's not what an alarm tells you. It tells you to go look.

When a corporation causes harm, accountability is an imperative. Families already grieving or recovering should not have to spend years fighting for justice. Doing the right thing should not take years. Corporations must answer for the harm they cause & recognize the HUMAN lives behind wrongdoings.

AI does not make discrimination disappear. It is increasingly helping decide who gets a job, a home, or loans. Without proper safeguards, these systems can carry old biases into new technology and reproduce INJUSTICE at scale. Civil rights protections must evolve with technology.

Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.

Mother Jones

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."

But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."
