Maybe any company that develops AI should be a B Corp. In fact, any corporation should be a B Corp to have "personhood". And maybe corporations that are found guilty of causing the death of people should be given the death penalty.

Senator Tina Smith is defending America’s most visited wilderness—-a million acres of lakes, connected only by footpaths or portages, not built by forest rangers, but by native people over millenium and voyageur traders over centuries, enjoyed by campers and paddlers over decades.

Arresting this man in the first place is effectively a death sentence, given post-transplant immune concerns. Denying medication makes it torture as well. Rejection symptoms are quite awful.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

Feeding Our Future scandal: the largest COVID relief fraud case in U.S. history had a ringleader, Aimee Bock, a white woman. She founded the nonprofit, ran the operation, and was convicted on wire fraud and bribery charges. Funny how the right never blamed white folks as a group for that fraud. 2/4

Fraud is fraud. It has no ethnicity. That brings us to YouTuber Nick Shirley. He has a track record of posting videos that stir up fear about immigration. He once orchestrated a stunt involving paid day laborers in front of the WH to push racist narratives about migrant voting behavior. 3/4

SNAP funding expires this weekend and Minnesota steps up to partially fill in the gap. Our state's food shelves keep kids and families fed during tough times. But Bill Lieske has voted against funding for our food shelves. Who's he helping? I'm running to make sure our money is spent on our people.
