If nothing else, just read the opening paragraphs of the new @vevalenz.bsky.social piece. This sort of casual cruelty, and worse, is so common in U.S. jails/prisons that to most it barely registers as scandalous—but it is, and this reporting really matters: boltsmag.org/california-p...

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

Yesterday afternoon, ICE agents — who did not present a warrant, and who appear to have been disguised as construction workers — fired 7 shots into a car with a 5-year-old child, hitting Oscar Belgal in the neck.

ICE is continuing to target our undocumented neighbors across the metro. Masked agents are terrorizing them: profiling them based on their language and skin tone, and kidnapping them off the street.
Current news headlines around threats of federal agents at polling places are overlaid with the event details.

ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.

No speech, title, or presidential ambition can scrub that death toll from Rubio’s legacy. In this upcoming election, from local races to national contests, voting against anyone running as a Republican reminds the entire party that its power has limits.

a lot of people are replying with 'what are you going to do about it,' and while every level of government could do more, the powers the *DC City Council* has in this situation are comparatively limited. This isn't just voter intimidation, but an argument for statehood for the District of Columbia.

We released a new report in partnership with @amnesty-usa.bsky.social that analyzes how colleges and universities unconstitutionally targeted pro-Palestinian protestors from 2023 to today, and provides recommendation on ways to protect academic freedom.
Cream graphic titled "How Colleges and Universities Can Protect Free Speech on Campus".  The first bullet reads "Protect Free Speech of All Students and ensure that campus policies on political speech are viewpoint neutral." The second bullet reads "Refuse demands from the government that undermine academic freedom". The third bullet reads "Don’t adopt vague or overly broad policies against discrimination or harassment that chill political speech". The last bullet reads "Avoid deploying law enforcement and crowd control weapons during peaceful campus protests". At the bottom there are protest signs reading "Protect Free Speech" and logos for the ACLU and Amnesty International.

Kobach is inept - and corrupt In 2018, as Sec of State, he brought a lawsuit over voter law. He was so bad that a federal judge sent him to remedial legal classes Then, he was legal counsel/board member at We Build the Wall. Two of his colleages at the org ended up in prison for a fraud scheme
