NYC plans new AI-focused school as rules for the tech are delayed The education department wants to open a new Next Generation Technology High School.

Gross schools decision- This is irresponsible corporate hazard zone @mayor.nyc.gov

We need regulations for AI and cloud computing.

Fight Against No-Speech Zones Please take action!

If NY’s proposals around so-called "buffer zones" had been enacted during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, they could have stopped marches from taking place, severely limiting the scale + impact of the movement.

NY should promote free speech β€” not stifle it. Take action:

"As we achieve a historic transformation in Venezuela, we're also looking forward to the great change that will soon be coming to Cuba. Cuba's at the end of the line."

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

The US-Israeli bombing campaign has divided Iranians at home and abroad - and across much of mainstream Western media, one side is being significantly amplified.

BREAKING: Senate vote on War Power’s Resolution fails 47-52

46 Dems in favor, 1 Nay (Feckless Fetterman)

51 GOP against, 1 Yea (Rand Paul, co-sponsored bill with Kaine)

It is unhinged that we even need a war power’s resolution to restate what is explicit in the Constitution. Yet here we are. smh

Most democratic reps including you are out of touch as well! The majority of democrats do not support Israel’s war on Gaza or the occupation. You all have doubled down on aid to Israel leading to further deaths of civilians across the Middle East. As my rep, I ask you to stop arming Israel.

Since Trump was elected, this is what his β€œbooming economy" looks like:
- Billionaires became $1.5 trillion richer

Meanwhile:
- 60% live paycheck to paycheck
- 15 million are losing health care
- 20 million saw their premiums double

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% β€” its lowest on record.

Meanwhile, Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

β€œColonial Apartheid Regime”: Jeremy Scahill on Trump’s β€œBoard of Peace” & Plans For Gaza Journalist Jeremy Scahill says the Trump administration’s vision for the Gaza Strip is of a continued β€œcolonial apartheid regime” with Israel and U.S. interests controlling the lives of millions of Pa...

"What Palestinians in Gaza are being faced with is, you either fully bend the knee and accept a colonial apartheid regime as your overseer, you accept a new reality as dystopian plantation workers on Jared Kushner's real estate project β€” or, we're going to kill you."

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America?
The Most Dangerous Corporation in America? The AI surveillance state is real β€” and it's being built by Palantir.

Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year β€” including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts β€” and paid ZERO federal income tax.

It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America. https://youtu.be/x_VwyhErd88?si=RCrKYNu1bMlNhU0G

We continue to live in a mass incarceration state that profits off imprisonment, illegal detainment, prison labor/enslavement, and separating families. This government would rather build data centers and more detention facilities than invest in social services that benefit the people and democracy.

Hudson River Park Trust Keeps Dodging Questions About Its ICE Contract And more news for your Tuesday.

Starbucks has scrapped a $250,000 limit on its CEO's use of the company jet for personal travel.

CEO Brian Niccol uses the jet to commute from his house California to corporate HQ in Seattle.

The company is lifting the cap while refusing thousands of baristas a union contract.

Yeah, I talked to a handful of people about it a little bit at home about a year ago. At the time, the tariff were definitely impacting and people knew but they weren’t connecting it to Trump or politics. Curious if that has changed at all.
