Protester seen getting pushed by moving SUV during anti-ICE demonstration in downtown LA Dramatic video from an anti-ICE protest in downtown L.A. captured the moment a protester apparently tried to block the path of an SUV exiting a federal compound.

I wonder if there's other words, more descriptive words, more legally accurate words, for when "an SUV exiting a federal compound" "pushes" an "an anti-ICE protester" who was carried "along on the hood for a few seconds before she fell off"

I am just now learning that this is a thing!

Half of US broadcast network dramas are about cops Perhaps one reason why America’s national reckoning on police brutality took so long to arrive is because TV is conditioning its citizens to view cops as reliable heroes.

“Jews are overrepresented in the media.”

No, no, no, you’re thinking of cops. Cops are overrepresented in the media.

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

Again, please start looking at American history to explain America because Goldwater, McCarthyism and blackballing are right there...

“Heritage Foundation is being openly racist”

No

They’re messaging and comms is being openly racist

They’ve been racist , you just thought they may have had a “point” and felt a way that Black people calling out racism had power for a minute

And now it doesn’t

I spent 10 years living in the upper Midwest and I have decided to unsubscribe from weather as a result.

I have a friend who thinks I could survive in a real cold place like a Chicago or Maine and I truly do not understand what you people do when there's a lot of snow on the ground and the car can't move and it's bitterly cold so you don't want to go outside anyways.

I pet three dogs this week and they were all friendly (I asked before petting)

I've also used these for metalworking and if the molded kind work for your face shape/size, they are comfortable to breathe through.

I used a version of these pre-Covid for wildfire season in the Bay and also for metalworking. Can vouch for it being comfortable to breathe through.

to justify being a technology that kills real Black people , it uses the American tradition of fake Black people

And non Black people’s refusal to repair anything

Including Black people calling out fake Black people

… to now usurp real Black people

Oh my lord. Well, I’ll just say … it doesn’t affect me personally at this point, but if it did, it wouldn’t anymore after this if you get my drift.

Despite a reader uproar, including thousands of canceled subscriptions, Mr. Bezos suggested even more changes at a December meeting with The Post's leadership in New York: Only views in line with his support of personal freedom and free markets would be welcome in the opinion section, which has long published columnists and guest writers with a variety of views. At another point, he expressed enthusiasm about the commentary published by The Free Press, a news and opinion site founded by the journalists Bari Weiss, Nellie Bowles and Suzy Weiss, and that month had dinner with Bari Weiss and Ms. Bowles in New York at the upscale Indian restaurant Bungalow.

If recent events have not compelled you to cancel your Washington Post subscription, then you might have been in for sticker shock at the dawn of your latest billing cycle. Many readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you'll find an asterisk and the following: "This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data."

Which is why we don't need an explainer on their ideology, we need them exposed as government assets

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

An effort to remedy harm from a race-based kidney test helps Black patients seeking transplants A racially biased medical test for years kept Black people from getting kidney transplants. A new study shows a national plan to remedy the harm is working.

Black kidney patients were delayed or blocked from transplants by a race-based medical formula that made their kidneys appear healthier. Now, thousands are regaining lost wait-list time through restorative justice efforts. We must keep speaking truth to power until health care equity is real.

Whaaaaat? This is amazing

one of the earliest lessons in politics I learned as a kid from my parents was to always vote for a tax increase, because you're trading a dollar amount so small you probably won't notice in order to fund something important that benefits everybody. I wish that was how Democrats messaged this stuff!

Our local news coverage of the attack on the temple in West Bloomfield is light years ahead of national coverage.

Detroit, Dearborn, and SE Michigan is not utopia. However, there is a very long history of interfaith cooperation here. Many of us mourn for and with our Jewish and Muslim neighbors.

If you think the far-right Israeli government is sitting around worried about what American Jews think about them you’re a ridiculous person.

They don’t give a fuck about us or our opinions and they don’t even give a fuck about our money because they have MASSIVE $$$ coming from Christian Zionists
