Itβs not that I speak up against AI in an isolated vacuum, there are *dire* consequences with the rise of AI. And just because it doesnβt affect you yet, doesnβt mean you shouldnβt care. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We have got to find a way to fundraise for Black candidates without them taking aipac dollars.
Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.
The people who are designing a system of concentration camps for immigrants have names.
Jonathan Florentino is one of those names. He's the director of ICE's Newark office.

What we are carrying into the beginning of session. Inbox Ashley at 100% Feb 17 to me v Unsubscribe β’β’β’ 100% Dear Omolola As we mark the beginning of a new legislative session in Minnesota, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the deep weight many of us are carrying.
Thanks for this key reminder in the recent @100percent.bsky.social email. ππΏ
βItβs not like a fuzzy feelingβ¦ you have to actually put in energy, time, and you have to be clear-eyed, and you have to hold fast to having a vision. Itβs a hard thing to maintain. But it matters to have it, to believe that itβs possible, to change the worldβ¦β β @prisonculture.bsky.social
βHope is a discipline. Itβs less about 'how you feel,β and more about the practice of making a decision every day, that youβre still gonna put one foot in front of the other, that youβre still going to get up in the morningβ¦ Itβs work to be hopeful.β @prisonculture.bsky.social

Yesterday, clean energy advocates gathered for a press event to speak to the concerns and consequences that would follow if Governor McKeeβs FY27 budget was passed as it stands today. Renewables are not to blame for our states high utility bills. Clean energy is affordable energy.
These types of stories are meaningful, because so many lives are destroyed by polluters and landfills. Solar panels are a way to make use of landfills that puts money BACK in the pockets of folks most impacted by expensive, unreliable energy sources like oil.

Iβm helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July.
This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

today is the last day i will ask you to donate to peopleβs rent this month.
we are trying very hard to meet a $30,000
goal today to help the last few families on our list before their rent grace period ends.
Roughly 13,000 or so Haitian refugees were accepted by the U.S. and settled down in Springfield, OH.
The administration is wanting to rip that status away to send ICE into that community.
By definition, thatβs ethnic cleansing.

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here.
we will be going hard all day. i wonβt be posting about it because I donβt want to flood your feeds.
Listen to how brave and unflappable these observers are. Incredible heroism and outright villainy. ICE MUST LEAVE and MUST BE DISMANTLED
