What Israel/US is doing to Iran is horrifying but it doesn’t compare to what Israel, with full US support, is doing to Lebanon and Palestine. Not even close x.com/mamoun_linda...

AI cameras are everywhere β€” and people are paying the price for their mistakes Flock Safety's license plate readers are used by police in thousands of communities. When the cameras make mistakes, the consequences can be severe.

β€œIn a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

When they tell you
that if you do not
take off your mask,
that if you do not
start using AI,
that if you do not
get with the times,
that you will be
left behind,
remember:
it is perfectly acceptable
to respond by telling them
that you do not want
to go where they’re going.

I keep resharing info about LaFlamme and the people mad about Platnerβ€˜s candidacy keep not sharing it and I don’t really get why you wouldn’t

The DOJ is suggesting that gender-affirming care providers may be engaging in "conspiracy" because they're prescribing medications off-label. That poses danger for an important backstop in the event old restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone are restored:

It's been frustrating to watch Western media reach for the same pro-war, often pro-monarchy Iranians time and time again when there's such an easily accessible wealth of incredible scholarship done by people with deep ties to the country. An excellent list here.

Maura Healey is telling all these airlines to stop working with ICE. Meanwhile, she has nothing to say about a county sheriff detaining people and driving them to these flightsβ€”even though she could support legislation to stop the sheriff from doing so.

Okay, but Maura Healey isn't doing anything to stop the Plymouth County sheriff from holding people for ICE and transporting them to the very flights that she's complaining about.

She's even turning people over to ICE herself.

I hate when people say mutual aid will help us when gov assistance is cut off, no amount of mutual aid can replace the amount of gov assistance I get, with medications. Unless people want to donate me thousands (or more) a month 😭

I was thinking the same thing! When they were listing how much the barrels are, I thought isn't that what it was in 2006-8ish? Not that it won't be terrible but it's not catastrophic. I am regretting not having money to buy that EV tho πŸ₯²

How State and Local Leaders Are Responding to ICE: Your Questions Answered How are states restricting ICE activity? Can local prosecutors charge federal officers? How can local leaders prepare for ICE deployments? We provide answers about local responses to the immigration crackdown.

Could local officials block ICE from building more detention facilities? How could one find out if one’s local police department is cooperating with ICE?

You asked, we answered nine questions on how localities are responding to ICE.

When Graham and Trump speak like this publicly, I fear they are privately discussing using tactical nuclear weapons. Their thirst for blood and destruction seems unquenchable.

Democrats are going to fund and support this war. Like every enabling and collaborative stunt they pull, this is yet another opportunity to recognize they aren’t an opposition party but a captured group that serves the interests of the same wealth and oligarchical classes as the Republicans.

Thank you for sharingβ€”I've always dreamed of visiting my father's city, these photos are so beautiful. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates you sharing news from this horrific war. I've seen that some nights you haven't slept very much, as I haven't eitherβ€”I hope your loved ones stay safe ❀️

They have turned this beautiful city into a wasteland. Those who do don’t die from bombs will succumb to unspeakable illness. Most of my close family is in Tehran

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say:

If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

Because we're consistently in the red & can't pay people back in a timely manner we've had to completely stop sending new eSims. That's devastating for the people of Gaza living through a genocide committed on our dime. #ConnectingGaza

I know our tech overlords want us to believe that history and culture are already dead relics of a species due for extinction, but it’s really hard to think about all of the literal cradle of civilization level artifacts we’re losing right now for absolutely no reason

Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME

Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.

Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.

This list doesn't even include all the civilian police stations that have been hit, several schools recently hit are also missing, Undoubtedly other civilian structures are not here either. x.com/ali7adeh/sta...

zero percent chance that Susan Collins doesn't immediately drop all of this the second the general election starts if this guy wins the primary - the DoD is 100% sitting on the file on this guy and will send it to her the second he wins the nomination

Can you chip in and help folks stay housed in MN? There's still no eviction moratorium, and the only help that's on the way is us - community members

We're raising funds to help the Stand With Minnesota team get rent requests covered for families in urgent need.

I keep seeing the "OUR 50 YEAR WAR WITH IRAN" headlines and think, dang, really? Then maybe we should've come down harder on those Reagan administration guys for selling arms to Iran and using the proceeds to seed an illegal slush fund for far-right counterrevolutionaries in Central America
