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:

A flyer taped to a utility pole It features John Fetterman’s face with the eyes and mouth replaced by elements from American printed money , under the words “call your senator” and “I love bombing children with your money while you can’t afford healthcare “ and “call me” with his office number I assume
Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.
(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)
The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.
They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!
I mean, it's not actually a surprise that they think this; it's been pretty obvious for a while.
It is a surprise that they're stupid enough to say it out loud.
dawg I’m gonna lose my fucking mind
This is about the population of Iowa.
Imagine every resident of Iowa being displaced within the span of a few weeks.

Here, the judge finds that ICE’s decision to secure a contract to retrofit the facility is a determinative action and shows they willfully sidestepped performing an environmental impact statement. Also, the judges considers that ICE did not meaningfully consider input from the community last week.
HUGE.
Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo pointing out that Republicans control every branch of government while quoting a GOP post blaming Democrats for long TSA lines.
The GOP could end the DHS shutdown immediately by agreeing that ICE should act like any other law enforcement agency.
They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win.
I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
Ends March 7 (tomorrow)!

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.
Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.

You know who else did medical experiments on prisoners?
I super enjoyed Mr. Collins in Love! This also looks fun! I also enjoy stories where Caroline is redeemed.
Not ICE. Not Border Patrol. Just the same rotten local cops we've always had
Something lovely in a rough day.

Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Three U.S. service members should be alive this morning and three families shouldn't be receiving a personal visit by military officers informing them their loved one has been killed in a military operation that wasn't authorized by Congress.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,
uhhh oh my god
NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

To be clear, the GOP majority abdicating its congressional responsibilities and ceding its power to the executive is a choice.
Republicans could call votes and end this today if they wanted to. They choose not to.
I should have expected the "not wanting to bomb Iran" makes you a privileged white woman" take, as I have been on this platform for two years.
Do I think Iran's regime should burn for its misogyny? I do. Do I think the Trump administration cares about that or about women one iota? I do not.
