Resistance to ICE has already begun in my hometown of LA.

A tweet from KTLA 5 (@KTLA) reads: "NOW: Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway. Read more: ktla.com/news/local-new...". Below the tweet text, there is an image showing a large group of protesters gathered on and around the 101 Freeway near an overpass with a sign indicating "Alameda St Mission Rd". The protesters are holding various signs and flags, including American flags and Mexican flags, and appear to be blocking the freeway.

Bullet 1: Led by Netanyahu, Israel has killed 14,000 children, and 9,000 women in Gaza. And now Netanyahu ends press freedom by shutting down media and seizing their equipment.

Bullet 2: ICC prepares arrest order of Israeli leaders for their actions, and Netanyahu calls it a lasting stain on justice.

The Israeli people deserves better leaders.

A thought provoking talk. I enjoyed both the topic and the presenter's style.

As far as I'm concerned in 2020 the U.S. replaced Incompetent Fascists with Competent Fascists.

Since the early 2000s I haven't used IRC much. Every once and a while I'll log back in and it just happened again. What's funny is that according to the text-logs I keep; this _KEEPS_ happening in the month of May for some reason. Year after year; I'll connect to LibreChat (before that FreeNode) a handful of times during the month of May and almost NEVER during any other month.

I wonder what it is about the month of May that makes me nostalgic for IRC. 🤔

Can't wait for this trend to die

"Girl Putting Tuba on Girl's Head" meme, with the one holding the tuba labelled "any company", the tuba labelled "AI", the girl whose head is inside the tuba is labelled "me".

I do not understand how Microsoft could think inserting Ads into an operating system you paid for was acceptable.

Reminder: Es ist sinnvoll, sich einer Gewerkschaft anzuschliessen. Mehr Gewerkschaftsmitglieder führen zu weniger Ungerechtigkeit beim Einkommen.

#TagDerArbeit #workersday

Grafik: blaue Kurve mit Einkommensanteil, der an die Top 10% geht und rote Kurve mit Gewerkschaftsmitgliedschaft, beides in Prozent für die Jahre 1917 bis 2017. Duetlich erkennbar, wie ab ~1960 das Einkommen der Top 10% steigt, während die Gewerkschaftsmitgliedschaft sinkt. Werte für die USA.

Recent events at UCLA, at Columbia University, and at other anti-genocide protests should make one thing very clear: The USA is a police state. 🚔

TITLE: "Where are US police spending ranks among worldwide military expenditures"  Bar graph shows that US state and local governments collectively spend more on policing than most countries do on their militaries. In 2018, total US spending on police forces was $118 billion. That is more than any other nation except China spends on their combined armies, navies, and air forces.
