“You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”
― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
NEW: The Transportation Department, which oversees the safety of airplanes, cars and pipelines, plans to use Google Gemini to draft new regulations.
“We don’t need the perfect rule,” said DOT’s top lawyer. “We want good enough.”

Yeah no, a lot of folks have forgotten about the part where DHS is buying aircraft, armored personnel carriers, tanks, missiles. What you figure they gonna use that for? Would you like to imagine how the past 3 weeks play out if Kristi Noem has first strike capability anywhere in town?
I get that it sounds crazy - but uh, so is giving ICE like a 100 billion dollars - they're gonna be like the 8th largest army on earth after this.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.
Two DOGE members working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with a group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls"

Fossils of sea lilies can be found in rivers in England, and they were once believed to be fairy coins. They are also called "star stones" and are said to bring victory over enemies.

@StillIRise1963 Without ICE he cannot do this. Congress is taking up continuing funding this week. The calls are working. The 5Calls app makes this easy for newbies.
I’m urging everyone to call their Senators & Representative to demand the funding bill be used to rein in or defund ICE.
The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.
Grok CSAM isn’t a surprise it’s a pattern of history.

X offering the use of Grok to create and share pictures of undressed women and children is horrendous.
The EU Commission has already:
• taken investigative steps
• ordered the company to retain internal documents.
X now has to fix its AI tool in the EU - and they have to do it quickly.
If not, we will not hesitate to take additional measures under the DSA.
You elected a man who believes disagreeing with him is a crime because you longed to make everyone kneel to your god.
The desire for dominion over everyone has a disgusting but logical conclusion.

Palestine holds up a mirror and asks, “Is it genocide that’s wrong or is it only who genocide is *done to* that makes it wrong?

Just a quick post from the Indivisible Emergency Call. They are asking people across the US to do an "I.C.E. Out For Good" demonstration Saturday or Sunday. Can be whatever you choose: memorial, vigil, candlelight march, stationary naming of 30 people who died in ICE custody. Whatever is good for you locally. Register your event so others can find it on the Indivisible map.

Friends, at a time when science is under attack and people are economically hurting, the scientific community should work to make access easier not harder. @ACM, Association for Computing Machinery, is doing the complete opposite by introducing paywalls that didn't exist.
Features that were previously free and open to the public are now "Premium
Access" features.
If you are opposed to this measure, join me in signing this petition asking the ACM to stop.
