For those in the back, if the 4th Amendment doesn’t apply to immigrants, it doesn’t protect any of us.

The regime will claim every dwelling has an immigrant.

If the Android app can't re-navigate can we get a mute button for the voice during navigation?

Was driving an alternate way to a location and the voice would repeat over and over.

It will never stop being funny to me that the whole "you can't trust Wikipedia because anyone can edit it" scare happened and now Wikipedia is the only trustworthy website because it turns out profit motive is the reason things turn to shit.

This excellent Carbon Brief piece is yet another reminder that being aggressively anti-fossil fuels, and particularly anti-gas on climate grounds is *also* something that helps ease the crippling cost-of-living impacts that fossil fuels dump on us.

Anyone telling you these two priorities are at odds is 100% lying for nefarious reasons.

“Because there are already unmet needs, including the current 4.8-million-acre-foot shortage, data centers’ unknown unmet needs are poised to place unprecedented stress on local #water supplies across the state.” https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-ai-data-centers-water-usage-regulation/

China is dominating renewable energy production while the EU fumbles around with carbon credit scams and the US is actively fighting its own climate scientists. It’s not hard to see who is actually planning for the future, and who is going to get left behind.

Six years ago today, they could have ended it all but chose not to.

The Maryland House moved forward with legislation to prohibit local police from cooperating with ICE under 287(g), brushing aside Republican amendments. Final votes in both chambers are expected Tuesday.

ICE watchers with cell phones are just as vital to accountability journalism as old-school whistleblowers.

Shooting, killing and otherwise targeting them is an attack on press freedom and transparency.

Reminder that we do NOT live in "unprecedented" times.

On this day on Feb. 5, 1917, Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917 to block “undesirable” immigrants. That meant a ban on Asian, Mexician, and Mediterranean migrants, literacy tests, new taxes, & excluded the poor, disabled, & criminalized.

Meanwhile white European migrants were welcomed with open arms & given land via Homestead Act.

This racist law was finally repealed in 1952.

Trump wants to revive this fascism. Do not let him.

Thank you @torvalds :linux:

These next few years don't forget:

It doesn't matter if a Man or a Woman is manning the Death Drones, or is President, *if they keep using the Death Drones*.

And they certainly won't be "progressive" just because of their sex/race or any other born trait.

You can only be a Progressive based on your policy, this means policies like: anti-imperialism, anti-racism, anti-suffering.

You lost the last election sit it out and let someone actually progressive win!

“Novice workers who rely heavily on AI to complete unfamiliar tasks may compromise their own skill acquisition. We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average.”

“We found that using AI assistance led to a statistically significant decrease in mastery.”
