Reminder that a good number (half?) of the ICE/CBP goons who committed crimes are themselves Latinos, many using masks to hide that really ICE is Stephen Miller's armed Latino gang.

Man, when BMW says "that's too fascist for us"

e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online · 2d ago

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

This is an emergency. ‼️ Bex’s surgery wound is gaping and they need $263 to pay the upfront costs of getting medical help. They have stage 4 cancer and I don’t think they should go home like this. Black lives matter. Bex’s life matters. Please don’t make them wait. Their link: bit.ly/HelpBex

I hate how often it has seemed appropriate to reintroduce folks to our perfumes which fundraise for #RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. Artistically, these scents are envisioned as an appeal to the Fates for justice and vengeance. blackphoenixalchemylab.com/collections/...

I really wish RFK Jr would stop telling parents dreadful lies about the HPV vaccine—he says it increases the risk of cervical cancer, which is a horrific and dangerous lie He loves fearmongering He has made a fortune suing the HPV vaccine maker; ALWAYS follow the money & conflicts of interest

The number of cases of cervical cancer reported in Scotland among women given the HPV vaccine at 12-13 years of age is now zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. Zero. www.bbc.com/news/article...

While digging around their website, I found their ethics policy—including a section on AI-generated content. I suspect that’s a part of what happened here. And I’m upset about that too! I did NOT speak to a journalist with the assumption that my interview would be funneled into producing AI slop.

Too many men not only do these behaviors, but laugh as they’re told about them.

You think we’re just going to move on from the secret police rounding up our neighbors?

"At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care. Congenital measles is a disease that’s rarely, if ever, seen in the U.S..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

If you really still think it’s about antisemitism—and not about enabling Palestinian genocide—then you’ll have to pretend Kanye pro Hitler West isn’t playing at several of the same venues Macklemore was just cancelled from for saying Free Palestine.😐

Credit to PBS News. This is by far one of the most accurate descriptions of what trump did. None of the sanewashing we saw with so much of the news coverage.

After President Donald Trump told attendees at the Republican midterm convention Thursday night that "we want honesty in our elections," he led them in a pledge to "cheat like hell" and "go out and vote" in the midterm elections. https://to.pbs.org/4yTjfzl

"People laughed less and grumbled more, sang less and shouted more, and the sounds they made grew louder and uglier. It became difficult to hear even the birds or the breeze, and soon everyone stopped listening for them."

For every parent who says, "not my kid," they may be recruiting your kid. You don't know unless you find out! I’m talking specifically to white parents! Also, a lot of PoC are having their kids run around talking this trash shit, Bipoc folks better find out what their kids are doing.

Straight up the thing that repulsed me the most about men who are deeply invested in AI was the guy who openly told interviewers that he believed AI had the sentience of a five year-old, and maybe six months later was talking about how he wanted to use it to make porn. Said the quiet part out loud.

More to the point, it looks like many other conversations I’ve seen from people who have gone way too deep with a chatbot

Wouldn't it be weird if the racist billionaire who bankrolled and took credit for the neo-Nazi victory in Germany was somehow involved in American politics too? Can you even imagine? I bet the media would have a field day asking politicians who aligned with him and took his money for statements!
