The part that got cut was her comments on data centers. Basically, the only way she would allow one to be put in is if they paid for the district's infrastructure, employees, and provided all residents with a regular payment. Even then, she'd require them to use renewable energy.

Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

And if he succeeds, then precedent is set & literally no one is safe. Anyone who criticizes him, anyone who doesn’t pay homage to him, anyone not straight white male born US citizen lands on the chopping block. Fascism Is Here. 2/2

WSJ is reporting that the Trump regime is investigating Rep. Ilhan Omar to build a case to strip her of US citizenship, forcibly remove her from office, & deport her. Please understand how dangerous and catastrophic this is. It’s already fascism that he’s trying to do this. 1/2

Thank you. You can't just flip fascist framing and not get fascism at the end.

“Actually, the Child Crushing Machine is fine if it’s someone *else’s* children!” is really very much how we got here. I’m deeply unsettled by how many people I otherwise might like and agree with are willing to go right there.

still out here in pandemic year 7 going "well, maybe some people deserve to have their kids die of measles, as punishment for voting wrong. did you think of that"

genuinely I am very sick of "obviously the systems of oppression are great, but it should be Our Guys pulling the levers!" in all its manifestations

Please stop talking about deporting people you don't like, I know they are loathsome, it still sucks

nobody listens when i bring up how easy it is to fail up when the goal is destruction

People like to overplay how smart certain evil white men are, when really all they are is evil, male, and white. You can do far more destruction with those 3 things than intelligence could ever award you.

A real one. All of life’s existential problems get a little better once you get a little honey

Someone said to me they can’t believe the rape crisis on college campuses has gotten this bad, and I replied that it’s not that it’s ‘gotten this bad,’ it’s that they’re finally being reported—and even then a mere fraction of the horrid reality of epidemic campus rape.

I did a long interview about the proliferation of police drones, what they're using them for--and importantly, what's keeping them from being armed. The answer? In most places, not much. Companies are noticing this lack of regulation and are starting to roll out plans for selling weaponized drones.

Public Defenseless Podcast@pdefenselesspod.bsky.social · 13h ago

Police drones already answer 911 calls in some cities. Matthew Guariglia (@mguariglia.bsky.social) of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (@eff.org) says the taboo is one of the few things keeping them unarmed. Ep. 525 with Hunter is out now: linktr.ee/pdefenseless...

WSJ: 'The Trump administration’s investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is aimed at building a case to strip her of her U.S. citizenship and ultimately deport her, according to U.S. officials and other people familiar with the probe'

Three years ago today: 71-year-old landlord Joseph Czuba confronts his tenant, a 32-year-old Palestinian-American mom, saying he's angry at her for what was happening in Israel. "Let's pray for peace," she replies. Czuba then stabs her, and kills her son, 6-year-old Wadea al-Fayoume.

This is the power of solidarity and organizing, in the face of tremendous horror and constant violence. We need more immigration court-watchers on the ground to make sure no one is disappeared, and ICE is held accountable for their continued illegal violence. Sign up here: jfrej.org/courtwatch

Today, one of our fellow New Yorkers was kidnapped by ICE outside a court room in Federal Plaza, in direct violation of the most recent federal ruling. Because a JFREJ court-watcher was on site, we could get the person's contact info to Mi Tlalli to provide commissary & support for the family.

I have somehow stepped right in the middle of some unspecified beef between two of my Iranian friends. I don’t think it’s political? But hard to tell when they’re both doing the super polite “oh yes please invite her” & “Sorry I can’t meet you two for tea but please don’t mention anything to her!”

This is outrageous. I expect our Executive Committee will release a statement after our meeting Thursday if German Machado has not been released by then, and our body by Saturday.

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.

“We are facing an onslaught like we’ve never seen before. We need a movement that is wall to wall, every single worker, and coast to coast.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

Members of Congress must condemn this atrocity and demand an immediate end to all U.S. support for Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

The horrific video of a little girl surrounded by fire as her mother burns to death in their home exemplifies the reality of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. We cannot comprehend how any political leader with a conscience could continue to fund the sheer cruelty of the Israeli government.

Kimberly Giulfoyle is reportedly "holed up" at the official ambassador's residence in Athens after being asked to resign by President Donald Trump, as new allegations emerge about her efforts to get wealthy businessmen to cover a luxury SUV debt.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

Part of the reason protest is illegible to so many in the U.S. is that young Black people are illegible to most people in this country.

NEW: The women were victims of domestic abuse. That’s what they told police officers, attorneys and anyone who would listen. It didn’t matter. They were all taken to an immigration detention center.

Taking a friend to a show at Carnegie Hall next week and she literally asked me the best way to get there. I told her the subway line instead of the most obvious answer 🤡
