Creating, possessing and distributing child sex abuse materials are all crimes. Prosecute Zuck and his collaborators. Dissolve Meta. Salt the earth where it all once stood.

WIRED@wired.com · 8h ago

Over the last nine months, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and images of minors alongside sexually suggestive statements, according to details of the ads shared with WIRED.

Abdul El-Sayed faced more outside spending in a Democratic primary than any Senate candidate in history. But he stayed focused on working families, young voters, and people who had lost faith in the system. And he won.

"It’s almost three months that [my husband] has been detained in solitary. And within that time, not only is his mental state just broken, but I had to give him the news that I had lost my pregnancy while him in solitary. That’s not something that I even knew how to handle. I am still grieving."

Please God put it at the beginning of your sentence instead of a few words in after your verb

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

There’s 90% resources going into handling the aftermath of crime and 10% in the prevention It should be the other way around If 80% of crime is survival crime imagine what would happen if we addressed poverty We need UBI now

Yes, there is great irony in giving these extra five minutes tasks to people where even finishing a meal can feel like marathon. I don’t get why there is not more societal curiosity into why there people that lack the energy to do the basics of staying alive. Nobody choses to live like this. Ever.

"When debating the bill to ban guaranteed income before it had a chance to be tested, some of my colleagues claimed people would stop working. Not only do the UpLift pilot results prove them wrong, but the results show an unfortunately harsh reality: getting and keeping a good job costs money."

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

If he was really upset about her post he could have just blocked her or detached his quote. Instead he decided to draw waves of attention to her, made her an international target for transphobia, and ruined her digital life. And for what? A bad, mean joke? Was it worth it?

This is heartbreaking. @kenjennings.bsky.social did so much damage and his actions caused a cascade that chased an innocent trans woman off the internet The fact that she has suffered all the consequences from his actions should make everyone stop and think about how privilege played out here

So my daughter was going to walk with me on my wheelchair ramble to the park. On our way to the park, the farmer's market was set up! So we stopped there and walked around. I think we were gone for two hours in total. I'm beat. My daughter is even more beat because she was walking. Phew!

My autonomic neurologist told me to perform "only 5 minutes" of aerobic exercise per day and try to increase it by 1 minute each day until I reached 10-20 minutes. I did try it for two days, despite knowing GET is terrible for ME/CFS. I crashed for TWO WEEKS.

One of the things a patient with complex chronic disease dreads to hear from any doc is, “Add this new thing to your routine. It will only take 5 minutes each day.” The “only” is doing *such* heavy lifting. When you add in all the other bits and pieces, tracking medications, handling the 1/3

all members of the healthcare team have to search for ways to save any scraps of time we can for these patients, and help them prioritize the many “only 5 minutes a day” tasks they’ve been given. That’s real healthcare value right there. #chronicdisease #mecfs #longcovid 3/3

logistics of 3 or more medical appointments a week, lab tests, and the list goes on, on top of illness/fatigue, such a person simply does not have many spare minutes. 5 minutes on something new might erode their remaining daily “having a life” time by 10% or more. As docs, we and 2/3

I think it's time to go for another "walk" in my power wheelchair. I've been outside more in the past two weeks than I was for the previous six years. POTS means my heart rate increases even though I'm not using my legs, but I can take a break and recline the chair if necessary.

More folks need to be asked "Do you support trans/Muslim/Jewish/etc people?" immediately followed by "How? Describe the steps you've done to actualize that support." Because holding a kind position in your heart isn't support. It doesn't feed people or get them shelter or protect their families.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9:1 in the Senate primary. With over $60 mil in backing from AIPAC-aligned groups and corporate interests, every Michigan Dem got to hear Haley Stevens’ message — and they still picked Abdul’s vision of money out of politics, money in your pocket and Medicare For All.
