It really does not bode well for our society that politicians and corporations keep trying to destroy both entire repositories of knowledge and culture and our access to them while also championing AI tools that consistently plagiarize and provide incorrect information
BREAKING: The Internet Archive has lost its appeal in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the long-running, closely watched copyright case over the scanning and lending of print library books. Full story to follow.

I will keep saying this: He is lying when he says all he needs is the House and Senate and he’ll codify Roe. He KNOWS that even if that happens, SCOTUS will not uphold any such law. And since he opposes court reform, he is just lying in people’s faces and I’m tired of it.
Biden opposes bodily autonomy for women. His direct quote: “I’ve never been supportive of, you know, ‘It’s my body, I can do what I want with it’”. His misgivings about abortion are not about a belief about when life begins. He simply does not want women to have bodily autonomy.

US law requires you to suspend military assistance to any foreign country that is restricting, directly or indirectly, the delivery of US humanitarian aid. Until you do that, you’re not only failing to “pull out every stop” — you’re failing to follow US law you swore to enforce.
Together with Jordan, the United States airdropped the first package of aid into Gaza today. The amount of aid flowing to Gaza is not nearly enough and we will continue to pull out every stop we can to get more aid in.

The CDC is telling us to get back to work even if we test positive for covid. We should all be clear that this has nothing to do with public health, and everything to do with keeping the profit machine churning at our expense.
CDC releases updated recommendations for how people can protect themselves & communities from respiratory viruses. New guidance brings unified approach to addressing risks from range of common illnesses, such as COVID-19, flu, and RSV. See full details: bit.ly/4bUKXRt

Feels like the irony of a Christian mocking a man sacrificing his life for his beliefs cannot be overstated

israel claimed Palestinians trampled each other in the Flour Massacre. Doctors say the majority of wounds are gunshots. The press needs to stop taking israel at its word. Do not be a stenographer for genocide.

If we can afford war, we can afford reparations. If we can afford war, we can afford Medicare for All. If we can afford war, we can afford universal childcare. If we can afford war, we can afford college for all. If we can afford war, we can afford universal basic income.

Why are things expensive? 4 companies control 55% to 85% of the meat market. 4 airlines control 80% of air travel. 3 companies control 92% of the soda market. 3 companies control 73% of the cereal market. Why don't I hear about it? 6 companies control 90% of the news.

The UNRWA photojournalist, who captured this haunting image, was killed by Israel just one week later. This isn’t war. This is genocide. Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
There are no words.

The genocide in Palestine is like Jan 6— we can’t just ignore this, move on from it, pretend it didn’t happen. Stop asking us to pretend with you. We will not.

Married LGBTQ people: CALL A LAWYER. Get copies of birth certificates and custody for your children on paper. Make sure life insurance policies, property that you own, bank account information, passwords for things, Powers of Attorney, etc. are all set up & understood

it's important to remember that this is war. this is violence. these people are stationed to commit violence to enforce the political will of this nation upon its populace—to ensure you don't fight back against institutional control of your body. never mistake law for peace.
Snipers on the roof of the Supreme Court right now. Upper left.
