Once “the entire internet” has been “deeply censored,” we won’t be getting it back.
The Internet created Millennials & Gen Z, & our overlords are desperate to reverse it.
Future generations aren’t meant to be thinkers.
Currently all info on the website for the Selective Service System (the draft) about Conscientious Objection is a dead link. This denies 19 million draft-eligible youth vital facts about their rights.

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f
Incarcerated people have more chronic medical conditions than ever.
Yet healthcare behind bars is blocked by expensive copays, limited resources, & understaffing – creating a situation in which each year spent in prison takes *2 years* off an individual’s life expectancy.
Monterey Park in LA County is now the first city in the country where voters have banned data centers.

“The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow.”
BREAKING: The Louisiana Senate passed a disturbing anti-homeless bill that pushes homeless people into jails, forced treatment, and unpaid labor. Hours earlier, the same lawmakers voted to give themselves $1,000 to cover housing expenses, recognizing housing is too expensive.
Samsung just averted a strike by granting chip workers an average bonus of about $340,000.
The union made a credible strike threat that would have threatened the global chip supply, and Samsung, predicted to be the 2nd most profitable company on Earth this year, caved to worker demands.
Samsung has about 78,000 people in its semiconductor division, and while bonuses will vary the average comes out to a stunning $340,000 per worker.
@Doob13Ashtray@Max009732090717@MorePerfectUS Would be a pretty lame union if management was part of it.
If you read the article, regular workers pulling in $53k are getting $416k bonuses.
A judge has ruled that corporations can vote in some Delaware elections.
Delaware Superior Court Judge Craig Karsnitz said the town of Fenwick Island was not diluting human votes by allowing companies and other legal entities that own property to cast votes in municipal elections.
These "legal entities" and corporations make up about 12% of registered voters in the town.
In total Delaware has far more corporations chartered in the state than residents.
Judge Karsnitz rejected the constitutional arguments of the ACLU, including the claim that "entity" or corporate voting dilutes the political power of living people.
The mechanism is specific and worth reading carefully.
Able-bodied adults without dependents must now document 80 hours per month of work, training, or volunteering to maintain SNAP. Job searching - actively looking for work - does not count. Miss the threshold over any three-month period: ineligible for three years.
The exemption that previously protected former foster youth from this time limit has been eliminated. A population already more likely to face housing instability, academic disruption, and unemployment now runs the same clock as everyone else.
The average SNAP benefit is $6 per day. That is what this policy fight costs at the individual level.
The bill that built this requirement cut $187 billion from SNAP in the same legislation that extended tax cuts for corporations and wealthier Americans. That contrast is in the record.
Pope Leo XIV on AI:
“Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word [disarmed] is strong I know, but deliberately chosen because this moment needs words capable of attracting attention, awakening consciences, and indicating paths forward for humanity.”
“vibecession” meanwhile all economic growth is based on online gambling companies and AI speculation, the white collar job market is basically impossible to break into without connections due to ai resume scanning, and groceries have doubled in price
I need u in there today.
If you wait a week or two to see I Love Boosters, it won't be in theaters, so you might as well read the spoilers.
If we don't have the theaters packed this week, they snatch us off screens. And some heavy hitters come next week and the week after.
just insanely depressing. 4 years of organizing down the drain because we were skeptical of how striking at our one store would do anything and because the union president is too busy hanging out with e-celebs to prioritize a forefront in the labor movement
