To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.
There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.
“Ai is here. Why fight it?” Is what I hear from the pro-Ai contingent all day, every day.
Cancer is here. Discrimination is here.
Knee injuries are here. Roaches are here. Being human = fighting wrongs.
Saying, ‘it’s here, just accept it,’ is a coward’s motto.
Here to remind you again that Juneteenth isn't the celebration of the slaves being freed. It's the celebration of enslaved Texans finding out they were free TWO years after slavery was abolished....so.....UNTIL EVERYONE IS FREE, NO ONE IS FREE.

The rest of the country's headlines: It is now legal for people who can't afford to drive to work to be shot.
No one wants this shit.
We need significant regulations on data centers and restrictions on the use of AI, especially when it comes to digital surveillance, weapons applications, personal likeness protection, and job automation.
Do y’all feel it? Teachers and parents want Chromebooks out of elementary classrooms. Middle schoolers are speaking out against iReady. College students are booing AI. Human connection is making a comeback.
To be clear, I don’t just hate GenAI. I also hate golf, war, monoculture farming, clear-cutting forests, and building on floodplains. I love biodiversity, wildlife conservation, regenerative forestry, soil restoration, sustainable farming, and economic degrowth.
Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.
