"Quadcopters were emitting baby sounds, playing sounds of screaming women."
Palestinians in Gaza say Israel has been using small quadcopter drones, equipped with loudspeakers, to lure them out of their homes and then shoot them. #GazaCrimes
Both of our senators in Colorado today decided to side with war and genocide over peace and life, but I'm not sure that "decide" is even the right word. Many people called and wrote to convince them to support Senator Sanders' joint resolutions of disapproval that would have blocked shipments of offensive military weapons to Israel.
The problem is that our senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet aren't really the ones making the decision. That power rests with their relevant donors, who in this case are AIPAC, the Israel lobby and U.S. technology manufacturers.
Hickenlooper has received $160,000 from J Street, a Zionist advocacy group, along with hundreds of thousands of dollars from tech companies like Apple, Google and Microsoft, which have all provided technologies deployed in Israel's genocide of Gaza. His total take from the pro-Israel lobby appears to be roughly $272,000, although that's likely an undercount.
Michael Bennet also has taken tons of cash from these sources, with TrackAIPAC stating he's received more than $460,000 from the pro-Israel lobby. From 2019-2024, AIPAC has been his top donor.
What this means is they just don't work for us. They don't. They don't listen to what we say when we call or write, because we don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to give them. They listen to AIPAC, they listen to Microsoft and Apple, and then they welcome war criminals with open arms against the will of their constituents.
Both of these men should be deeply ashamed of their votes today, and they should know that Colorado was watching, and won't be supporting them when they come up for re-election in the next several years. We will fight against them and support other candidates because there is no other message that seems to get through to these corrupt genocidal Democrats who regularly express explicit loyalty to a foreign government. #copolitics
If people tell you gen AI is a tool rather than a replacement for human creativity, show them this new data from Harvard Business Review:
- ChatGPT reduced writing jobs by 30% and coding jobs by 20%
- AI image generators reduced image creation jobs by 17%
- These numbers are not rebounding
- The effect is bigger and faster than with other forms of automation
It’s self-evident that generative AI competes with the work it’s trained on, and the people behind that work. But there is now a growing body of evidence to support this.

We are aware of the effects his fascist, racist, & misogynist policies will have on all our communities.
But we stand ready; always committed to the liberation of our people & land.
We are ready to continue the struggle for liberation until we are all free in the U.S. & abroad.
we are grieving the displacement of nearly 2 million Palestinians; we are grieving the destruction of every cultural and educational institution in Gaza; we are grieving the killing of our teachers, doctors, cultural workers, first aid workers, healers, caretakers, & loved ones.
We are NOT grieving an election in a system that was never meant to protect or serve us. We are not grieving the loss of a party that for nearly 400 days, and historically, has aided and abetted the Zionist regime to enact a genocide on our people.
