Tucson SentinelMigrant deaths climbed with Arizona's temperatures in July; overall numbers still low https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/090423_desert_deaths/migrant-deaths-climbed-with-arizonas-temperatures-july-overall-numbers-still-low/
Migrant deaths in the Arizona desert spiked in July, when the remains of 42 undocumented individuals were found, the most for that month in more than a decade, though 2023 does not appear to be on pace to be a record year.

Gabriel AranaFor an outsider, the Confederate cult in Texas is very shocking. My ancestors were racist, too. Let’s not celebrate them. https://www.texasobserver.org/chinese-immigrants-confederate-monuments-racism-history/ @TexasObserver
Aaron@anitavondannen @StillIRise1963 Folks living through our modern slip into fascism should keep this in mind when they decide whether to be complicit out of fear. We have to stand up to them, or we will pay with pieces of our souls.
Paris MarxIn 2014, Ursula Le Guin warned that corporate power wanted to stop us from even imagining freedom as life got even harder.
Nearly a decade later, people are struggling and the tech industry seems intent on using generative AI to further replace art with cheap commodities churned out with AI tools. It’s our responsibility to stop them.

Body Language 101: Those who routinely (esp. publicly) encroach into another person's personal space (and further, into their intimate space), *without consent* is a signal of their manipulation, narcissism, and objectification.
A person who displays this behavior in public, tends to do it much more in private.
Although not everyone who does this has violent tendencies, those who are violent display such behavior often.
Here, Ramaswamy encroaches into Nikki Haley's personal/intimate space.
Jeff JohnsonMastodon never requests my phone number.
Mastodon never requests my birthday.
Mastodon never requests my government ID card.
Mastodon never requests a selfie.
Mastodon is not greedy for personal information.
The business model of corporate-run social networks is to amass your personal information. To hell with them all.
dugglebuttOkay. I’ve been arguing this for a million years.
WHY must we all have to enter our City and State if we also have to enter our ZIP Code? The Zip code already tells them your city and state.
That’s the entire point. What are we doing here?
Zhi Zhu 🕸️This is one reason why the #GOP wants to ban books. They do not want Americans to experience what Sagan refers to as "binding people together who never knew each other".
The GOP wants Americans to feel isolated and fearful of anyone "other" than themselves. It's much easier to exploit people so full of fear that they can't think straight. People who are calm and feel secure are much harder to manipulate, because they can take the time to think things through.
