I can’t stop thinking about Nurul Shah Alam, the disabled refugee who died after Border Patrol left him outside in the cold with no way to contact friends or family.

It took five days for him to die.

He was blind and didn’t speak English.

They took the pole he was using as a cane.

This man survived an actual genocide only to be killed by the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump regime.

Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.

It was all preventable.

They could have taken him home.

They could have called his family.

They could have refused to leave him for dead.

Say his name. Don’t ever forget what they did.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold

"They just left him."

AI corporations can't get your money, because most people don't want to pay for that. And they need a lot of money to justify their investment.

So they're going after government contracts, with their powerful network of lobbyists. That way, your government can give them your money anyway. To pay for that, they will very likely cut in public services.

If you don't want that to happen, email or call your government representatives.

Zohran Mamdani had +38 approval upon his election. In under 2 months he’s:
•Secured universal childcare
•Paid New Yorkers $30/hour & survived a blizzard without disruption
•Remained wholly honest about the massive budget crisis NYC faces
•Demanded Hochul tax billionaires instead of working people
•Got Trump to commit $12B to NYC for affordable housing, and
•Did it ALL without corporate money

His approval is now +48.

Almost like working people love public servants who fight for working people.🤯

OpenAI replacing Anthropic after they refused to allow the department of defense to use Claude for two things:

- Autonomous AI weapons (drones)
- Mass surveilance

The Grift is systemic, and metastasizing towards some very dark realities

The meaninglessness void of extreme wealth & power as a vehicle for human happiness breaks peoples brains. Its endemic at the top of society

They all have dragon sickness

one of my favorite things on fedi is seeing an enormous infodump that is almost totally incomprehensible to me, where someone is just pouring out their heart about a topic that they love, in some gigantic thread of intense nerdery. sometimes I see people post self-consciously as if they feel like they shouldn't be filling up people's timelines with their special interest but I just want to say as a blanket statement, go for it. even if I can't quite understand the facts, the energy is sublime
Coninuing my rapid disillusionment & existential crisis this weekend, but it feels nice to know there are social media apps that arent actively trying to hijack my psychology 😎👍
