It’s come to me desperately asking for help via a GoFundMe. I have no money for health insurance, rent, or medication. I’m screwed as of November 30th without help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. https://gofund.me/833d4757b

Disgusting

The 16-year-old was dragged away & arrested by #Worcester PD because she kicked the car #ICE was holding her mother in as her mom was taken away. The day earlier, ICE had taken her dad as well.

"She told MassLive that she, along with a crowd of other people, asked ICE to show a #warrant for the #arrest. She said the agents replied, 'We don’t have to show you anything.'"

Fucking corporate consolidation strikes again. Giant shitty publicly-held Rite-Aid buys, dismantles, and destroys a century-old local drugstore chain: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/why-the-new-rite-aid-bankruptcy-could-kill-seattles-bartell-drugs/

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

No surprise that this experiment didn't work out...

A bunch of tech CEOs are talking about being “AI-first”, the latest in a series of CEO fads like “return to office”, “founder mode” and “pivot to full fascism”. This one’s weird, though, because it only makes sense if… none of their workers are great at their jobs. https://www.anildash.com//2025/04/19/ai-first-is-the-new-return-to-office/
