Police in Delhi are responding to peaceful protests with seemingly unnecessary or excessive force & have wrongfully detained thousands of people. The Modi government should stop throwing protesters in jail & instead engage with them on the right to vote & fair elections. www.hrw.org/news/2026/10...
Absolutely disgusting. Even objectivists shouldn't want this. Robbing your workers and the government is looting. Pay workers according to their value, not what you can force them to accept.
The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Hasan Piker isn't part of the Abdul El-Sayed campaign. Lorenzo Sewell is a member of the Mike Rogers campaign. And he's a proper extremist and bigot who the media isn't covering. I brought receipts in the Guardian today: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Will the rushed helipad project last longer than a 🥬 before it needs repairs? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
This needs to get much more attention. Just like humans, when you put too much pressure to "get the job done"-- it will use any means necessary even if they are illegal or risky. spectrum.ieee.org/ai-agents-sa...

RFK Jr. was told to tone down his anti-vaccine rhetoric ahead of the midterms, but guess that doesn’t extend to censorship. A COVID vaccine study showing reduced hospitalizations, slated for MMWR publication, was stopped by Dr Jay. 💚 to those who spoke out about this. Science won't be silenced.
Let's not forget that this is the guy replacing Noem. He's not going to deescalate anything. youtu.be/FLjblX0oguo?...

The global reproductive rights organization Ipas will be receiving "multi millions" from TED's Audacious Project. This is the first time the project has funded an organization that works specifically in abortion access and care since the initiative was developed in 2018.
Yes, exactly. A great walk though the project to protect the powerful that started with the Nixon pardon. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
The people of Minnesota have issued a call that is being answered by every state that ICE tries to oppress. The same call that the people of Massachusetts once issued to all the colonies. The call that the people of Alabama made for freedom. Maine is answering the call. www.wmtw.com/article/port...

ICE operates without accountability. More funding is a blank check to continue the disastrous and deadly actions we've seen in Minnesota, including reported violence against people with disabilities. Join us in telling the Senate: no more tax dollars for ICE and CBP! act.nilc.org/page/93101

Another ruling just yesterday in Minnesota: A federal judge calls it "particularly craven" that ICE transfered "a nursing refugee mother" out of state. Ta Eh Doh Lah was admitted as a refugee from Myanmar in 2024, has no criminal history and a 5-month-old. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The DHS $64.4 billion bill passed, with seven Democrats voting in its favor. They were Representatives Henry Cuellar (Texas), Tom Suozzi (New York), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Laura Gillen (New York), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington), Jared Golden (Maine), and Don Davis (North Carolina).
“In apparent blissful ignorance of the country’s ICE-induced bedlam, several House Democrats voted alongside nearly every Republican member to give more money to the immigration agency.” newrepublic.com/post/205604/...

When something as odious as this gets said, you can't wait for the chair to recognize you. You can't sit passively and let it go unchallenged. Why didn't the Democrats in the committee shout "Hear, hear!" and pound the table in solidarity?
Wow -- Fanone coughs "go fuck yourself" to Trey Nehls as Nehls blames Capitol Police leadership for January 6
