Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

Israel killed 9 paramedics in roughly 72 hours. Let that sink in. These are some of their faces. According to Lebanon’s latest health sector figures, now updated after the killing of additional paramedics in the last 48 hours: • 125 healthcare workers killed • 273 wounded • 149 attacks on the healthcare sector • 142 ambulances targeted • 32 medical centres destroyed • 16 hospitals forced out of service • 221 ambulance crews attacked Lebanon’s emergency sector is not collapsing accidentally. It is being systematically dismantled. Israel is committing war crimes against Lebanon’s medical services.

I received word that some liberal nonprofits and political consultants are trying to work with establishment Democrats on a political strategy to expand surveillance, militarized policing, immigration detention, and overall imprisonment with re-branded language. Lots of words like "community" thrown in there. This would be a catastrophic moral failure, but also an unbelievable strategic error given how unpopular repression is.  Those of us who want to see a more equal, more just, more safe society must do everything in our power to call thee people out and stop them, and we will.

@ZaidJilani @MarxistBunch And there were reports of rape by dogs under the orders of the fascist generals regime in Argentina back in the 1970s. This all is nothing new. Believe it or not.

Walmart is selling you an unprofitable TV that watches everything you do and reports it back to their $6.4 billion advertising machine. And the TV literally won't turn on until you give them permission. This is one of the most sophisticated consumer surveillance operations in history and 150 million people walk into their stores every single week with no idea it's happening. Here's the full story: In December 2024, Walmart bought Vizio for $2.3 billion. Everyone assumed it was about selling more TVs. But it had nothing to do with TVs. Vizio's TV hardware business was actually LOSING money, posting a $6.7 million loss in its final quarter as an independent company. The advertising division made $115.8 million in profit that same quarter. Walmart bought 19 million living rooms - not a TV company. In March 2026, Walmart flipped the switch. Every new Vizio TV now requires a mandatory Walmart account before you can access any smart features. No account, no streaming apps. Without signing in, your TV is useless. The moment you create that account, something called Automatic Content Recognition activates. ACR runs silently in the background, taking screenshots of everything displayed on your screen and comparing them against a database to identify exactly what you're watching, second by second, across 700 TV networks and over 100 streaming apps. It knows what you watched, when you watched it, how long you watched it, and what you did afterward. Now here's the part that makes this genuinely unprecedented in the history of retail: Walmart ALREADY knows what 150 million Americans buy every week. They know your grocery habits, your clothing preferences, your pharmacy purchases, your financial behavior through Walmart Pay, and your location data from the app. But what they couldn't see was the 4 to 6 hours a day Americans spend staring at their television screens. By connecting your Walmart account to your Vizio TV, they've closed that loop. They can now prove that you saw a 30 second ad for gardening soil Sunday night and bought that exact brand at Walmart Monday morning. L'Oréal is already signed on as a launch partner for this kind of targeting. The math on this is just insane: Walmart Connect, their advertising arm, generated $6.4 billion last year with 46% year-over-year growth. Advertising runs at 70 to 90% profit margins compared to traditional retail's 3 to 4%. Their CFO admitted that ads and membership fees already account for one-third of Walmart's total operating income. The advertising business is now more important to Walmart's bottom line than entire product categories in their stores. And they're just getting started. Analysts calculated that Walmart's ad revenue currently represents only 1% of total sales. Amazon's ad business runs at 8% of sales. The gap between where Walmart is and where Amazon is represents roughly $50 billion in untapped advertising revenue. The Vizio deal is the bridge to get there. This is WHY they're selling certain TVs at a loss. When you break down the $2.3 billion acquisition across 19 million households, Walmart paid $121 per living room. A lifetime of behavioral viewing data from a household that also shops at Walmart is worth infinitely more than that. The cheap TV is a trojan horse. Vizio has already been fined $2.2 million by the FTC for secretly collecting viewing data on 11 million TVs without consent. The Texas Attorney General sued them for "spying on Texans." Walmart bought them anyway and made the surveillance MANDATORY. The company that built its empire promising everyday low prices is becoming the most powerful advertising platform in the world, and the TV in your living room is the entry point. What do you think?

Don’t like people wearing watermelon pins at your shitty medical conference? Don’t care. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” makes you feel scared? Don’t care. Seeing Palestinian flags on university campuses upsets you? Don’t care. A student calling Israel an apartheid state hurts your little feelings? Don’t care. A doctor speaking publicly about Palestinian children being massacred feels “divisive” to you? Fuck you. People refusing to condemn Palestinian resistance makes you uneasy? Don’t care. Hearing the word “genocide” feels inflammatory to you? Don’t care. A keffiyeh in a workplace gives you a panic attack? Don’t care. “Globalise the intifada” sounds genocidal to you? Don’t care. People interrupting politicians feels disrespectful to you? Don’t care. You no longer being able to monopolise victimhood makes you angry? Truly could not care less. What I care about are the Palestinian children being burned alive. The doctors being tortured. The families erased under rubble. The starvation. The concentration camps. The destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and universities and refugee camps and entire civilian infrastructure. But for the nearly last 1,000 days and decades prior, Western institutions have demanded everyone stop and carefully tend to Jewish emotional discomfort instead. Not Palestinian lives. Not Palestinian suffering. Not Palestinian speech. Zionist discomfort. Zionist fragility. Zionist political sensitivity—elevated, enforced, and institutionalised across universities, hospitals, media outlets, professional associations, politicians, donors, and advocacy groups. All working in sync to transform Zionist discomfort into institutional emergency. While Palestinian suffering is rendered invisible. While Palestinian speech is disciplined. While Palestinian humanity is treated as negotiable. That is the function of the Jewish Feelings Industrial Complex. Not safety. Not care. Not protection. Institutionalised Zionist emotional management at scale. Fuck every single institution that constantly weaponizes “Jewish safety,” “Jewish discomfort,” and “Jewish feelings” to justify censorship, repression, career destruction, anti-Palestinian racism, and silence in the face of mass atrocity. If a watermelon pin destabilises you more than the annihilation of Gaza, the problem is not the watermelon pin. The problem is you. -- from "The Anti-Zionist" patreon.com/posts/awww-you…

"If you aren't guilty you can have a trial." Brandy, this is the most expensive sentence you've ever said and you didn't pay a dollar for it. Let me show you what "having a trial" actually means for the people you're so confidently advising. You are twenty-two years old. You are Black. You are from a neighborhood where the public school lost its art program in 2013, its counselors in 2016, and its after-school funding in 2020. You are charged with a drug offense. Your public defender meets you for the first time four days before your hearing. He has 300 other cases. He has reviewed yours for approximately eleven minutes. The prosecutor offers you eighteen months if you plead guilty today. If you go to trial and lose, and the conviction rate for federal criminal trials is 99 percent, Brandy, 99 percent, you are looking at twelve years mandatory minimum. Twelve years versus eighteen months. You have a child. You have a mother who depends on you. Eighteen months is survivable. Twelve years is the destruction of everything you have. You are innocent. You take the plea. This is not a hypothetical. This is the documented, statistical, court-recorded reality of how 97 percent of American convictions happen. And you looked at that and said: well, they could have had a trial.
Brandy@_mind_your_biz

@nxt888 Plea bargin admiting GUILT in exchange for shorter sentence. If you aren't guilty you can have a trial. You seem OBSESSED with America. Kinda weird.

THREAD. Eleven years ago, we brought the first modern constitutional challenge to the idea that a presumed innocent human being can be put in a cage, separated from their family, solely because they lack enough cash to pay money bail.

Israel executed Naef today in Nablus, occupied West Bank. He was not a fighter. He was not on a battlefield. He was on his way back to a hospital where his wife was giving birth. Israel assassinated Naef before he could meet his first child.

En EEUU, en la cadena de rosquillas Krispy Kreme, donde una docena de donuts cuesta 22 dólares, tiran a la basura todas los que no venden y llenan el contenedor con cientos de ellos. Esto es el capitalismo, prefieren tirar masivamente la comida a bajarla de precio, prefieren cerrar la basura con llave y llamar a la policía contra los que buscan en los contenedores en vez de donarlo a los pobres. El sistema de la avaricia y el egoísmo que prefiere verte morir de hambre a rebajar el precio de sus productos unos dólares, no puede sobrevivir si se quiere que la humanidad perdure.
