Yesterday, millions marched against fascism. Now our elected leaders need to take action to confront Trump’s assault on Democratic cities and states.
In The Guardian today, I outline a strategy: “fiscal disobedience” as one part of an “anti-fascist federalism.”

It’s all about alienation.
My theory about gAI is that it is about ensuring that eventually it will spread so much so that human beings will never actually interact with each other without "AI" interfaces that technofascists will control.
Absolute and utter atomization and isolation.
And absolute control over all of us.

The ceo of I think it was Bumble was suggesting that two AIs would meet up first and if they worked things out they would introduce their humans to each other.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.
The legacy of the Roberts court.

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk.
The first offers were from
Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

I trust my immune system too, but it thinks pollen and cardamom are trying to kill me, so I’ll be giving it some directions, okay?

If you’ve ever called the (armed) police on someone committing a crime, or voted to increase police funding—-
then yes, you believe in the threat of lethal violence to deal with others.

Fun fact, despite what the lower 48 may think, only about 2.6% of Alaskan workers are in the oil & gas sector, per state labor stats. Only “Information” and “Wholesale” sectors have fewer. Local, state, and federal government employees outnumber oil & has 10:1. Oil is dead

As you ask “who’s gonna harvest crops?” Remember that people are being thrown in for-profit prisons where the 13th Amendment incentivizes slave labor as a revenue stream.

Anyway, when all of this started, I kept saying that you have to always look at these new technologies through the contempt that the tech world has for labor, and their campaign to destroy anything they can get their hands on for a bit more money. Human deskilling, not flourishing, is their goal.
