The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.
He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.

If you canceled Disney+ because of Kimmel or boycotted Target or whatever, also please vote in your local elections, where you can make direct, clear change in your community.
PLEASE vote in local elections–mayors (of small towns, even), board members, etc. They have a direct effect on your life AND are currently the last line of defense against destructive federal policies. In many places so few people vote for city council etc. that your 1 vote can change the result

I hate it here.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Kids in foster care being sex trafficked is a real and big problem. A related one is foster kids being used as slave labor. Good foster parents do important work. Bad ones, though…
Also: it’s nice to see NCMEC show up on the right side of an issue; happens all too infrequently these days.

Project 2025 calls for the removal of kids from poor single parent households to be placed with “proper” parents.
With SNAP being cut, the judgement on low income families is only increasing.
Meanwhile 1,790 kids went missing from Georgia foster care. Many of them were likely sex trafficked

They’re going to mass arrest them and put the homeless into camps to work for free labor
Capitalism requires a permanent underclass. There arent enough prisons to supplement the cheap labor we are losing by isolating our allies & deporting immigrants
This exploitation & violence will be homegrown

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
