📢"If you design and run a disability system that predictably harms people, contradicts your own rules, and treats disabled people as a budget lever—not as rights-holders—you will, eventually, be forced to answer for it."

Policy by Punishment: Alberta’s Road to a Lawsuit
Why we need to pay attention to what just happened in Nova Scotia because what is happening here in Alberta is discriminatory, involves coercion, and abuses the disabled for revenue.

I really like Bernie Sanders’ elder statesman era.
Unlike too many older politicians who cling to power and perpetuate an outdated political culture, Bernie is actively mentoring the next generation of progressive leaders before he retires.
It’s how it should be.
And it’s working.

“Why would a prominent venture capitalist [Peter Thiel ally Marc Andreessen] bristle at a pope calling for basic ethics? Because Pope Leo XIV may be the one authority on earth that Big Tech cannot control.” 1/
A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.
The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.
It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.

Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.
