I just discovered this podcast by Nora Kenworthy and Marcus Harrison Green. If you've been interested in my AI reporting or AI in general, I really recommend giving this episode (from August) a listen.
This week, a particularly timely conversation with the brilliant @danmcquillan.bsky.social: on the rise of technofascism, and what all of us can do to resist AI’s overreach. A necessary road map for rejecting the broligarchy and decomputing our way to liberation.🔥

Really wish we didn’t have to say this, but Renee Hopkins’ words for us last week about gun violence ring a whole lot more true today.

This week on In The Meanwhile, Nora & I talk w/ Renée Hopkins of @WAGunResponsib about the grim “normal” of gun violence, and the rare good news: WA has passed real safety laws saving lives while DC stalls on “thoughts & prayers.”

As a parent (and uh, human being) gun violence can feel like one of the most intractable political issues in the US. But this fight is winnable, even under the current admin. This was such a beautiful, promising conversation. The public health approach to gun violence that Renee describes is 🎯🎯.
If you, like us, felt unfettered rage at last week's news of the Minneapolis shooting, we've got you. Renee Hopkins of the Alliance for Gun Responsibility joins us to talk about how WA is defeating gun violence, one small, brave policy win at a time. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

The first time I posted about this distinction was many months ago, it remains important, most "journalists" still refuse to make the distinction:

Trump hasn't removed Lisa Cook, he's pretended to. He lacks the legal authority to fire a fed governor.
Trump posts a letter stating that he is removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook
