Silicon Valley isn’t building “friendly AI” — it’s running a neo‑colonial empire: harvesting data, exploiting Global South labor, burning energy, and worshipping cult‑like CEOs. AI is not magic, it’s capitalism 2.0. #EmpireOfAI #TechColonialism

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

Capital flows to the energy sector are set to rise in 2025 to USD 3.3 trillion.
Around USD 2.2 trillion is going collectively to renewables, nuclear, grids, storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency and electrification, twice as much as the USD 1.1 trillion going to oil, natural gas and coal.

The revolution may not be televised but it will be recorded and sent to the world.
Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."
