I grew up with conservatives telling me the govt would roll the military through our cities, ignoring constitutional rights and we need to be ready to fight them. Now that a conservative government is doing that those same people are silent.

If this happened to any "centrist" Dems, we would hear about it for generations. He would be anointed the Second Coming of Clinton. His James Carville would be booking media hits 50 years from now.
With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

I wrote another piece about unique local theater, this time with an alternative housing program doing theater for social awareness and advocacy. I'm very proud of this one and would love for you to read it.

"To counter the forces of alienation and animosity that seek to divide us, we must build a culture of care. By creating as much safety and justice as we can, wherever we are, we will forge bonds that will sustain us in moments of collective resistance and refusal."
The Anti-Empathy Revolution of Elon Musk
Musk views empathy as a “bug” that threatens his political agenda. This framing is instructive.

Trying to post more here, it's hard to break old habits. I've been at Magic Con Chicago this weekend. It's a blast. Played tons of games, met nice people, cracked packs, met artists, got cards signed, saw some cool shows live, and even got a new tattoo. Expensive weekend but 10/10 would do again.

When Democrats basically claim they can only exercise political power under optimal conditions, they’re admitting they’re useless since the U.S. political system is set up to almost always be difficult/less than optimal. That’s why big political achievements/disruptions require struggle and resolve.

Repeat after me: "All billionaires only care about enriching themselves and advancing their own investing and interest and will burn the planet down and make everyone a mindless drone if it makes them a buck." Otherwise known as: There ae no good billionaires. They are dragging humanity down.
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

Maybe eliminating the need for student loans and making it easier for anyone to have access to advanced education might be a good idea.

It would certainly be cheaper than building all this AI nonsense. Better for the environment too.

For people that work in tech *only*.

An important clarification on what federal employees mean when they say "probationary period."

In tech, we're very reluctant to promote an engineer from say, level 5 to level 6, until we have enough time to know that the level 6 performance is sustainable.

Reading James Baldwin while rights of people in my country are being taken away by Christian Nationalists and right white fascists I'm reminded for many communities in America that's always been the case.
