if you're into AI "advisors" and find their insights helpful, may I non-ironically recommend seriously considering: tarot

- connection to your subconscious
- therapeutic or confessional as need be
- patterns of meaning
- self-determined takeaways
- no need to google facts afterwards

Conservatives love AI because it's far easier to abuse a population that can't read, can't write, can't think, and can't tell what's real

This is also what Trump's plan for "Freedom Cities" is about. A plot to give federal land to billionaires so they can create democracy-free zones without laws, regulations, or taxes.

A blueprint for a post-democracy world. Expect a big push toward creating these new Fascist Cities...soon.
Trump's pardon of Honduras' drug trafficker president is raising awareness of Prospera, the weird tech-ruled city he helped to create.

Prospera is #NetworkState, a scary cult of tech billionaires who plan to replace nation-states with privatized dystopias.

We are fighting. Your post seems to want Dems to be more like MAGA. You seem to be saying “fight evil with evil.” It’s always a danger that the oppressed becomes the oppressor. We are the peaceful resisters. We are not and will never be MAGA.

Tangential but the fact that Anjali had to add this explanation for her original post is a great case in point about why learning to *read* isn’t just about being being able to sound out words but also contextualize and the diminishment of this skill is part of the literacy crisis
A lot of people are pointing out that this guy is no prince among men and that JPMorgan Chase has done some stuff, and right—that’s what makes it so notable that this guy thinks there will be accountability for this stuff in the future. He believes this is the *strategic* choice. That’s revealing.

A reminder:

This isn’t ideology
This isn’t incompetence
This isn’t business as usual
This isn’t temporary
This isn’t normal
This isn’t ethical
This isn’t legal
This isn’t meant to be popular
This isn’t meant to be good for anyone

This has been a strategic attack against the U.S.

Act accordingly

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

it makes perfect sense that when people have rent money they are able to secure housing
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

It’s a damn shame, really. While the orange clown hogs every headline with his circus act, nobody’s talking about the kids, the future of this country, who can’t even land a job after dropping a house-sized down payment on a degree.

And when the middle class goes, the whole country goes with it.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

So basically, we are a country with every single one of our institutions demonstrably corrupt. The rich, elites, billionaires, politicians, all of them are in a deep informal conspiracy against the American people to enrich themselves.

That's about when you need a real actual revolution, right?

Both parties and the media are getting their instructions from the same informal conspiracy walled garden party of rich elites playing monopoly with our lives for their profit and pleasure. The billionaires are the true enemy, and the media will be their foot soldiers here.
