With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

It's not how friendly Trump was to Mamdani. It's how hostile the leading Dems have been to Mamdani.

They are so funny. Our neighbors are being stuffed into unmarked vans, and they’re all like let’s vote against a term we probably can’t define instead.
The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The rise of AI-as-everything and the rise of violent-extremism-as-politics are two sides of the same coin, and not because of any actual intersection between the people making AI and the people doing extremist politics—they are just the same abdication of doing the work to have an actual society.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

What tonight means for abortion access in the last Southern state where it's fully legal cannot be overstated.
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

If you're going to think about AI at all, think about it like a normal product.
Companies are *still* doing digital transformation, adopting Agile, migrating to the cloud, and all that other shit that took off 10-20 years ago.
The window didn't close on any of it.
