Relying on promises from a regime that hasn't kept any is quite the decision.....
They've broken countless laws to do when miniscule things. Why would they keep their promise and follow the law?
Why is the party of lies being trusted again

We've been told that Schumer uses Twitter replies to get an idea of what voters want. So we can try to use that angle.
If anyone is still using Twitter, please consider going on Schumer's Twitter page and telling him NOT to cave on long-term ACA subsidies, SNAP benefits or trans rights issues!

New article on CogPGT, "the world’s most powerful genetic predictor of IQ," plus other examples of how influential eugenics has become in recent years. I also explain why I think "IQ" is an utterly meaningless measure of "intelligence." (Ever heard of the "BITCH" test? Lol.) What do you think?
From Trump to TESCREAL, Eugenics Is Everywhere
Most people think eugenics largely vanished after the Nazis' atrocities. But that's not true: eugenics is alive and well, and probably more influential today than ever. (2,200 words.)

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

OpenAI is essentially a social arsonist, developing and releasing tools that hyper scale the most racist, misogynistic, and toxic elements of society, lowering the barriers for all manner of abuse. The so called guardrails make a pinky swear look like an ironclad contract.
