This is part of the tragedy of a surrender now. It invites more pain and suffering by emboldening the regime. Why should they listen to a weak opposition?
Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

You really do have to be willing to be part of making the thing that you say other people must make or do. That's just basic at this point. [feel free to rage about this on your own timeline not in my mentions]

An interesting first step to robots in the home. You have to be OK with a human remotely looking through the robot’s eyes 👀

It’s a “remote-human” operated robot. Side shift gig of the future: Remote Helper

I'm excited but a bit sad to announce that I've left Bellingcat to start a nonprofit investigative outlet focused on the far-right. We're called Decoherence Media, and we're launching today.
Welcome to Decoherence Media, an independent nonprofit founded by @jennefer.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee that investigates authoritarian and anti-democratic movements using open-source and data-driven methods.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

In fact, I do cackle.
::Insert tongue firmly in cheek::

I read "The Relentless Moon" on audiobook. I think @maryrobinettekowal.com must be the sort of author who sits in her attic, rocking and cackling at the thought of making me bawl my eyes out in my car.

The first two books are SO good but this is BETTER. SO GOOD.
