The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

We can all be doing this. We can all be forming community groups. We can all learn how to protect each other. This regime wants to tear us apart and crush our shared values. We won’t let them. We will build while they break, and soon enough, we’ll be so organized, they won’t be able to stop us.

Hard, fast rule from a veteran police reporter: Excepting anyone engaged in infiltrating a criminal conspiracy in an undercover capacity, any law officer who hides his identity from the public is a shitheel is doing vile shit and is, in fact, actively destroying the credibility of law enforcement.

Refusing to fund SNAP is ableism.
Cutting Medicaid is ableism.
Terminating ACA subsidies is ableism.
Slashing affordable housing is ableism.
This regime has a very clear eugenics agenda.
They’re targeting services they know disabled people rely on to survive.
We are not expendable.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

The tickets are almost always closed as basically: they’re working on stuff, they need to be there.
But do they? Why not block one of the 2 general traffic lanes instead?
If parking in the bikelane is actually needed, set up a detour (can just be cones) to keep safe space for bikes/scooters!

If you like the current trajectory of the country, look to the center. It’s likely any Dem will win this year.
But business as usual has failed.
This moment needs big swings:
- Massive taxes on the rich
- Antitrust overhaul
- Anti-corruption probes
- Medicare-for-all
- Voting rights overhaul

My eternal pet peeve with the world right now: Front end height is the largest determinant of pedestrian death by a significant factor. These things kill people for no reason.
There is no magic thing you can do with modern vehicles, that we weren't doing in smaller vehicles in the 90s. Nothing.

Reading it is emotional. A tool of fascism is to make you feel alone, like they’ve won. This book is an antidote.

Could it be…a passive aggressive attempt to warn people against airing any conflicts or disagreements?

Despite the "family-friendly" designation of this event, it's taking place over dinner/bedtime for elementary and younger kids, and doesn't provide childcare.
So what exactly makes it family friendly?
