In order to exist and thrive in community, we must be open to being changed by the language used by and for that community. We have to be open to the change and growth others can inspire in us. We have to be open to letting our beliefs be shaped and reshaped by the people around us.

A society built on empire, greed, and gain was always already authoritarian. Was always already controlled from the top down. There has never been "We the People" in the US--because "the people" have never had a voice.

Yes Trump's discourse has ushered in unabashed racism, xenophobia, bigotry, and a hard shift towards explicit authoritarianism, outright fascism. But focusing our protests on one person misses the point. He wasn't the mastermind behind everything that's happening--there is no one mastermind.

When AI generates our vonnegutian foma, we'll truly be living out the history of human stupidity.
I wrote recently about how we (as humans generally) basically want to be lied to by AI, or maybe want to believe the lies.
I think we're fundamentally psychologically unprepared for fake human-like conversation machines.

Trump’s Rants about Harvard Get Darker as He Loses a Big One in Court
As Trump’s attacks on Harvard grow more unhinged amid a serious legal setback, a shrewd observer of MAGA explains why Trump actively wants you to think we’re sliding into lawlessness and terror.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

I can't even cross state lines with my child without her father's consent. But Trump can deport a US citizen with their mother without their father's consent? This is a clear attack against birthright citizenship.
2-year-old U.S. citizen apparently deported 'with no meaningful process,' judge says
The child's mother was being deported and wanted to take the girl, U.S. lawyers said. When the judge asked to speak to her, they were already in the air.
