Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Less complaining about how big rallies don't do anything, more brainstorming about how to activate their attendees to get involved with targeted campaigns, direct action, and mutual aid.

People who are circulating videos of anti-Hamas protests, like some sort of gotcha: were you not listening when we told you that Palestinian approval of Hamas was at a low prior to Oct 7? Palestinians have as diverse of a political life as anyone else - now stop bombing them so they can live!

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process.
Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.

SCHUMER just now: "While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.
Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Oh please please i am begging, don't use generative AI for any reason if you can avoid it.
It's being marketed as a quick time-saver, but it's messy, inaccurate, it is putting entire industries of people out of work, and the environmental impacts (energy and water usage) are huge and debilitating.

worth noting that trump has already (1) used military assets to physically deport people, (2) asked for a review to determine if the military should patrol the border, and (3) ordered the creation of a military-run concentration camp. Only piece missing is military being used to arrest or detain

It takes until a Palestinian politician quoted in the 20th paragraph of this story before this "remarkable proposal" is accurately described as ethnic cleansing
President Donald Trump indicated that he had spoken with the king of Jordan about potentially building housing and moving more than 1 million Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries, a remarkable proposal from a sitting US president: cnn.it/3WACxIK

“Meta has claimed that they used publicly available material that was legally accessible under fair use doctrine,” but recently unsealed court documents disagree.
It sure looks like Meta stole a lot of books to build its AI.
It’s a grim week for Meta. The company formerly known as Facebook, and before that Facemash, “designed to evaluate the attractiveness of female Harvard students,” now encompasses Facebo…

i will never let men off the hook for making misogynist art because david lynch, an old cornpone white guy from montana, was able to make one of the only television shows that took violence against women seriously and, in fact, framed child sexual abuse as a legitimately apocalpytic evil

The cycle with everything now is sorrow then rage then ambivalence, and that's just the way the crooks like it, because they have empty homilies for the sorrow, cops for the rage, and the ambivalence is a piece of cake, but there's this new stage now too that is "what if this could be a parlay?"

It takes until the *tenth paragraph* in this piece to introduce the phrase “thousands of children may die”
RFK Jr. wants to tackle chronic disease. Despite controversial views on vaccines, his focus on healthy food and taking on special interests may find broad support — and face political headwinds.
