Stop using AI!!!!! It is poisoning black communities, speeding up climate change, flooding the internet with misinformation, being used to make porn of people who don't consent including children and is used to falsify footage. Corpos are using it to not pay humans. It unethical and built on theft!!

Big Money turning to fascism not because they needed protection from socialism but because they were bored and poisoned their brains with social media is the story of this century I think

Here’s part 1 of this week’s Better Offline. I walk you through a radical new idea: make fun of CEOs, tear down their legacies and push back on their empty promises.

A great listen if you hate Sam Altman.

it's important to understand that they want to threaten the very essence of public education. the conservative plan - the plot to enslave america - requires them to destroy public education and replace it with private academies for the rich, religious instruction and prison-like schools for the rest
Justice Sotomayor: "Today's ruling threatens the very essence of public education."

"The reverberations of the Court's error will be felt, I fear, for generations. Unable to condone that grave misjudgment, I dissent."

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"

The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

Newsom and ambitious people like him want Americans to wait this out so that the power structure *as it currently exists* will be intact for them to grab when things “go back to normal.” Pushing back on power now would mean less power for them when it’s their turn. Real change is not their goal.
The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Gavin had 48 hours to think about what he was gonna do about this situation and what he's landed on is "Daddy only hits you because you cry." Inspiring!

Creating something should never be about seeking the approval of others. It's nice when it happens, but putting something in the all consuming void should be about passion. I've been writing weird little things most of my life. Now I'm just throwing it into the burning tire fire that's the Internet.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored

- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored

- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored
