i bought a 400-page book that is a critical lens on AI (Karen Hao’s ‘Empire of AI’). i was so excited about it, but since i got it i just can’t bring myself to read more horrors. maybe this weekend, the work week is too stressful.

you kicked Sarah Jama out of the NDP for having the same pro-Palestine values as Mamdani. you don't have a whiff of his values.
RESIGN.

Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! What you’ve built goes far beyond New York City. You've captured the imagination of progressives everywhere with a blueprint for how we can win: with hope, with values, and with the belief that politics can be a force for good.

Liberalism is untrustworthy/fickle. We’ve seen too many examples of liberalism giving up on its own “values”
👉🏾 DEI
👉🏾 Black lives
👉🏾 labour solidarity
👉🏾 immigration/building a wall
👉🏾 government cuts
👉🏾 means testing
👉🏾 language of “woke”
👉🏾 ethnic cleansing
👉🏾 police brutality
👉🏾 protests
👉🏾 trans rights

To me, “liberal” has always meant standing up for what’s right, making sure the most vulnerable people feel safe, and doing good things in our communities. Every single day I come onto BlueSky to be told that “liberal” somehow means “evil, weak, and ineffectual.” I am STILL confused.
