Being in the US illegally is a civil offence
It’s not a felony. It’s not a criminal offence
So why are so many people being violently rounded up & thrown in camps?
Racism & fascism
The DOJ admitted that only 2.5% of people arrested in Chicago raids had criminal records
Which means 97.5% did NOT

Teenagers are “too young” to make decisions on gender affirming care.
They’re “too young to vote”.
They’re too young to drink.
But they’re not too young to be sex trafficked and raped by Epstein and all his rich pals?
Be serious please.

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)
New on the Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 newsletter: @deccamuldowney.bsky.social and I write about OpenAI's transparent attempt to shift accountability.

OpenAI Tries to Shift Responsibility to Users
OpenAI is trying to shift the blame for bad legal and medical advice from its chatbot away from the company and onto users. We agree that no chatbot should be used for medical or legal advice.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Being good at making money doesn’t mean you’re good at anything else. It definitely doesn’t mean your opinions on anything else are important. It most likely just means you’re ruthless, which is the primary trait of most rich people.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?

also, U.S. corporate journalism is trash and endlessly frames things through the lens of right wing grievance because most outlets are owned by right wing billionaires jockeying for tax cuts, merger approvals, and less corporate oversight
Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is what those 8 Dems just voted for
A return to a time when people died or became disabled because they couldn’t afford care
People are terrified tonight that they will have to start rationing meds
That they will lose their medical insurance
That they will die
Healthcare is a human right!

The largest mass media- NYT, CNN, CBS, etc- are owned by billionaires. They own media not to make money, but to control the information space to be friendly to class interests.
Those outlets will never report positive political outcomes for regular people in any kind of objective framing.

After a week in which Dems exceeded expectations in elections, Trump's popularity continues to tank, the GOP largely abandoned the task of governing (just as Thanksgiving travel approaches), I'm a bit surprised to see many more stories highlighting weakness in the Dem than in the GOP coalition.
This NYT framing is ludicrously overstated. Sure, there are primaries. But if anything, the results showed a lot of Dems that there's a way to unify the factions around anti-Trump and affordability politics (as I try to argue in the piece/thread below).

He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.
