genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.
"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

I am baffled about using these things to generate *ideas* on many levels, but primarily bc idea generation is the cheap, easy, & funtage of the process? Ideas are a dime for 1000, what do they mean they can't even come up w an idea?
Use the prompts for YOURSELF not the planet poisoning thiefbox?!?!

Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax.
Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.
And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.

I'm sure "discourse" around them will contain some particularly vile rhetoric. So make sure you're prioritizing your mental health, ok?
We can get through this, and these awful men will see justice.
But do not destroy your mental health just trying to stay on top of the news.

Please keep your defences up today and tomorrow, especially around the release of the Epstein files.

Trump has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a boon for big corporations.
His Big Ugly Bill, which slashed Medicaid and SNAP, also gave corporations $16B in new depreciation tax breaks this year.
A windfall for the wealthy at your expense.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.

The law requires Trump to continue to fund SNAP.
Instead, he's trying to steal food from the mouths of hungry children.

Millions will go hungry because Trump and Republicans won't use available funds to keep SNAP running during the shutdown.
And they won't end the shutdown because they refuse to extend ACA subsidies that will keep insurance premiums from doubling for millions.
Policy choices.

The first two things that come to mind are:
1.) Organize shared pantries in your community. Community fridges and food drop off points are beautiful acts of community building for those in need.
2.) Check in on friends who have relied on SNAP to see what staples they might need.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Just yesterday Trump promised to spend a record $1 trillion on the military — roughly half of which will go to private defense contractors that price-gouge the government.
Remember this when Trump or Republicans talk about "sacrifices" that need to be made during a shutdown.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
