Can someone make it culturally legible that a top Republican voice in the country thinks it’s very fun that he runs a non-consensual porn bot platform?
Are most republicans just unaware of this?

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.
It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

Three things that make the U.S. the envy of the world:
1) Professionalized military with strong norm of civilian control
2) Higher education and cutting-edge scientific research
3) Ability to welcome immigrants and attract the “best and the brightest”
All three are under threat.

Schools are increasingly run like prisons - and edtech is a huge part of that because it enables surveillance and control.
The proof of this is in zero tolerance, in coercive control language that gaslights children and families, in the use of biometrics to pay for food and draconian uniform policy

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).
We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it.
This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government.
This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

Not to get all political on you but actually I do think you should be talking to people you know about this
cool how Project 2025 went viral during the election, we were told Trump disavowed it and wouldn't do it, he got elected and started implementing it immediately and now we're being told "well this is what people voted for"
they very explicitly did not

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

And offshore wind has an incredible capacity factor! Largely negating the whole "well, the wind doesn't always blow" angle.
This should make it plain as day that the actual reason there's a campaign against wind energy is fossil fuel interests.

The fight against offshore wind is one of the most insane things I think I've ever seen. Untapped clean energy just blowing around, out in a useless nowhere.
Trump: There's an energy emergency! We're producing more oil & gas than ever & drillers don't want to drill more. Meanwhile, we're experiencing rapid electricity demand growth. A crisis! So... Let's block the cheapest, fastest way to add new electricity supply to US grids (wind, solar, batteries).🤔🤷♂️

A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season.
These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.

We've agreed that this will henceforth be known in popular discourse and technical literature as the Magic Carpet fallacy. It needs a name on an emergency basis because of the growing threat this specific fallacy poses in American political discourse.
