Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The United States wants the unilateral authority to decide who should be able to use certain technologies.
In a new piece, I talk about everything from Iran to Andor to discuss how US tech supremacy gives it power over others that it’s working hard to maintain — to all of our detriment.

Why should the US decide who can have certain tech?

Fun fact to remember: the actual Luddites weren’t *ignorant*. They weren’t against all technology.
They were skilled craftspeople - expert weavers - who recognized the machine looms as a lower-quality output than what they could make, and who rebelled against their replacement with soulless slop.

You become an EASY TARGET for police violence.
The line of cops with batons and shields, horses, and vehicles will mow right over you while you're scrambling to get to your feet.
They will beat you and break your bones.

I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good.

Are you a scientist and not sure what to do to help with all the awfulness all around us? Inspired by Vietnam era activism, @standupforscience.bsky.social is hosting a series of "teach ins," in which scientists share a bit about their area of expertise and why it's important with the public. 🧪🦑🌎
