Better than the National Guard being deployed or getting felony charges like @katmabu.bsky.social
I wish we had more strategic protestors like our civil rights leaders in the 1960s, but people nowadays can’t even read a book.

You’re not used to having your lies challenged, I guess.

The state police didn’t aid ICE.

Never trust toddlers who only scream at people instead of help them. Because even if they like you now for the things you do, if you do ANYTHING they disagree with, they’ll stab you in the back. They’re reactionary and don’t understand strategy and the fact that there are sometimes no good options.

You won’t even answer a simple question. If I were a politician, I wouldn’t try to appeal to people like you who are deeply unhappy no matter what, because there’s no loyalty or trust, or payoff.
You’re an irrational actor just like a Trump supporter.

How was your reaction to the transit bill being passed to reform public transit?

Consider: the sentiment may be an attempt to promote disunity among the republican base, and not to promote unity among the democratic base (because that’s proven to be almost impossible).

I think ruthlessness is needed, but from a place of moral justice, not cruelty IMO. It would be a lot more satisfying and sustainable too! But it would require being openly anti-corruption, which is a big ask for the Democratic Party.

The last civil rights legislation passed in the United States was the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. We should study how this law was passed for guidance on how to move forward.

I understand where you’re coming from. I think this is not sustainable thinking because it’s inauthentic, unless someone really is cruel, which is not the answer either. We need a positive vision of what we think the country should be, which is based in values. That’s the only path IMO.

We really haven’t, though. We’ve had a ruling caucus of Machiavellian democrats who think they’re smarter than their voters with an iron grip on the party. They need to let go and bring democracy back to the Democratic Party.

I think he’s capable of doing the right thing, and I think he’d be even stronger if he learns the power of governing from a moral place of values. But if he doesn’t change and becomes wishy washy, it’s in my interests to make being anti-trans cost a lot of political capital to protect the community

I see what you’re saying, but I’m trans and my freedom is on the line, so I have to think differently about the situation. People like me can still potentially lose even in a democratic administration. So I’m trying my best to constructively help the situation for myself and people I care about.

(5/5) AI only feels inevitable because we cooperate. Stop being clean data. Be weird. Be inconsistent. Train the machines badly and support human creativity loudly. Data is power.

(4/5) And we can flip it: reward what we want to see. Compliment creativity. Praise human-made, artistic ads. Ignore soulless AI slop. If metrics drive decisions, then collective feedback can steer culture away from automation.

(3/5) Bad data weakens systems. Manipulated data exposes how fragile “smart” algorithms are. If AI can be confused by everyday users being unpredictable, maybe it shouldn’t be trusted to model human behavior at scale.

(2/5) Tech companies assume our data is honest. What happens if we give it bad inputs? Like, what if I made them think I was rich instead of poor (sneaking into their rich target market) and then mess up their collected data with nonsense?
