A hand holding an 8x10 print with a quote from Dan Sinker that says ‘write it down. I mean that literally. Get a pen, get a notebook, use your hands. There’s something visceral about using your hands. And nobody can delete ink on paper with a keystroke. Write it down.’

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

There’s been 10+yrs of debunking the “ironic nazi” double game popular on the far right. There is no such thing as “just trolling” when conveying nazi beliefs, symbols, or gestures. All there is is what can be observed. permitting this effectively puts no limits on public displays of nazi propaganda

Trump enrages cops by extending privilege to indulge in lawless violence with impunity to non-cops

The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the country, just released a statement rescinding their endorsement of President Trump due to his pardoning of Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
Police union that endorsed Trump condemns Jan 6 pardons—"Dangerous message"
The Fraternal Order of Police union said those who assaulted officers during the 2021 Capitol riot should serve their full sentences.

happy MLK day everyone. a quote that’s been stuck in my brain heavy over the past few years
from MLK: 2. “We have more from the era of civil rights to the era of human rights,, an era where we are called upon to raise certain basic questions about the whole society. We have been in a reform movement… But after Selma and the voting rights bill, we moved into a new era, which must be the era of revolution. We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power…this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.” — Report to SCLC Staff (May 1967)

People used to spend their entire careers — decades of skill — to copy books by hand to preserve knowledge. Now people are too lazy to read Sparknotes.

Thinking is a skill! That’s effort plus talent multiplied by time. No effort and no time equals no skill.

So deeply not kidding when I say that the current paradigm of "Gen AI" is doing deep, lasting harm to our ability to make knowledge, meaning, & truth w/ each other.

Like… it's really fucking us up & if we don't stop it soon we're gonna see a kind of negative chaos frankly unimaginable to most ppl 👍🏾
screenshot of a Tumblr post from user ecofear yelling "what is HAPPENING" in response to a screenshot of a quotetweet from user @Ovichknox reading "this is so scary to me. i recommended a book to a friend recently and she came back to me a day later saying it was really good and i asked if she finished it already and she said "yeah i got chatgpt to summarise each chapter into 3 paragraphs to it was easy to read" which is replying to a tweet from @alz_zyd reading "Personally, I read a bunch of classics in high register in college. I guess it was fun. I recently ChatGPT'd Aristotle into readable English, finished it around 5x as fast as a translation, and felt l got the main gist of things. idk does the pain incurred…" Followed by a a reblog from tumblr use moonglade-poetess reading "Hey guys, with so much love, and as someone with an actual English degree: Please just use Sparknotes if you're going to do this. I get it. I do. But chatgpt or other genAl shit doesn't actually know what's important for you to know, and in some cases it might fully make shit up. Use sparknotes. Failing that, talk to someone who did read it. I'm begging.

FOLKS: The Senate is voting on the Laken Riley Act today. Make no mistake, it's a racial profiling bill.

DEMAND YOUR SENATORS VOTE NO.

Can we get 1,000 fast reposts and replies using the hashtag #NoRacialProfilingLaws to get it trending on Bluesky?

Please and thank you! 🙏💪

no but for real, what would happen if you walked into a jamba juice or a hooters and started calling everyone n-words and f-words and all other sorts of bigoted nonsense?
