Never stop resisting. Do not comply in advance. Take a step back if you need to so that you can return ready to fight - but make sure you return.
I’m not revealing any great secrets here when I state that they WANT you to feel defeated. They want you to throw in the towel and just let them do whatever they like without resistance. If you’re tired, then rest, but don’t just lay down and die.
"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares."

"The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares."

"Republicans aren't going to let us have elections, so who cares."

I'm blocking these people on sight now.

Doomerist defeatism isn't helping anyone here. Log off and touch grass.

As someone who has worked professionally with LLMs and who has an advanced degree: This is utter nonsense
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers.

They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.

I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
