"I refuse." This is it. There's no reason we should accept a narrative of an already settled future which marginalizes humans and individual agency. No one wants this. No one asked for it.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?
Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Apparently Joe & Jill will ride with Trump & Melania to the Capitol tomorrow.
Either Trump is a threat to democracy, & guilty of an insurrection, or not.
I believe he is.
Biden claimed to believe he is, too. But Biden & many top Dems didn't actually believe it.
Otherwise, how to explain this?

Bump stocks have no purpose outside of mass shootings, but the Republicans on the Supreme Court believe there's a fundamental right to commit mass shootings, and now we all have to live with that while they party on billionaire's yachts and ranches.
This is the Thomas opinion: a parsing of firing mechanics to assess of whether a semiautomatic rifle with bump stock meets the federal definition of "machine gun"

In Project A119 (1958) the Air Force proposed detonating a nuclear bomb on the moon in a way that would be visible to the naked eye, for the explicit reason that it would boost Americans' morale in the wake of the Soviet success launching Sputnik.
Hey you guys seem sad, what if we nuke the moon.
