it would be darkly fucking hysterical if tech billionaires get a quick and painful lesson in "You're only as rich as we say you can be" but it is only happening because the worst fucking person in the world is having a very messy breakup with the second fucking worst person in the world.

‪”We cannot have a system where the average American feels like they have no control over their data, over their agency, over their future economic opportunity” @karenhao.bsky.social breaks down why the rise of unregulated AI companies “amassing economic and political leverage” is so dangerous.

The reason certain people are pushing Dems to get more anti-trans/anti-immigrant/anti-abortion etc. is not because they believe most Dem voters hold those views, it’s because they themselves hold those views and think they are good and right, so no amount of poll data is going to make them shut up

We can build a Democratic Party based in firm principles and led with empathy, but we'll probably have to dismantle the political consultant class to really eradicate the notion that you can feed a few people into the woodchipper if it might be popular and the fascists say that's all they want.

its genuinely incredible that the government has been taken over by vandals, thieves, and bald-faced liars and the media is more or less reporting on them like they're normal heads of state

Shadi Hamid, not exactly a radical leftist, is calling it "genocide" in the Bezos-owned Washington Post. If you haven't started using the term, which at this point is considered factual by mainstream human rights orgs and scholars, it's probably not for a great reason.

it's a coup against the Constitution. A way you can tell that it's that is that the first things they seized were GSA, the treasury's payments system and the US Marshalls service (the door keys, paychecks and building security, respectively, for federal facilities)

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

We went to the USA pavilion at the Osaka World's Fair. I was initially skeptical, but it turned out to be very well done, and even moving at times. But it was clearly designed before Trump's reelection. 1/

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.
