It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

Trump wanted soldiers to march like the North Korean military does but instead our soldiers marched like Monty Python Silly Walkers. Intentionally. That is hilarious.

great reminder to all of those Democrats and liberals saying that we need to abandon red states because they are gerrymandered into right wing autocracies where the vote isn’t in their favor instead of accepting that we are gonna have to fight for every American no matter where they are.

One thing that the red-state/blue-state electoral maps hide is that even in places where Trump won by 20 points, two out of every five people wanted someone else. No matter where you are, you are not alone.

Since people were asking about the words I shared today at the no kings protest, here's the full text. Thanks @indivistwincities.bsky.social and @mn50501.bsky.social. Wrote it last week, but because it ended up being about how we carry grief and what we might do with it, it felt appropriate:

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Really hard to overstate the extent to which opposition to the current administration is the default position of normal people. They’re handing out kazoos. There’s bubble machines

Few are telling this trainwreck's tale with as much rigor and passion as @anniewaldman.bsky.social‬ @ #ProPublica. "[Trump] ...has terminated more than 1,450 [#NIH] grants withholding more than $750 million in funds." Read the full piece zurl.co/fCpUU & join us to fight back. #StandUpForScience

My parents are out in the streets today. I can’t even get them to leave the house for a restaurant that I am paying for.

I'm floored. This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today. This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points. The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed. There will be no kings.

We need mass mobilization in the U.S. right now, and I think that people who are somehow still focused on sneering at Perfidious Wine Mom Liberals are profoundly unserious

Trumpism always deputizes people to do violence on its behalf, something Trump built into it intentionally or not if you think he's smart or not. From his last term, he was able to inspire the Proud Boys, far right militias, neoconfederates in the south, to commit violence & terrorism for him.
