I don't think we talk enough about how dignity is also a human right. Food, water, shelter, education, health care, representation...all of those are human rights that everyone should receive regardless of who they are. But it's also a right to not have to beg for them.

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

I loosely follow baseball, so I paid for an audio-only subscription. I listen to Giants games in one ear when I watch my kid at the playground.

I'm going to restrict myself to one (two part) comment, which is: 1) the entire range runs from execs making 290x what their workers make to execs making 350x what their workers make, and 2) this should frame everything else such execs encourage you to be mad about

This holds true for events in Minnesota today. Violence against legislators is a clarion call of weakness. It advertises the fact that the attackers are weak, desperate, and in the minority. It is an open attack on democratic governance, grounded on free and fair elections by We the People.

All the reporting about ChatGPT and other large language models that seem to be driving people insane raises some questions about the people running those companies. If I created a product that melted people's minds when they asked for advice, I'd maybe go: "Whoops! Not ready yet! Sorry, everyone!"

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

The Right Way To Protest is to stand very still in your apartment and whisper “I wish this wasn’t happening” then get your ass to work, you’re gonna be late damn it

Been going to the movies a fair bit recently; things have slipped. At Sinners, three people came in ~1/2 hour in and had their phones out down my row. One person pulled theirs out with the flashlight on during that dance scene, and I instinctively snapped my fingers at them.

3yo got a strawberry steamer yesterday on the way home from the protest and didn’t finish it. I reheated it for his breakfast. While getting ready to drink the still-too-hot drink, he raised it unsteadily to his lips, and after he had decided it was too hot, said he had taken a “foresip”

I think our protest signs represent each of us well. The protest today was a great reminder that we’re not alone, and how powerful the people are. We heard way more appreciative honks from drivers than anything else, and it was good to build a memory of standing up as a family.

More like a come-to-fascism moment. These creeps think morality is down to public opinion. Wish we had more vertebrates in positions of power and influence.

A note for my fellow fascism fighters: We can criticize the people on the other side. We can even punch them in the face when needed. But let's not call them animals or subhuman, even as a joke or hyperbole. Dehumanization got us into this mess. It won’t get us out.
