I just called my reps to Oppose H.R. 1: the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" - SENATE VOTE THIS WEEKEND (UPDATED 6/28) — you should too: 5calls.org/issue/hr1-on...

This is it. This is why the alarm about AI mostly ought to be a much much deeper and more urgent alarm about the completely broken social and cultural environment many of us live in now.

💯💯 establishment Dems leaning into going more right and corporate are making a huge mistake. Absolutely not reading the room. All DUE respect indeed.

Something really important in organizing/fighting against oppression: you will not always win, but you can always, always inflict a cost. Those add up more than you might think.

one of the things most boggling my mind is there are people still CHOOSING to have babies right now, with all this. Intentionally. I know several! Like, not only are you bringing a new person into the world

"Disable AI" is my favorite button to push. It should be available for everything, not hidden away.

This day is a vivid reminder that we don't know how the future will unfold. An assassination, a fascist parade, escalating war, detentions. And so many people protesting for democracy for the first time. To quote a sign I saw, "I didn't come out because I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful because we're here."

🥲😍

We all should. These past few days have showed how incredibly weak they are.

For We the People to halt Trump’s autocratic breakthrough, millions of Americans need to feel like we’re part of something bigger. We need to understand that we’re part of a movement. We need to feel like we will win. That’s where tomorrow’s #NoKings Day comes in.

anyone else have News Nausea

actually 2000+ events now.

I continue to believe that in times like these, we all share a collective duty NOT to splatter our demotivating feelings of doom and despair all over everybody else in public. I don’t care if it makes YOU feel better. This isn’t about YOU. Deal with those feelings outside of public venues.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

YES. Be on Team Human.

It takes a handful of minutes and is one of the many important steps you can take to tell the government that we should all be allowed to get COVID vaccination which is a WILD ASS THING TO HAVE TO TELL THEM but here we are

you're not USING AI. Its developers are using you, to make themselves rich and you and everyone else you care about obsolete and disposable. Refusing is resistance.

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Take a breath... and read this Reminder from Michael Moore. Then take another breath, deeper. More conscious... Repeat as needed...

I just called my reps to Stop the State #AI Regulation Ban in the Budget Reconciliation Bill — you should too: I thought #5calls script could use some stronger verbiage. Feel free to use. 1/3 🧵

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm! For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste) Need to find your representatives? Here you go: 5calls.org

We creatives and writers who consistently create without ever turning to AI-usage need to be loud and proud about it. On every publication: "This was created by humans/a human. Authentic, original, AI-free". I write a newsletter and have started adding that label to the header.

As I said, they’re going step by step. A mayor now. Labor activists a few days ago. And we’re only a few months in. The answer is not retreat, but further commitment to the fight. Or they will keep taking more.

Absolutely fantastic call today. I needed this.

😢

same

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

seriously unbelievable! I know people like this too, heads in the sand.

#threethings $: carry cash time: plan your messaging for May Day (at protests, or online) prep: take stock of YOUR first 100 days. What have you done/learned? Trade "interviews" with a friend if it helps. Write it up if you can. What's your resistance style? #doOneThing image/alt for details
