Support these great Americans and their mission. They aren't afraid to speak the truth, and truth is what we need now, more than anything. Americans have been lied to by Republicans for far too long.

The people aren’t taking The Grifter’s bullshit. youtu.be/pAxAuBdm90o?...

Danny has been my friend since middle school. He’s been laying low & trying to live his life, but this issue forced him to post the below on FB. He was w/ DSS for 16 yrs & served all over also as a marine. Please share everywhere, per his request. 💙 abcnews.go.com/US/diplomati...

@chattfilmfest.bsky.social "I want you to write draft after draft and develop a stronger version of your own ideas. I want you to be proud of what you accomplished, not ashamed that you cut corners." — Jonathan Zimmerman, University of Pennsylvania (2 of 2).

@chattfilmfest.bsky.social When I taught sports and narrative non-fiction writing in college, I showed my students a Penn professor's thoughts on AI: “… I want you to be intelligent. I want you to stare at a blank page or screen for hours, trying to decide how to start. (1 of 2)

We can't let these heartless bastards win. Bug the shit out of your representatives!

Write or call your Senators and keep doing it. Leon and his goons have invaded SSA. If they try to kneecap payments to 71 million citizens, there's going to be hell to pay. I just diplomatically reminded by senators of that via email.

When I taught narrative non-fiction and sports writing at the University of Tennessee, I banned AI. It blows. It's soulless. So proud of my son's film festival that thinks the same way about AI. Buy one of these shirts, help a great festival, and help fight against soulless art.

The Contrarian: Bit by bit, the consequences will pile up. There may be no single catastrophe... of the Musk-Trump inflicted damage. But the cumulative effect of disabling government, reducing personnel devoted to health and safety, and throwing 100s of 1000s out of work will take its toll.
