Leah and I released the new Indivisible doc, "A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink," after spending the post-election weekend in a cabin feverishly writing, editing, and rewriting. TNR describes it here as "refreshingly blunt." I think it holds up pretty well 5-ish months later.

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin. It's shameful and dangerous. I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

Substack is using this myth of free speech absolutism to dismiss concerns about platforming and monetizing Nazi speech. Substack is privately owned. They could moderate racist and anti-trans content. THEY HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO TIME AND AGAIN because their business model is literally not sustainable.

If you know me, you know what I think of gen AI - it can automate some tasks and write decent code but can only ultimately rephrase the Internet. Yesterday I was (lazy/time-poor) so I tried Cerebras' Llama-3.1 interface. I think this is quite illustrative of gen AI chain-of-thought 🧵

Really important lesson here. Executive Orders are not laws. Keep on doing what you think is right. Find others who will do the same. It's easier if you're working together. And don't forget, even though it's slow, people are fighting these in the courts and the streets.
