A dangerous provision is being considered by the Senate that would prevent states from regulating AI for ten years with no federal alternative. We must tell Congress to oppose this ten year ban on AI regulation immediately.

Hate to say it, but federal agents kidnapping people from the street into unmarked vehicles, no badges, no IDs, happened last time Trump was in office: Portland 2020. When Trump's feds intervened in the racial justice uprising. Abe Asher, now at the Portland Mercury: www.vice.com/en/article/h...

Wilson is just giving PPB license to continue to materially support ICE, under the guise of keeping out the military. Trump will send in troops on his whim, regardless of what Wilson and PPB do. LAPD was actively cooperating with ICE, too./

Stoking fear about immigrants and mass deporting people is a betrayal of our values and a recipe for economic disaster. The real threat workers face is corporate greed. The labor movement is committed to ensuring that all working people are protected.

This is a good thread for everyone. If you want action quickly, under current authority, involving a bureau -> Call the Mayor and it theoretically could happen quickly. If you want policy change, oversight, or things that cost money -> Call your Councilor(s) and it'll (on purpose) take a while.

I will say for the umpteenth time that the Democratic establishment is terrible at understanding enthusiasm math. An energized base is crucial to winning fights-- electoral and otherwise-- because they will drag the low info folks out to vote and protest and engage. You NEED that energy.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
