I’ve join over 100 leading researchers in issuing a statement intended to reinforce the scientific consensus that bias in AI is a real problem and to encourage policymakers to take meaningful steps to address it. 1/ www.aibiasconsensus.org

They are monsters. There is no way around it. It is both dangerously bad foreign policy and it is grotesquely inhumane. The vast majority of Americans don't get it and need to wake up to what is happening here, to how disastrous it is for us and the world, how dangerous it is for our future.

I think what is making everyone so angry isn’t just the cowardice of Senate Democrats, it’s their cowardice in comparison to the random normal person who runs for school board to oust a Moms for Liberty freak

The Democratic Party’s problems are not about being moderate or left. That’s a consultant and pundit red herring The problems are in party organization, the culture of “it’s their turn” nominations, candidate recruitment, gerontocracy, inability to shape media topics, and coming off hella lame

We need some better language for pushing back against what the administration is doing. They’re not “ending DEI.” No. They're firing women and people of color in the military. They’re forbidding whole fields of research. They’re erasing trans people from existence.

If you’re a Dem elected and you’re not mentioning the massive cuts to cancer cure and social security funding in every public appearance you’re just not doing your job.

The way the measles is being discussed right now is so bleak. Like, this is not an "epidemic"—it's a massive government failure. When our government functioned better, people weren't brainmelting from propaganda and allowed to opt out of vaccines that practically eradicated these childhood diseases.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Dear Democratic Party, Put @aoc.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social in charge of messaging. Then listen and learn how it's done in 2025.

RFK Jr: “Gardasil is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen.” @drneilstone.bsky.social: “The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer! RFK Jr is an anti-vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cancer than a vaccine.”

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I dunno, it's just kind of a bummer to see every tiny thing you've ever worked and fought for in your life eradicated in the span of a few weeks by a cabal of smirking, sociopathic buffoons, y'know?

I don't want the Dems to compromise or fret over what battles to pick. I want them to throw sand in the GOP's gears at every turn.

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

Every news thing now is like “law enforcement agency dissolved: all power to Zod!” and then the Dems posting “iron workers have been the backbone of American industry for 100 years, and now tariffs are breaking our promise to them”

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

Anxious Nation Waits For Democratic Party To Do Something, Anything In Face of Republican Assault On Life And Liberty

I am begging otherwise-smart people to realize that often the answer to “I just saw something enraging on social media, why have I never heard about it before” is “because it’s not true.”

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all. It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.” Be specific!

I’ll continue to tap this sign. There is no serious legal scholarship which supports the unconstitutional attack on birthright citizenship. There are cranks who are engaging in reactionary wishcasting. That’s it.

When bad shit’s happening, all you can do is make your little corner of the world better. Whatever your role is—in your family, your workplace, or your community—try to leave it a little better than you found it today. A million acts of resistance are how we get through this. 💙
