If you want to see how AI is used to manipulate people, see the instructions Musk gave to his LLM "Grok." -It's provided a pre-made list of sources -Told to hide that list and any citations it finds -Ignores all misinformation references to Musk/Trump

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

Wow. The US is now officially a dictatorship. So quick. Trump official announces that Trump has signed an executive order stating that “only the President and the Attorney General can speak for what the law is.”

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Trans activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera played crucial roles in the Stonewall uprising. This is insulting on several levels. www.reuters.com/graphics/USA...

Watching ppl appear shocked as corporations swiftly drop DEI programs: folks who aren’t shiny, whose accomodations require thoughtful change, are a “poor cultural fit” or couldn’t code switch have always known corporate commitment to DEI is hollow

Elon Musk has been attacking USAID — because USAID has been investigating Musk Why? Because USAID paid for the Starlink units Musk claimed to give Ukraine in 2022 (!!!) Some ended up with Russia — so USAID opened an inquiry Meanwhile Musk started speaking to Putin in late 2022

Elon Musk has ZERO receipts for his claims of “fraud” in government agencies. But there seem to be a LOT of receipts showing that those same government agencies were investigating or regulating Musk and his companies.

You say: they shutdown USAID. You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Votes don’t just happen once every four years. If you don’t like the way things are going, if you want some level of change, keep making your voice heard at the ballot box. Nobody gets into elected office without our say.

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

Because Great Big Story has just featured him, reminder that Barnaby J Dixon, British puppeteer, is a noxious transphobe who made multiple videos interviewing transphobes and gender critical figures supportively, and constantly questioning trans' folks rights to exist. Don't support him or his work

Musk has sicced his followers on the WSJ writer who reported on a DOGE staffer’s racist online, history demanding her firing. This is a tactic Silicon Valley’s neoreactionaries have been advocating for years: Pick a reporter, dox and harrass, make an example of them, make everyone else afraid.

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

IT’S ALIVE! I have a first-draft manuscript for STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS – RING OF FIRE! It weighs in at 103,000 words. Next, I’ll do a polishing draft before submitting it to my editor. This is novel #39 for me, and #32 for #StarTrek. I gotta say … this feeling never gets old. 🙂

Mr Rogers always said, to find hope in despair, look for the helpers. But I think it's important to do more than just look for them. Ask them how you can help. Learn from them. Support them. Become one. Going to be a lot of grassroots community building. Look to them for the blueprints of help.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
