Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Less than 24 hours after the call last night, folks already showing up at Tillis' in-state offices to tell him to vote against Vought. If you see this and think, "Hey that doesn't look hard - I could do that." You're right. You could do this. You should do this.

Autistic people don't lack empathy. But a lot of people mistakenly think we do, so I'm going to explain why it isn't true. First, I'll start by saying that autistic people CAN lack empathy. It's just not because of their autism. (A 20 part thread, this topic is highly nuanced)

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.

One thing for Senate Democrats to do is announce they will use every tool at their disposal to block Bondi’s nomination until DOJ appoints a special counsel (ideally with beefed up firing protections) to investigate the widely reported crimes committed this week by Musk and his band of DOGE goons.

Thanks to everyone who called your senators to tell them to vote against Hegseth. He was confirmed, but with no D votes. That's a big deal, because the caucus is full of cowards. Good to see them hold the line here. Keep calling them - next up is to tell them NO on RFK Jr. www.senate.gov/senators/

The point of the firehose of Executive Orders is to disorient and to demobilize. It's to instill maximum fear. If we know this, then that's already half the battle. This means that we have to respond with focus on those most vulnerable & targets. It means we have to refuse their attempt to scare us.

this is why as much as I respect the reasoning for people saying don’t post it, I will continue to. Because it’s already being erased from history. On the same day it happened. It’s an insult to my family past and present to not call out anti-semitism, and this is full blown Nazi.

I mean is it news that the Mainstream Media is supine and completely in thrall to power. I don't think so. Let's seek out and reward independent outlets with our money and our attention. Instead of reposting bullshit from WaPo or the NYT, uplift other information. That's a simple thing to do.

they might fix grave errors like these, esp those that go viral & catch google’s attention. however, because these systems are non-deterministic, meaning that they can generate different outputs from same input, errors like these are a feature & not a but, meaning llms are inherently unreliable
