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 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

How is it still January

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

It has now officially been confirmed. We have reached the singularity

"California paid in a lot more [to the federal government] than it got back — $83 billion in total. So did Washington state and much of the Northeast. Most red states were in the reverse position, getting much more from DC than they paid in return."

LETS DO THIS: Close your Threads, Instagram and Facebook accounts … at high noon on 20 Jan 2025 right after you do it to X. The #GreatTwitterWalkoff can also be the #GreatMetaWalkoff. Let’s do it simultaneously and show our power.

President Jimmy Carter’s memorial service was today at the National Cathedral near where I live in DC. This seems like an apt quote when I think about his amazing legacy. We should all live our lives like this.

Trump’s nominees for health leadership roles profit off the unregulated & lucrative wellness industry. RFK Jr. (& Calley Means), Mehmet Oz, Jay Bhattacharya, Dave Wheldon, & Marty Makary are dangers to global health. They will cause irreparable harm. Read ⬇️ news.immunologic.org/p/the-trump-...

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Dems show up every day to get an atomic wedgie and get their lunch money stolen. Trying to think back through 80s movies for possible solutions. Wax on, wax off, Hakeem

The rule of old goes beyond protecting the economic interests of the old at expense of the young. Younger people will also be cannon fodder for upcoming wars. Sadly, the generations that knew the pain of global wars have died off, and with them, the warnings about the horrors of such conflicts

How it started. How it’s going

The best thing you can do is starve Meta for revenue. Never click on or buy anything through their ads. Never pay for an ad to sell a product or advertise an event. Never do anything again that will put one cent in Mark Zuckerberg's pocket!

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record. Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January. But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil. What planet are they living on?

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Someone remind Joe Biden that he has full immunity for official acts, like pardoning anyone he feels like pardoning, telling the IRS to release all of Trump's tax returns, and telling the DOJ to release Jack Smith's report and any non-classified evidence from Donald's many cases.

Can someone make a BlueSky but for photos ?

I’m sorry this was a bit funny

Toxic floods of lies on social media platforms like Facebook have destroyed trust not fact checkers. Let me reiterate: Mark Zuckerberg has never cared about that and never will.

When will someone finally create an AI-driven platform that optimizes for happiness? I may spend less time and click less, but it will have my trust, which is probably much more valuable (looking at you, LinkedIn and BlueSky)

Social media platforms that optimize for engagement (because that’s how they monetize users) have the same motivation cancer cells have in human bodies: expand at all costs, pull in any resource they can. They also shut down any defense mechanisms that could limit this growth

“We realized that filters in our cigarettes were decreasing the tar and nicotine our users enjoy so much and keep them coming back for more. So I am announcing no filters, and will be working with president Trump to make sure US companies can deliver the most cancer to the most people globally!”

Elon Musk said that he reveres Adolf Hitler and believes that every word of Mein Kampf is true. But what are this tech mogul’s real political beliefs? The answer isn’t so simple.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

84 years ago. “I make the direct statement to the American people that there is far less chance of the United States getting into war if we do all we can now to support the nations defending themselves against attack than if we acquiesce in their defeat…” — Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dec. 29, 1940

Twitter wasn’t an investment for Elon. It was a write off and a way to indoctrinate millions of US voters, and it seems to have paid off

The most that can be said about the present moment is that there is disagreement within the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party about which faces to eat in what order.

What’s with all this expansionist rhetoric all of a Sudeten

You can’t judge people only by how they treat you. The true test of character is how they treat those they don't like or need. Even if someone is kind to you, proceed with caution if they’re consistently unkind to others. Selective civility is a sign of deep-seated hostility.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

Could Donald Trump be a moderating influence on an Elon Musk presidency?

Nancy Goodman, founder and CEO of Kids v Cancer, told Newsweek the funding would go to critical research for pediatric cancer.

Not sure if that’s a bug or a feature for Elon

"All intuition about AI capabilities will need to get updated for o3," says the founder of the ARC prize — designed to be very difficult for LLMs to solve — after OpenAI took the benchmark from 5% with o1 to 85% today with o3 arcprize.org/blog/oai-o3-...

Mongol emperor Genghis Khan killed over 30 million people in Asia while siring as many as 1000 children. Could tech entrepreneur Elon Musk do the same thing in the United States?

Greater and greater by the day

Is America getting great again already?

A busy life is not a symbol of status. It's a symptom of trying to do too much for too many people. A full calendar brings a surplus of stress and a shortage of energy. Reflecting and relaxing should be top priorities. Unscheduled time isn't wasted. It's invested in well-being.

A sign of wisdom is refusing to believe every thought that enters your mind. A mark of emotional intelligence is choosing not to internalize every feeling that enters your heart.

In toxic cultures, people prove their intelligence by tearing others down. In healthy cultures, people use their intelligence to build others up. Knowledge and expertise are not weapons to wield. They're resources to share.
