a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

This has been my question for Clintonian Liberalism since November 2016

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

I've worked enough retail to know this is just about whipping obedience into employees and has little to do with the actual shopping experience. Only the Karens care if you're smiling. Keep boycotting Target.

And they expect people to really believe it the fault of trans people and immigrants why theyre not gonna have a Thanksgiving dinner this year?🙄

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Re: sandwich guy

cis ppl: pls stop using "he or she" in sentences when talking about a person of indeterminate gender. just say "they." that's literally what singular they is MOST used for. and that way you're not categorizing literally every possible human in that instance into being man/woman. it's so easy.

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

if you didn't follow the VA governor race you didn't know that Earle-Sears ran like a billion anti-trans campaign ads and Spanberger didn't flinch or pull a Newsom. going all-in against trans people is a losing move, especially when the federal government has made harming and killing us a priority.

I love how the most universally-despised people in the world were like "we full-throatedly endorse this race-baiting rapist" and "don't vote for brown guy or we'll leave the city!" & now establishment Dems are panic-pretending this isn't also a clear referendum on their shriveled up quisling asses.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

by any conceivable measure SNAP is one of the best programs we have, keeps countless people from food insecurity, and every dollar spent goes back into the community 1.5 times over if you’re policing what people spend it on because they don’t “deserve” joy you’re a shitty excuse for a human being

A movie you’ve seen more than seven times with a GIF

we can't let it be overlooked that one of the featured speakers at the anti-trans talk was Brianna Wu Lia Smith's blood is on Brianna Wu's hands

[remembering the hillary '08 campaign spreading photos to imply obama was a muslim, as an attack on him] mmmmm.

Cut benefits, force the poor to commit “crimes” of survival, arrest them. Can’t afford bail? Straight to jail. Free labor for corporations and private investors. The suffering is the point.

If you see someone stealing food - no you didn't.

a former NCAA swimmer who was no longer allowed to compete killed herself *last week* fuck you gavin, to the ends of the earth

Clearly trans women do these things but there is something so bleak about defining womanhood as only service to others

At this point I’m becoming so anti-AI that if gen AI is a package deal with machine vision/learning etc, then at this point I’m cool with just getting rid of it all. Shut it all down. AI trash sorting is cool and all but if *this* is the bad that has to come with that good, its simply not worth it.

If you see someone stealing groceries, no you didn’t

"Cities should remain museum pieces for incumbents and any newcomer is strictly a burden" is the most loser mindset that powers the most loser politics in America today.

The more evidence mounts that Platner is lying, the more convinced I become that he is lying not only about his past but also about his current views.

Bernie isn't admitting he is wrong *now*.

I need more people who do not have tattoos to understand that this is the most accurate take I've seen of this situation.

We’re making fun of her, but it really is beyond the pale at the White House press secretary would say this in public and it would not be a scandal.

this is an incredibly ominous beginning to a future with a largely carved out federal emergency response system

When prices were going up under Biden there was a constant deluge of news stories about it because the media did not like Biden and wanted him to lose. Under Trump there is not a constant deluge of news stories about coffee prices because they like Trump and want him to win

So who among your family and friends are you willing to let die for "long-horizon strategy"? Are YOU willing to die? You willing to forego life-saving healthcare, using public restrooms, deciding your own name, not being beaten to death by any jackass who thinks you look "wrong"? No? Then shut up.

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

imagine going from “don’t say anything bad about Newsom 3 years before the primary or else trump will win” to “don’t engage in civics by asking the governor that represents you to sign laws that have been passed by two state houses and will improve your life or else you’re helping fascism”

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

Yup
