What if we just…you know…didn’t use AI, given that we’ve seen approximately 1 billion red flags?

With this salvo, Kansas has escalated what will be a federal effort to establish a Jim Crow system of lawfully enforced second-class citizenship aimed at trans American It was already the case but now it's inarguable; anyone who doesn't fully support trans people is an enemy of all civil rights.

It’s like, do what you can do reduce the harm you’re implicated in systemically. You may be limited from honoring a boycott, ok. You can’t really help paying taxes that are murdering people. But you for damn sure can choose not to pollute Memphis & waste gallons of water & plagiarize with ChatGPT!

"Is anyone going to have the stomach to fire tens of thousands of ICE agents?" You're seriously asking this question? To be clear, do you mean "fired from their jobs" or "fired into the sun"?

I would wager that the reason the Trump administration has kept their sabre rattling to a minimum over this is because Marco Rubio knew as well as anybody that this was going to turn out to be Floridians Floridaing too close to the sun.

Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.

i am glad to be a trans person on hrt. being trans is awesome and incredible and anyone persecuting trans people is hell's own jackass. gender should be a playground not a prison camp with barbed wire around it

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

Part of the reason the whole country hasn't been screaming about trans Kansans who drive being made criminals overnight is because there's so much else that's unconstitutional and horrifying. But part of it is because it's happening to trans people.

People mostly don't pay attention but the criminal punishment system in this country is just a system of control of those with less power.

One of my dad's arguments for why we don't lick knives is "don't do anything you don't want to explain to the paramedics" and given how many local paramedics I know now this argument has only gotten stronger with time...

Aren't there already plenty of books and movies and shows that have told us exactly this for decades? Yes, those were all imaginary and created by people. So is "AI".

My worst nightmare is that anyone ever think I organize to get famous or enrich myself. I do it because I had a hard life, I got some space to breathe, and I want things to be easier for everyone. I talked about this because I want other people to see that they can just do something.

No one wants to help people in hard times more than people who have been through hard times themselves.

Times and WaPo just dragging Trump across the fascism finish line like

A big reason Democrats lose is that people think they're phonies who don't believe in anything or have any self-respect. Act like you believe in something. Anything. For fuck's sake

The prototype fascist administration was way funnier than this one. Only issue was they level capped at Klan but the new guys hit NG+ & got to Nazi. Nobody even remembers AG Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III whose only qualification was that he had the most confederate general ass name possible.

A coalition of +40 organizations are mobilizing tomorrow morning against proposed legislation in NYC Council to create protest “buffer zones” that activists and legal scholars say will stifle and criminalize protest and seems focused on stopping pro-Palestine demos against illegal land sale events.

Is REM having a renaissance? Just heard Crush With Eyeliner thumping from a BMW as it drove by.

"organizers] learned something from 2020, & they are pulling those things in their hyperlocal context right now, making those things, every day. If there's something [1ME] showed people, it's that there is work going on, all the time, every minute, all the places, & you don't have to know about it.

Woohoo!

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

And it's really hard to know what this means, especially, for the families in hiding. Presumably that's not sustainable forever; what level of drawdown is sufficient to bring them back out? Will they even trust a drawdown occurred?

People laugh at MISSION ACCOMPLISHED but I really think that was when authoritarians learned that they can just say an operation is over and then major media will be like "Well that's that!" and move on. Which is why we still have daily kidnappings in LA & Minnesota & everywhere else they've been.

"Among the many victims is Musk’s own ex-partner and the alleged mother of one of his many children, Ashley St Clair. St Clair has been subjected to the repeated undressing and sexualization of her image, including one of her at age fourteen. These images remained up for hours, despite complaints"

Weird pet peeve: people who park their cars with the windshield wipers not in the rest position. Those wipers work hard; let them sleep!

The "DO NOT BE ALARMED" Alarm is an important announcement that should not be missed by anyone nearby. Jorts is a champion of the people.

Part of why I am insistent that public libraries must be expanded is because they can offer us a foundation for unleashing creativity and for nurturing imagination. This is an affirmative project at a time when we desperately need to be FOR things and not just against them.

Don't see any politicians talking about it these days, but this country desperately needs UBI.

There's an embrace?

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

the Black Panthers were right

"But if you give free college and health care to all those kids, people will be mad" cool we can give everyone free college and health care, too, I'm not mad about that

Beautiful.

Fuckin' can't do *anything* anymore.....

"If any of you, in any way, hate homosexuals, people of a different color or women, please do this one favor for us — leave us the fuck alone. Don’t come to our shows and don’t buy our records." - Kurt Cobain

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted. 17 He loved to pronounce a curse— may it come back on him. He found no pleasure in blessing— may it be far from him.

Obviously, my song would be "I'm Dancing in the Show Tonight" by Ween. Practically choreographs itself.

This would be groundbreaking.

I have watched more & more friends turn to Substack in the past few months. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! #Substack has well-documented problems with platforming literal Nazis, as well as writers spreading Covid misinformation, anti-vaccine propaganda, & transphobia. Long post here: bit.ly/substacksux

Nine members of the “Prairieland 19,” anti-ICE protesters in Texas who the Trump administration is dubiously accusing of domestic terrorism, are going on trial this week. The case is a test for how easily Trump might criminalize dissent going forward. Free the Prairieland defendants!

If they can arrest a prince, you can arrest a president. Thou shalt arrest the Epstein criminals in the USA. Git ‘r’ done. The Lord has spoken. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It'd be some interesting discovery for the trial.....

Pay attention to the Prairieland case. By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.
