Hanging out in Philly and greeting supporters!

Speaking with veterans at the American Legion on how they will be impacted by technological developments such as new rules allowing AI to deny claims under Medicare. Congress needs to provide oversight, but hasn't shown the interest or ability. Let's elect new, competent representatives!

Pod Save America said it best. The Democratic Party needs new representatives!

Term limits for Congress ensures the well of good ideas never runs dry. That is why I signed the US Term Limits pledge for a constitutional amendment placing limits of 3 terms on representatives and 2 terms on senators. Career politicians are a big part of what prevents real change in our country!

I’m a computer scientist and a progressive running for Congress in Pennsylvania's 3rd district. I'm running to address the harms of Big Tech and ensure protections are in place as AI proliferates in society. To learn more about my story, motivation, and platform, visit karlforcongress.us

Media: Is Trump in the Epstein files? Trump: Tariffs!!! Media: That's old news. What about Epstein? Trump: ...Rosie O'Donnell!!!

The National Weather Service is understaffed and underfunded, with more cuts underway. This isn't a "that's what you get" post; that would be too callous considering the scope of the tragedy in Texas. This is a call-to-action: Fund science, fund research, and fund federal agencies, not just ICE.

#UnionStrong in #Philly with DC 33!

Wadsworth Day in Philadelphia was an opportunity to do a couple things: 1) Interact with the community and discuss their concerns. 2) Deal with the Philadelphia democratic machine. It doesn't like outsiders and will do everything to remove challengers. It's going to be an interesting year!

An FYI to Android developers as Trump releases a rebranded phone as the grift du jour: you can detect the manufacturer and model of the device running your app with android.os.Build.MANUFACTURER and android.os.Build.MODEL. You might also find BRAND and PRODUCT to be helpful. #androiddev

1/3 Bill Maher is a grievance comic. The only things that are bad in the world are the things that bother him personally.

It's pretty weird they haven't just brought him home, right? I mean, being evil, callous, and cruel is its own thing, but when 9 justices tell you to return this one guy and you're jumping through hoops to make sure it doesn't happen, like...what is that?

More from the #HandsOff protest in Philly!

Hands-Off Philadelphia!

Employing tariffs to weaken other countries' economies (allies and neighbors no less) is nothing short of economic terrorism.

🙏🙏💪🇺🇲🇺🇲

Some facts about #Philadelphia and the Department of Education • Philly receives a quarter of its public school funding from the feds • Title I targets high-poverty areas. Philly is the country's "poorest large city" • If the DoE goes away, say hello to higher property taxes and rent #Edusky

When ICE attempted to detain Mahmoud Khalil they said his student visa was revoked, despite him being a permanent resident and not having a student visa. So that's where we are. ICE blatantly LIED to lock someone away with no accusation of a crime and no due process. The Brownshirts are here!

This has been said enough but it still needs to sink in for some. A tariff on imports is a tax! Americans are the ones paying it! Interestingly, the 25% power surcharge that Canada just placed on Wisconsin, Michigan and New York is ALSO a tax on the US. Trump can't do any goddamn thing right.

Canada was drinking maple syrup and minding their business, and along came Trump with a chip he knocked off his own shoulder.

I don't think I've ever fully internalized the phase "not my president" until what unfolded today between Trump and his brown-nosing VP, and the only man in the room, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I have no words.

Remove Eric Adams!

Why is this Trump/Musk fiasco being allowed to continue? Democrats! This is NOT business as usual! Stop this NOW!

He's purging career prosecutors, firing inspectors general, and freezing spending on everything from food stamps to cancer research while simultaneously pumping his memecoin from the Whitehouse. Why's this impeachment taking so long?

"I'll stop drinking if you make me Secretary of Defense" - Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense

To the 50% of Latino men (and 36% women) that supported Trump: One of the first acts he took upon entering office was to shut down the Spanish translation of the WhiteHouse web site apnews.com/article/trum...

Today's MLK Day. Go out and focus on doing good in your community, and nothing else.

The political agnosticism of federal disaster aid is only ever in question under Republican leadership.

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, lied about being good at video games. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, pretended to be someone else to defend himself on Twitter Space. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is supremely insecure, hollow, and dangerous.

TikTok being sold doesn't mean a damn thing. Big Tech and other home-grown interests owning our data and manipulating us with algorithms gives the same result. We need legislation that protects our information from exploitation. Not virtue signalling that the CCP is bad.

Generative AI doesn't know what it doesn't know because it doesn't know what it does know. Treating it as a subject-matter expert instead of an assistive tool is folly. #EduSky

The only title that matters: Convicted Felon Donald Trump!

The press is like a cat chasing a laser pointer when it comes to Trump's utterances. The Gulf of Mexico is a distraction. Hold his feet to the fire about his plan to lower grocery prices and every other promise he made on the campaign.

Working my way through The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke has taught me a valuable lesson: You can read multiple books at the same time.

Representation in STEM matters for all the reasons you can imagine and then some! #EduSky

15 years later and still rocking the #Kindle Keyboard. You folks with the Paperwhite don't even know!

Jimmy Carter is gone. The ratio is waaay off!

Is sticking tall people in the back of group pictures so you're nothing more than a floating head a kind of discrimination? No? Ok I'll shut up then
