Unlike Rep senators + reps lying on national media outlets, I actually dealt with Medicaid work requirements as a legal aid attorney when they caused mass chaos in 2018 in Arkansas. I wrote about it in this recent NYT OpEd. Any chance a major network would have me on to shed light + tell truth?

Relentless positivity, an unapologetic focus on economic justice, and widespread inclusion wins! Zohran provides some hope and a path forward when we all really really need it. Good stuff.

Don’t miss this brilliant report that names the myths propping up AI’s current “inevitable” trajectory, exposes how Big Tech is rigging the system, & outlines what we must do to take back our future from unaccountable power.

It took just 15 years to get from Citizens United to this

Route 50 coverage of @localprogress.bsky.social and @ainowinstitute.bsky.social report on how local elected officials can take action to steer the adoption of AI and protect constituents from the harms.

We launched a new report with @localprogress.bsky.social : Local Leadership in the Era of Artificial Intelligence & the Tech Oligarchy. Watch our webinar with @hillaryronen.bsky.social and @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrdF...

Looking so forward to sharing how local elected officials can work to protect communities from the harms of AI. Excited to be joined by @smw.bsky.social and Councilmember Jennifer Gutierrez, Chair of NYC's Committee on Technology. Join us.

“The provision…would strip the public of any meaningful recourse in the face of AI-related harm… It’s a decade-long permission slip for corporate impunity. The provision is a message to the states…shut up while Big Tech writes its own rules or continues to lobby Congress to have none at all.”

The stakes are high. Time to focus on shaping the direction of AI is now.

On X, VP Vance falsely claims that Mr. Abrego was a "convicted MS-13 gang member." In fact, Mr. Abrego has no criminal record at all. He was arrested (but not charged) while looking for day labor outside a Home Depot in 2019. Local cops then said a "confidential informant" said he was in MS-13.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

As a former member of the San Francisco Democratic Central Committee, I’m incensed by the party’s current leadership and will reregister as an independent if there are not major changes and consequences for Schumer, et al.’s stunning betrayal.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

While Elon Musk aggressively pursues “AI-first governance,” the American people remain skeptical of AI and Big Tech. “The administration’s current AI blitzkrieg may intensify this antipathy,” @kevindeliban.bsky.social writes. thehill.com/opinion/tech...

Ran into this student led protest in Boyle Heights! The youth know what’s up.

My entire life my public school teacher midwestern born white Jewish mom has told me, “I’m not political.” She refused to talk about “complicated” issues. This week she has initiated convos everyday abt the privatization/austerity agenda of Trump/Musk & her outrage. There is a moment to seize!
