Dad running for NY-02 to make Long Island more affordable for working families.

pinned post!
Long Island deserves a Representative who fights for working families and stands up to Trump’s attacks. Meanwhile, Andrew Garbarino can’t even wake up to vote. I'm running for Congress because I know we can fight our way out of this. Be a day 1 donor:

I don't think this is the case, nor do I think this conclusion is anything other than what our opponents want us to draw. They don't have the people, but authoritarians do have the ability to build fear, and you have to fight that fear if you want to not become overwhelmed by the enemy.

At some point I'm going to get my AI policy out but it starts with "any company wanting to build a data center has to also make it energy neutral on the Grid by building carbon free capacity so the rest of us don't get screwed in the process".

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Chris Murphy: "The treasury secretary just said 'we're gonna escalate in order to deescalate.' It's like they've never read a history book. That's exactly what our leaders said in the middle of Vietnam, in the 20 years of mismanagement in Afghanistan. We need to end this war."

The antibiotic one is a really good example of American decadence these days b/c undergirding all of this, is the belief that there’s not really gonna be any consequence for a choice or if there is, someone can bail me out out of it (I can go to the hospital and they’ll make it all magically better)

I think I come down to the "you put your name on it, you vouch for it unconditionally, every word, regardless of LLM use" side of the debate rather than the "you should explicitly say if you used an LLM always" side. Too much potential to use the machine to dodge accountability

So... the actual story reported here is that the administration set up a dedicated task force to document EU censorship and THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY. Not that you'd know that from the headline.

We’re quickly learning that our checks, balances, and separation of powers were always dependent good faith, and therefore incapable of preventing destruction wrought by the very sort of shameless, arrogant, mad president they were designed to contain.

people don't realize how concentrated GOP fundraising is. more than half of all money that they got in 2024 was from donations over $1mn. it's like 200-300 rich cranks that keep the party operating. underrated explanation in why they've gone so insane.

The tendency with stuff like The Metaverse is for the people who championed it to tell a story when it fails about how it seemed like a good idea at the time, nobody foresaw how badly it would fail, etc. It's important to remember none of that is true. Everyone saw in real time how stupid this was.

This is the trust trap, and we have seen it play out again and again in institutions like media, higher ed and govt. The right feeds distrust, use that distrust as a justification to take control, and then undermine the core competencies that everyone else actually values, further eroding trust.
