"These tariffs have been in effect for almost a year. They have upended whole sectors of the U.S. & global economies. The fact that a president can illegally exercise such powers for so long & w/ such great consequences for almost a year means we’re not living in a functional constitutional system."

We don't get paid maternity leave because a bunch of pervert billionaires didn't like it We didn't get rape protection for the same reason Women's healthcare lags decades behind because pervert billionaires wanted to spend that money on stealing babies at the border

Ford's casually racist comments are a dog whistle I've heard my whole life, reflected in notions of "high" and "low" technology. Baskets are a technology, and STEM courses should be teaching their historical trajectory. You can trace colonization itself through basket tech

“Why does the left hate technology” is not the right question. Instead we should be asking “why do most people hate the capitalist technologies sold as ‘innovations’ and forced onto society by a handful of mega billionaires and their toady sycophants?”

The constant condescension about ai is another aspect of it that makes me hate it more. The assumption is you can only be against it because you don't understand it like I do. No man. I don't like voluntarily making every human enterprise dependent on a tech run by a tiny group of financial maniacs

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't. They won't only be for brown and Black people. The targets will keep expanding. It will not end. The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

AI was developed illegally from stolen work. The people who involuntarily supplied the work were never compensated and there is no reason to expect they ever will be. And the billionaires who developed it are now in full support of the fascist takeover. But people are still calling it a "tool."
