I'd like to move to ban all the tech bros from using Tolkien references in any way, for any reason, forever. Any seconds?

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I was thinking about this yesterday, but when we consistently ask the same people to show grace and sacrifice, we come to expect them to be the only people who must do so.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

AI has some specific, narrow tasks for which it is very useful. None of them are things random average folks are doing in their living rooms. For everything else, you already have an ACTUAL Ibtelligence.

Shall I tell my neurodiverse LGBTQ children that it's our fault & fully deserved if they lose supports and rights, because even though we voted against it AND THEY'RE CHILDREN we happen to live in a red state? It's surely not the fault of people like my blue state inlaws - who DID vote for this.

As an introvert, I've experienced the joy of canceled plans. But as a socially anxious, I've never experienced the joy of being the person to do the canceling. Maybe we need to embrace the concept of prosocial anxiety.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

Compassion fatigue exists to be a reminder that we must save & time and space to take care of ourselves & our mental health. It's a reminder that policies must be based in rational thought, not just how we feel today. It is NOT a valid excuse for jailing everyone who's inconvenient to you.

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

Ask your state and federal legislators to codify the freedom to read into law. Let them know we will not accept blatant viewpoint discrimination in our publicly-funded libraries and schools under the guise of “government speech.” Libraries belong to the people.

The GOP have furloughed hundreds of thousands & are blocking access to key services over “Democrats wanting to give healthcare benefits to immigrants,” so Democrats should take advantage of that and demand healthcare for everyone instead of saying “we agree that some people don’t deserve healthcare”

I’ve been asked about de-extinction a lot this weekend, especially whether it’s scientifically possible. No, it’s not, and Colossal has already been caught lying about their projects. Extinction is forever. We have to grieve and use that feeling to protect the future of life that is here now.

Those Dire Wolves Aren’t an Amazing Scientific Breakthrough. They’re a Disturbing Symbol of Where We’re Heading.
We shouldn’t be celebrating “de-extinction.” We should be focused on the species that are currently in danger.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.
