Tech bro billionares continually try to brute force this narrative that Ai Is inevitable. That this is a new industrial revolution and if we cant keep up with progress we should get out of the way, but thats just not the reality most of us are living in under the American plutocracy.

Im seeing a terrifying number of angry town hall meetings where residents are screaming about how they dont want Ai Data centers and are being told "too bad" by ELECTED representatives. There is so much footage of smarmy Ai reps telling locals they dont know what's best for their own communities.

Looks like they had more to say.

via @hissgoescobra.bsky.social Listen to the judge at Tina Peters's trial give a searing condemnation of her crimes and behavior in Court. Compare this to what Polis is trying to spin today, in order to justify the bended knee to Trump and his shortcutting of the judicial process:

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

Even in death, a trans woman gets they/them'd by people with good intentions who still don't understand why that is such an insulting thing to do. It makes me angry. Her pronouns are right there. Just because she's trans doesn't mean she's nonbinary. You're taking away her womanhood.

I feel like they still call it the "MeToo Era" as if it's a period of time they want to end and never ever revisit.

Hilarious that she has this "opinion" yet says nothing about this new slush fund that is worth almost 2 trillion dollars. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-i...

Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group, So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you

She was beautiful.

The New York Times treats Republican lawmakers like hapless bystanders rather than willing co-conspirators in the illegal war with Iran.

this is a state sponsored children's torture camp

"You can't be having all these trans women being murdered by men in the headlines when you're trying to convince the public that the safest thing would be for trans women to use the men's bathroom and locker room. "You run the risk of people seeing through the propaganda that way."

California-based artists and creatives, the California government is asking for public input on AI's impact on our work. Please fill out this survey, it'll just take a few minutes: join.engaged.ca.gov/en/projects/...

Curious what it's going to take for the President's Mental Condition to start leading every news outlet every day, because it seems like it really should

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

Hey @casten.house.gov please do a wellness check on your colleague from Florida. Make sure her staff haven’t dumped her in a nursing home. None of y’all should just be vanishing for a month with no explanation. bsky.app/profile/phil...

Please contact your reps and demand they oppose the GUARD Act www.congress.gov/members/find...

"He walks in Shadow now", explained the spokesman. "He is where the Silence goes to Die, and where the Moon dances eternal upon the Void---dancing, dancing, dancing---I see it still, by the pale towers of Carcosa, by the Black Stars! He continues to work diligently for his constituents every day."

my bet is"not for long"

What an excruciating time. When you’re not being harassed by some jock or bully, you just had teachers who didn’t give a crap about you if you had no athletic prowess. Luckily had some friends there. Hung out with the punks a lot. Bless that one teacher who saw us and let us play ultimate frisbee.

A friend asked why MAGA can’t just ignore The Odyssey if they don’t like the cast. The answer is both ugly and simple: it is not enough for a fascist to control what they consume. They must also control what everyone else consumes. That was the point of both 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. 🧵

Annoy the living daylights out of both payment processors and your local government. Never let them know peace while they are disturbing yours.

UMBERT ACTUALLY! EP 3!!! VFX artists are overworked and underpaid! #UmbertActually #UnionYaoi #MistermanGuyfella #Jellybox #IndieAnimation

I promise, you do NOT want a judge to describe your behavior in this manner. No wonder DOJ doesn’t want its attorneys subject to discipline by state bars.

Preventing racist outcomes is racist against white racists actually.

the thing about nuking prediction markets out of existence is that you’re talking about a fraction of a percent of the population noticing, most of whom are in the red. targeting these markets very aggressively will have no impact on more than 99.5% of the united states

This prick

Please remember, the future is not set in stone. We can turn things around, but it takes effort. Contact your reps, get involved in local orgs, do what you can.

They are hustling a focus group together to declare that this is obviously not a kitchen table issue

The Supreme Court is rushing all this because the rest of the administration went all in on competitive authoritarianism without doing the proper legwork. So now there are elections coming up and the one big tool the regime has left is "six assholes in dark robes"

If the data center is taking power for 50,000 people, then it seems like there's a simple, very flammable solution.

Aye, Georgia, early voting ends on Friday and the primary is on Tuesday. The Supreme Court election is on this ballot. It is not a primary, the winners are installed as judges. Go. Vote.

the state reserves its greatest cruelties for those who have the least

BURGUM: When the sun goes down, solar produces zero electricity HUFFMAN: I want to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the secretary is unaware of -- it's a battery

Welp. Guess we should speak with our wallets and not give them our money if they're gonna pull this. Also make it clear to them that we don't tolerate GenAI usage.

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. Here's new patterns for my carbon fiber foldable walking sticks! Each pattern needs to meet their goals so I can make them a reality!! Or I'll have to refund them. Store: Bibipins.com

I have this page downloaded on my desktop to remind me to be less critical of myself when i mess something up. so yeah, Daughter of the Lilies is a must read.

The Arc the Lad II manga (for the artwork alone) Shiori Experience (it's got fan translations, but I want physical copies)

I didn't know Jesse personally, but we interacted a bunch and he did this amazingly Black Canary commission for me. He was great.
