This guy says more with his cups than most writers. Red states choosing fear over progress is why we can't have nice things.

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

Reminder: this is the only election for the Georgia Supreme Court — there’s no second round, no do-over in the fall. If you want fair justices on the bench, this is the election. Get out and vote.

"And so we, the stupidest, most anti-human people ever to have been granted power by the most bigotry-addled, confused portion of the public, will thwart their plans by killing you first." - GOP horseshoe cult

Might have to post this annually until we do something.

The biggest douchebag man-child you ever met in your life RUNS THE FBI. #BetterDems

This was a fun one: “Explain It to Me Like I’m High” with Ilana Glazer. How do we fix our housing crisis? More apartments … and more (housing) coupons.

Wow - following floor speech by SC Sen Majority Leader Massey (R) against the redistricting effort, the amendment fails with five Republican defections. First GOP resistance to Trump's pressure for maximalist redraws we've seen since Callais. Massey had spoken to Trump but still opposed redrawing

Congressional Republicans want to hand ICE a $38.2 billion check with little oversight or accountability. Instead of investing taxpayer dollars in Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, or lowering energy costs, my Republican colleagues are sending a clear message: you are not the priority.

Greg Gutfled declared it had been about 40 years since the last abortion clinic bombing. It's been a month since the last arson attack. In 2015 three people were murdered in an attack against an abortion clinic. Dr. George Tiller, abortion provider, was murdered in 2009

Survivors of Epstein were not only robbed of their safety, but in many cases also faced financial instability. @pressley.house.gov and Oversight Dems are committed to getting them justice.

Suffering generates profit. It always has. #BetterDems The opposite of greed is peace.

The politics of "taking advantage" vs "taking care" If we want politicians who serve the greater good for ALL people, we need to boost the ones who authentically want to help the most vulnerable folks above those whose primary reason for wanting power is selling out to cash in. #BetterDems

Fascism cuts the mind's potential for infinite empathy into bite-sized pieces, hoping violence will heal the anxiety of disconnection. #BetterDems That's why it gets worse over time. If we don't understand them, we can't out-flank them. Learn how brains work and explain how bigotry enstupidifies.

As Republicans dismantle Black representation throughout the South, they’re using racist language to attack Black leaders. Jen Kiggans is a disgrace. We will defeat her in November.

When you live in a delusion that "other" groups are inferior to you, you reject all the qualities you associate with them. Misogyny rejects what it deems too feminine. Whatever power exists in feminine traits become unavailable for you to wield. Bigotry disempowers the minds that choose it... 1/3

While the Democrats are deciding which starfish they CAN save by tossing them back into the sea, the GOP grimly points at which sections of the starfish-strewn beach to bulldoze and bury for the glory of a Creator who doesn't seem to like Creation very much... 1/2

Anger is derived from fear of harm. You can attach a villain story and seethe. Or, when rage shows up, you can let it trigger some empathy reps, actively expanding your perspective. Never miss an opportunity to aspire to infinity. Infinite understanding requires infinite empathy. #Enlightenment

If you've never rehabilitated an abused animal (humans count), you might not grok how brains work. But you HAVE one. They work BETTER when you understand them. #BetterDems All the feelings you resist? That's you rejecting yourself. Learning to repair that relationship is how you become... 1/2

Replacing thinking with not having to think only appeals to people whose inner life is a terrifying void of disconnection. #BetterDems We should go rescue those people from "profit over people" trained AI so they, too, can find #Enlightenment "People over profit" leads to a HUMAN-centered society.

As a systems thinker myself (born to it, not learned behavior) I very much appreciated this thread - living like this can give you Cassandra syndrome since you often realize an outcome is inevitable before people even think it's possible

A culture taught not to value consent dehumanizes those it should lift up. But people are people. Some choose harm over connection. Some are incentivized to choose this. Some resist. Humanity is a shared state of being. Harming Other, harms Self. Radical empathy is the path to peace. #BetterDems

With every move MAGA makes, thanks in large part to the Roberts Court, they are revealing how much they know voters hate them. They are desperate to pick their voters because voters will not pick them.

A Shark Tank investor just got a three-person county commission to approve one of the largest data centers ever built and the people who actually live there found out about it the same way you did.

Top 10 reasons why Democrats need to talk about climate change now: 🧵

The first ICE abductions from 26 Federal Plaza took place a year ago. Since then, ICE has been separating families & illegally abducting our neighbors — in courthouses, neighborhoods, and workplaces. (1/2)

While millions lose their insurance thanks to Trump & Republicans' decision to slash Medicaid & ACA tax credits, corporate hospitals are jacking up prices.    Let's end the system that allows corporations to rake in huge profits from sick people. It's time for Medicare for All.

HELL YEAH. #BetterDems

Pain is the body's response to damage. A wound can be inflicted, but our body/mind generates the pain. We're capable of processing pain to develop strength. That means taking responsibility for its creation, its duration, its intensity. We relate to pain. There's a level of trust... 1/3

Some governments still intrinsically get this - but no sign that any of them are in the US, where policy conversations are focused on gas tax suspensions, which diminish rather than expanding state capacity. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/w...

If someone who's good at both understanding and explaining things would help me pinpoint where my logical leaps are too big to follow, I'd really appreciate the feedback. LOTS of people are explaining systemic oppression in bits but we need MORE people seeing the WHOLE system... 1/3 #Enlightenment

Learn to think in systems, kids. Life eats life on this planet. Religion proposes to tell you the limits of WHO you should eat, balancing survival needs against greed for control of death, but it abdicates responsibility when it allows white nationalists to co-opt its message of peace and... 1/10

Imagine a global project of donating science-based knowledge for the #Enlightenment of all mankind and the protection of the planet, trained by radically empathetic humans. Now, a cabal of anti-social trolls building emotional detachment training systems for fun and profit. AI has a valence.

Bibi provoked Hamas the same way billionaires are provoking the climate system. The weather is going to war against the predatory hierarchy that prioritizes a greed that can never be satisfied. They'll turn Earth into a parking lot so they can rule over the rubble. Pick a side. #BetterDems

All fights against injustice are ONE fight. EVERYONE of GOOD conscience, level up your compassion to access radical empathy BIG enough to save a planet. When we aspire to be predators, we become unwitting prey. We MUST aspire to be HUMAN. Peace is collaborative. #BetterDems #ClimateEmergency

@schumer.senate.gov can't be expected to lose his taste for violence at his late age. It's served him well. But we deserve compassionate, reality-based leadership who prioritize people and planet. Not mild-mannered predators in spectacles facing off against predators with dementia. #BetterDems

America protects its "right" to eat animals the way conservative politicians in southern states protect the "right" to child marriage. They SEE the slippery slope. If they can't treat sentient beings as objects, NOBODY belongs to them. Humanize the WORLD. Rehabilitate the predators. #BetterDems

Emotional self-repression systems that deny men (generally) paths to emotional maturity: 1. sex negativity: installs shame, self-denial, and ultimately, a sense of entitlement to sex as a prize they win after completing a checklist. (counter: education about pleasure, health, and consent)... 1/8

The cool thing about the climate is the greedier you are, the worse the weather gets. And we KNOW this. #ClimateEmergency When intuitive wisdom and science, our long-standing reality-testing systems, agree, the truth is probably somewhere in that general direction. ##BetterDems

🚨🚨 Today, we’re launching “Stop Greed Build Green,” a strategic framework and agenda to confront the affordability crisis and the climate crisis together by putting working people in charge of the economy and the climate transition. (1/10)

God's telling you to help destroy the planet? REALLY? They're praying to the "Force everyone to worship ME" deity. #BetterDems Nothing like Biblical weather to get folks back to pro-bigotry church. Radical empathy, kids. Every villain misunderstands reality. They're "saving" by enslaving us.

If bad things can happen to good people and good things can happen to bad people then the world is, in fact, controlled by a profiteering cabal of child predators playing apocalypse chicken, kids. #BetterDems Ignoring reality won't fix it. Believing it CAN be fixed is step one. #ClimateEmergency

These are people who WANT to survive. #ClimateEmergency

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.” Revisit this story from our series “The End of Aid,” a 2026 Pulitzer finalist.

Do we think maybe the ginormous data centers are actually apocalypse bunkers outfitted for the end-of-life-on-Earth-as-we-know-it scenario they're trying to drive the climate to? Because I think the proportion of nature to human garbage we've arrived at is more than enough destruction. #BetterDems

Why did the GOP decide to go full climate denialism when so many of its membership authentically believe man is charged with stewardship of Creation? Because you can't follow science-based reality AND oppress a nation into conformity. They picked profiteering domination over saving the world.

At first it was false balance, the BBC Politics department bending backwards to accommodate Brexit. But now its daily partisanship towards populism, its complete lack of commitment to democracy and transparency, make BBC Politics more a public disservice than a public service
