What many politicians don't realise - or want to understand - is that many of the "highly-skilled" immigrants whose labour they crave were raised by the same asylum seekers and refugees they openly despise. They take the racist political rhetoric personally, and act accordingly. Why wouldn't they?

Having practiced in the unethical US system for nearly 15 years I fully endorse this message. Alberta’s dual practice policy will make care more expensive and less accessible creating a two tiered system. I wrote about this just before the Canadian snap election in April. @canadahealthwatch.ca

4. the disregard for the corrosive power of anthropomorphism, which is taken advantage of by industry to sell & steal our data, in the base case scenario, and in the worst to abuse and push vulnerable groups to dependance and worse. (Section 3.4 here doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) 6/n

Une Constitution n'est pas un modèle Lego sur lequel on attache des morceaux selon le goût du jour. C'est un document qui donne une vision universelle et partagée de ce qui constitue un monde juste et libre pour l'ensemble des citoyens, présent et futur. Cet article magnifique le démontre bien.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

So Trump's regime might actually be collapsing - great. But if we don't dismantle the structures that delivered it and work to fix the system then it'll just happen again. We cannot have a free and fair society when billionaires can buy politicians. Period.

“Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation ever studied.” Important work from @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social that offers a clear explanation of why there is an intense push to change school curricula to make them more white supremacist newrepublic.com/article/2030...

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

In social media, suspension without telling the suspended account why is not moderation, it's schoolyard ghosting. I expect better from this platform.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way. Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August. Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

Not sure why I didn't think about it before, since that quote follows me since my teenage years, but here is a better version: Practice without theory is magic Theory without practice is fantasy Paraphrased A.C. Clarke a little bit on this, and quite contextual to current trends with LLM.

This is just so bad... I know it plays on their weaknesses, but how can you be sure that the next question you asked wouldn't contain a less trivial one, not so easy to spot?
