We Won. And Now The Oligarchs Are Regrouping. Don't You Dare Go Back to Brunch. Mamdani's victory proves the people can win. But now Trump, Bloomberg, the establishment? They're all BIG MAD and will hit back with all that they have. NOW is the time to organize.

Oligarchs, most often very well educated themselves, have a keen interest to keep most of the population ignorant. And boy do results show in ‘Murika.

The Real Demon Inside ChatGPT AI chatbots strip language of its historical and cultural context. Sometimes what looks like a satanic bloodletting ritual may actually be lifted from Warhammer 40,000.

ChatGPT and similar programs weren’t just trained on the internet—they were trained on specific pieces of information presented in specific contexts.

When stripped of that context, the bots can confuse and alarm users, or even dangerously mislead them.

100%. Michelle Obama’s “go high when they go low” doesn’t work against tyrants or oligarchs. It’s like asking to get punched in the face again and again.

Fighting fire with fire stands a much better chance.

Perhaps — and hear me out here — going high when they go low isn’t really working.

"Self made billionaires" will have you believe that they personally made their fortune, but it takes an entire bureaucracy of police, judges, politicians, and military to steal that much money from the working class.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.
