AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

At least Dems got a ceremonial vote on the ACA subsidies in the senate so Susan Collins can vote against her party on that knowing it wonโ€™t pass but sheโ€™ll be able to run on another vote that allows her to pretend to be a moderate. The deal is an in-kind contribution to Collins.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.

We need new leaders in the Senate.

All of these supposed failures by Democrats should more rightly be attributed to the remarkable success of right wing propagandists. They have gotten very good at what they do, and the Dems need to catch up and fight fire with fire in the narrative wars.

Granted weโ€™re just over here in Tennessee, but it kinda seems like greedy bigots threatening to self-deport from NYC if he wins is more of a reason to vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social than against him?

Column | ChatGPT just came out with its own web browser. Use it with caution. OpenAIโ€™s Atlas promises AI-powered convenience. The price? Letting ChatGPT track and store โ€œmemoriesโ€ of what you do online.

ChatGPTโ€™s new Atlas browser doesnโ€™t just see what you read โ€” it remembers it.

@eff.orgโ€™s Lena Cohen showed me it even logged โ€œmemoriesโ€ of her looking for *abortion care* and her doctorโ€™s name. Out-surveils even Chrome.

Everything Is Awful. And Itโ€™s Changing Us. Itโ€™s great that Disney is bringing Jimmy Kimmel backโ€”but is it too late?

A populace that is agitated without being informed. A leader who encourages the worst suspicions, fuels the most dangerous lies, and mocks compromise and tolerance. It is getting close to being too late. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social:

WIRED headline

I thought I knew Silicon Valley.  I was wrong.  

By Steven Levy

Tech got what it wanted by electing Trump. A year later it looks more like a suicide pact.

The tech world sided with Trump because "By daring to challenge the tech industry, Biden threatened the mogulsโ€™ business plans. Even worse, he hurt their feelings. โ€œItโ€™s impossible to exaggerate how offended they were,โ€ says Nick Clegg...Metaโ€™s president of global affairs until early this year"

Buffalo Soldiers.

Buffalo Soldiers.

#ResistanceRoots

Today in history, 1906: White residents of Brownsville, Texas, accuse Buffalo Soldiers stationed at nearby Ft. Brown of involvement in the shootings of a bartender and police lieutenant. The townspeople planted evidence against the African American men. /1

So many researchers, myself included, work many more hours than what we are funded (i.e. it's not uncommon to work 10hrs/week on a project that we're only getting 10% salary support). Rest-assured--NIH grants are NOT lining ANYONE's pocketbooks. Dumbass. #academicsky

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
