In the tv show Dallas, J.R. Ewing's secretary was named for me.

Dem Candidate for Rep. Eric Swalwell’s Seat Donated to Far-Right Republicans — Including Laura Loomer Democratic primary hopeful Rakhi Israni, who is running for Rep. Eric Swalwell’s seat, gave to MAGA figures — including Laura Loomer.

👀 Israni, a first-time political candidate w/ a history of "Hindu nationalism advocacy" gave "cash" to "MAGA candidates, the Republican head of the evangelical Zionist group Christians United for Israel, anti-abortion candidates, and even far-right pundit Laura Loomer." @jsweetli.bsky.social #CA14

"That morning, Equality El Dorado, the town’s local LGBTQ+ organization, had posted on Facebook asking for volunteers to help drive trans Kansans to the DMV, as well as cash donations to help people cover the unexpected cost of a replacement license. "

Texans who want to help have a simple way to do so: offer to drive these folks home. Make as few or as many trips as your time, gasoline budget, and conscience allow.

The Impact+ Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Social Change is aligned with the federal strategic priority areas, which include responsible AI, democratic and community resilience, and humanities centred design. The research program will advance a global understanding of how AI technologies are designed, deployed, governed, and experienced in real-world social contexts. This research program may consider democratic institutions, public decision-making, civic participation, bias, accountability, surveillance and data sovereignty to contribute to the development of more inclusive and equitable AI practices.

This is a super interesting and frankly exciting opportunity for any US scholars focused on *critical* approaches to AI who may be looking to flee to Canada for obvious reasons.

Still time to write to your Senators (and get your friends to do the same). Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest--she's making money off it all. Just say no to the quack. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
