Don’t think this is a right time, place,or people for this practice

I love how headlines couch a very real problems with uncertainty so as to make sure to leave plenty of space for dismissal.

“AI is becoming an Authoritarian vehicle for thought control as Education continues to loose teachers to curriculum mandates and low wages”

Paints how I feel about this philosopher pretty well

We just hit 1,000 followers for our veteran-led network showing the next generation what positive masculinity is.

We aren't Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan. We're former fighter pilots, Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Marines, Officers and public servants.

Can you help us hit 5,000?

We have proven we can protest. Now we must take the next step to make clear that the people have the power

Today friends, I share a collection of books to help understand what we are all fighting against and how to get our minds straight

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

For those asking about the 3.5% rule...

YouTube video by CBS 8 San Diego Rally outside Camp Pendleton against deploying active duty military to Los Angeles

Following a weekend of turmoil in Los Angeles, including immigration raids and civil unrest, thousands of protesters gathered in front of Camp Pendleton on Sunday to protest the deployment of active duty military against civilians in Los Angeles.

As someone who lives in Los Angeles, don’t let social or mainstream media gaslight you into thinking there’s a violent uprising taking place here. The Trump administration is trying to punish this state and this city. He’s also setting a precedent to unleash troops on Democratic cities.

It’s scary af.

I want to make it clear that there is no state of "lawlessness" in Los Angeles right now. Any such reports from ANY media are parroting the regime's desires to weaponize our military against protestors.

*best* Yet I depend on autocorrect and am betrayed every time.

Sad isn’t it? Critical thinking is beast taught through art and literature classes. Thus AI seems so natural rather than soulless drek that has eyes of a video game character, moves like greased slow motion, and reads like a 5 grader wrote it.

This Will absolutely hurt military families. The amount of #EFMP (that exceptional family member program) in need of assistance within the military communities often prevents promising career posts for active duty due to the lack of support for the needs of spouses and children.

When speaking of empathy for those brave enough to flip, I have helpful thoughts.
It takes bravery to step away. Such a move can be admired, thus encouraging.
Empathy comes from understanding how hard it can be to escape the algo. Empathy comes from patience and speaking with people in person.

I have always said “patriarchy hurts everyone”
Severe gender roles created by a patriarchal social structure is a toxic structure. These social expectations are reinforced by parasitic corporations that offer products to ease the anxieties created by the system in the first place.

I honestly agree on this level-those that know the material and how to create it can tell when a student used a tool to game the system. Hold the student accountable.
If the student wants to be devalue the material and insult the instructor let them reap what they’ve sown

I want to thank @demguardrails.bsky.social for bringing this to my attention.
My fellow Veterans I challenge you all to restate the oath we all took in service & defense of OUR country. It’s time to fight back against this Domestic enemy.

250 years ago, Americans rejected a mad king.

On June 14, we’re taking to the streets again for a nationwide day of defiance to say NO KINGS.

Over 600 events are planned in all 50 states to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

How to establish a fascist regime
Silence the arts
#artisresistance

🧵2/ Trump spent $100M on golf, wants a $45M military parade for his birthday, and is cutting 83,000 VA jobs. But sure—he cares about veterans. This isn’t patriotism. It’s fascist bait-and-switch politics, using marginalized people as pawns.
