A photo of a large group of protesters gathering in downtown Chicago near Michigan Ave. Skyscrapers are behind the crowd in the background.
Now: Hundreds assembling in the Chicago Loop for a march and rally to demand the National Guard leave town. Folks chanting "Donald Trump you racist clown! You're not welcome in this town!"

While not to dissuade, it's worth noting that non-US proprietary tech can be sold to the US at any time. Seek out free/libre apps first if you can (eg Nextcloud et al, like Paris mentions) + always look for non-US servers. If you live in US, a server co-op can be a good option.

Thx. I talked to them, it was fine. I go to this church whenever I am in this city. As @prisonculture.bsky.social says we have to be in relationship with each other, so that we have soft places to land when we inevitably have conflict or accidentally hurt each other bsky.app/profile/tuck...
29.09.2025 07:24 β π 31 π 2 π¬ 1 π 1Is it too much to ask for leaders unafraid to stand up for what they believe? The only reason Trump's gunthugs aren't here in NY already is bc he fears backlash from the left in Nov. Whatever Z's shortcomings, Cuomo/Jeffries/Schumer gave up before the fight even got started.

Billionaires need as many of us in prison as possible to make sure their precious profits keep going up
28.09.2025 21:33 β π 128 π 51 π¬ 3 π 0We don't. Like how down-ballot Dems didn't want Biden stumping for them in 24 or won't openly endorse Schumer for leader now. They're politically toxic to voters, only the donors prop them up. If the party doesn't rebuke them, there won't be Dems on any ballot come 2028.

(srsly tho, each season at least 2 or 3 contestants have their shelter catch fire with them asleep in it, and somebody's gotta medivac in from 50 miles away before they get any help)
Point out where I'm wrong, please.
And do it here where everyone can see.

We want his and Chuck's resignation for shitting on working ppl for a combined 68 years, then committing a genocide, then rolling over and playing dead for a fascist coup. It's really not that complicated.

28.09.2025 20:43 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0They sent Slick Willie to MI a week before the election to scold Muslim voters about "Judea & Samaria" and tell them how Palestinian lives weren't worth as much Israeli lives. Dem leadership should never be allowed to live that down unless there is fundamental change or the party ceases to exist.
26.09.2025 05:20 β π 31 π 5 π¬ 0 π 0The 6th US party system is over & the Dem party (as constituted) will be lucky if it survives to next Nov. A state-by-state coalition of Greens and Reds in 2026 could knock Dems off the ballot by 2028 (if there still are ballots by then) or crash the convention to overturn it from within.
26.09.2025 05:05 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Clip from The AI Con: But when referring to these technologies in general, we will sometimes use the shorthand abbreviation of βAIβ. We want to keep a critical distance from the term: Every time we write βAIβ, imagine we have a set of scare quotes around it. Or if you prefer, replace it with a ridiculous phrase. Some of our favorites include βmathy mathsβ, βa racist pile of linear algebraβ, βstochastic parrotsβ (referring to large language models specifically), or Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences (aka SALAMI).
In our book we call them a few things:
synthetic media extrusion machines
spicy autocomplete
a racist pile of linear algebra
mathy maths
stochastic parrots
Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences (or SALAMI, thanks Stefano Quintarelli)

If you told me I could have a great review of my new book from the NYT or from Cory Doctorow, I'd take the latter in a heartbeat

And if you can excuse the genocide & oppression of ppl who don't look, speak or believe as you do, just b/c Team Blue was the offending party, you've succumbed to a form of bigotry peculiar to moderate white liberals but no less immoral than naked fascism.

If the only way you're willing to fight fascists is every 2 or 4 years at the ballot box, you've already capitulated, and I feel sorry for you on that account.

Finally Mastodon's terrible "DM" design is having good results.
(For those that don't know, Truth Social is a fork of Mastodon from like 5 years ago, with all the activitypub stuff removed)
Resist & better our lives how exactly? By waging economic warfare on workers during a pandemic? By drilling more oil, deporting more families, building more prisons & militarizing more cops in an attempt to outpace R's? By cracking skulls on campuses when kids protest a genocide armed/funded by D's?
