Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

It’s been a while but I was one the people who were highest on the first arc, e3 Harvest is my second or third favorite episode and the depiction of Tay Kolma as part of a planetary but not imperial bourgeois and how that contradicts his supposedly left views is one of my faves

Reupping this because you have 1 more day to vote! forms.gle/fU55gMJFx9xv...

For today's tease, here are the two pollsβ€”taken out of context from who's competingβ€”with the closest margins between them. The first one (red up) has 3 votes over the blue. The second one (blue up) has 9 more votes

Regardless of all that the US Senate is inherently anti-democratic in its representation and a single house based only on representation is a preferable parliamentary system. Conservatives know this and is in part why the senate exists in the first place, it checks the popular will

Democrats want this war on Iran!! Look at the rhetoric for the last 10 years! Obama might be the only prominent Democrat who didn’t constantly talk about attacking Iran. They get everything they want (war, friendship with Israel) while the GOP gets all the blame. Could not be better for them

pure speculation but because people are gonna say β€œit’s the Republicans! It was a party line vote”: if the republicans didn’t have the number, just enough Democrats would have crossed the aisle to support this. You cannot convince me otherwise

Abolishing the Senate is a sensible position, alongside the Electoral College and Supreme Court

Yes! I definitely view the handing of the election as when the political contract binding the parties was torn up and the moment Democrats became more concerned with β€œdecorum and norms” than an ideologically forward platform

Remember when they made a JOKER movie and Entertainment Weekly refused to assign a letter grade to it because they thought the film was too dangerous and irresponsible

Destabilizing the Middle East has been a long bipartisan project in the name of US capitalist imperialism. It's always been like this. Hillary even mentions Israel here, imagine that.

Cuba is in a major blackout now. No country brave enough to stop it. No people powerful enough to pressure their government. Bleak

It’s no mistake that I find β€œauthoritarian” and β€œtotalitarian” to be useless terms but nothing shows that more than recent days. Somehow a country led by a faction actively undermining democratic safeguards wantonly blackbagging people and murdering them in the street doesn’t qualify as either.

TLDR: preserve the "moderate" Gulf Arab states which are all US backed dictatorships and Metternichian monarchies and dismantle Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran.
