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

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenβ€”and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

No wonder Congress isn’t doing its job. The GOP doesn’t want to work.

Instead of reclaiming their constitutional authority from the executive branch, they’re handing it over.

That’s how democracies erode. Until one day you wake up and realize it’s gone.

Will ours survive?

American Women Who Were Anti-Suffragettes Who were the women who worked against voting rights for women in the early 20th century? Some were involved in community and charity β€” but not electoral politics.

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️

🧡 Let's talk about some history of another oppressed group of people in America.

Women.

Did you know that some of the loudest voices against women's suffrage were other women?(cont)

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

‼️‼️‼️ Renee Good did NOT deserve to have her brains blown out in front of her dog for not complying with armed vigilantes who were terrorizing HER community.

You simply arrest, fine and release.

YOU DO NOT MURDER!

How is Kristi Noem paying $270 million for these luxury jets, one of them including a bedroom, full kitchen, and bar? Using YOUR tax dollars.

Instead of dodging questions, Kristi Noem should give the American people an explanation immediately as to why she’s wasting your money.
