A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

The core of the problem is real solutions mean going against the interests of the very wealthy and that is seen as political suicide. This is doubly true after Citizens United and related rulings. Building a grass roots coalition is the answer but current dem leadership has no clue how to do that.

it gets tiring to keep explaining what it means to be poor to people.

it is not that poor people don’t know that cooking is cheaper:

cooking costs time. it costs pots and pans. it costs a working stove and your utilities on. it costs you’ve been on your feet all day and your babies are tired.

When I see the rush to have AI making decisions that affect people’s lives I think about the UK Post Office fiasco where innocent people got their lives destroyed by government trust of crap software. Standards for software reliability are shit because there’s no liability for the sellers.

When the future is a bleak wasteland of shattered dreams it’s hard to scrimp and save, especially when there’s a small comfort available right now.

Christian Zionism will adapt to endorse forced deportation of American Jews to Israel.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

It’s an honor to be blacklisted by this administration.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

YouTube video by Farm to Taber ICE Raids Are Only Half The Story

This video gives an insightful take, from the perspective of someone who is a farmer and hates the exploitation of undocumented labor. Long story short, it’s so much worse than most people think.

The oligarchs know that Trump is obsessed with his ballroom. They also know that flattering him is the only way to get him to do what they want. That’s what’s behind the slew of pro-ballroom op-eds. The audience for the WaPo is one person, it doesn’t matter how many subscribers they lose.

The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

They care about power, not money. Money is how they buy power, but the key thing is not absolute wealth, it’s relative wealth. If they lose 25% of their wealth they’ll be fine. If that’s the price of making everyone else lose 50%, they’ve gained enormous power.

She already had cult experience before joining the Trump administration so she’s perfect for the job.

What Virginia Giuffre Taught Me About Being Believed I traveled around the country with Virginia Giuffre as she searched for someone, anyone, who would believe her story. In death, the world finally does.

A powerful piece by @tarapalmeri.bsky.social about Virginia Guiffre and her quest for the truth. Today, Giuffre's book launches. I'm glad the truth is out there.

What is most tragic reading this is how many people participated in Epstein's and Maxwell's scheme, in large and small ways.
...

A couple of years ago, a client of mine was attacked in their apartment by an abusive partner. The police were called. Charges were pressed against the abusive partner, who later pleaded guilty.
The landlord filed an eviction action against Client for *allowing* a crime to occur in their unit.

Supporters of Epstein’s best friend want to be able to buy little girls.

By this guy’s standards Epstein’s crime was that he didn’t buy the children he raped.

These people are monsters.

Violence is bad. But when someone attempting violence ends up only hurting themselves… That’s just plain funny.

An easy way to grow one’s social media presence is to attack a prominent public figure, especially one who is harmless and well liked.

But you knew that, didn’t you George. Or should I say Magnodangu, King of the Lizard People! I’ve got video where you lick your eyes! I’ll to post it real soon!

One of the most damaging myths about the American economy is that hard work translates to higher pay, and that people who are paid less don't work as hard as those who are paid more.

In reality, it's largely the opposite that's true.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

It’s me. I’m funding it. Or at least I’m funding my own participation in it. Between metro fares and some water it’s almost 20 dollars. Throw in a nice sign and it almost doubles! Luckily I’m a hundredaire so I can easily afford it.

Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s entire “club fed” prison camp was placed on lockdown so she could meet with an unidentified visitor. 🧵 ⬇️

Her turn away from him coincided with his refusal to endorse her for a Senate run. It might be that she’s seen the light but more likely it’s the typical back stabbing egomania that drives Trump and his penumbra of mediocrities.

Say “I know this isn’t what you signed up for. Sooner or later you’ll be asked to do something you know is wrong. When you say no I will be there for you the way you would for me in a flood, earthquake, or other emergency. We are neighbors and fellow Americans, not enemies. Stay strong."
