Went to a flower wholesaler down in San Jose. Everyone there but me was Hispanic or Asian. I love California so much.

Iโ€™m hoping for the force of citizensโ€™ rage and (yes) โ€œreasonโ€ to prevail. But if that doesnโ€™t happen, the concept of a plan for spray painting the moon? A document of its time, fully in keeping with the crypto bubble/fraud and the aesthetics of the Interior Desecrator in Chief.

Sunset on a lake in Maine. The orange sun throws beams across the sky over purple mountains. Itโ€™s all reflected in silver water. Thereโ€™s a black island in the centre of the lake

Prepare for a Democrat midterm blowout (plus we are going to make this happen)!

Also, until someone attaches visual, auditory and olfactory sensors to an AI model, and that model can perform very large number functions/analysis, I think the bounds remain.

The Democratic brand is so hammered in red states that a unique approach would be to identify yourself more with a single issue that blossoms into a larger progressive, freedom-based theme.

a) the set of things it can do if requested is bounded b) if you feel there's no difference between "thinking" and performing tasks I'm not quite sure how to have this discussion c) but if by "matter" you mean, make an economic impact, I agree with your second sentence.

Exactly. I don't deny that LLM's ability to model sentences from large languages;) is impressive but it is not yet thought

Isn't this the same 30% of the country that is MAGA? Those who are dug in?

In 2024 Democrats lost the House by just three seats, giving Republicans the narrowest majority in nearly 100 years. Also in 2024, **Democrat Adam Gray flipped Cali...

Here's how we won the tightest House race in the country in 2024. mobilize.us/s/8jxn6U

I am really interested to hear.

Are Wall Street and the tech bros and the remaining old-school Republicans REALLY going to do nothing to stop this? What about the manufacturing CEOs? The heads of creative businesses? Law firms? NOBODY?

We had better start registering young voters. And preparing for what, civil disobedience?

I had a good friend, in the 80s and 90s, who had been a journalist in Colombia and married an American and moved here. She told me the same thing.

Deaths by cancer and Alzheimer's and measles and new diseases because grants were cancelled.

Taking control of the House and Senate, or even just the House, will accomplish more than anything the Democratic officials now in place can hope to do. Maybe we can focus on a goal, rather than rage.

Deaths in poor America from denial of medical care and reproductive rights. Deaths of immigrants in cages. Deaths by suicide of LBGTQ youth denied their chance at happiness. Deaths in Africa from US aid withdrawn.

Please, please read this. And donate. If you take the wide view, Republican/autocratic/1% control of the USA will cause and is causing more harm to the marginalized than any single other event. Military deaths in Palestine and Ukraine. Hate crimes in the USA encouraged by official language. 1/x

What's happening in L.A. rn:

Federal govt:
Even though a federal judge prohibited it, Trump regime/
DHS/ICE is showing it will still snatch random people believed to be Spanish speakers.

City govt:
Contrary to federal court order, police are assaulting and threatening to arrest the press corps.

You might not be wrong. It did pop up round about the "Stalin was good, actually," ideas.
