So the reason there have been no new features is because I live in Kansas and for the past year have been fighting like hell with my fellow activists to try and stop two bills from passing.

The two bills are SB 63 (kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...) and SB 244 (kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...)

It couldn't have been said better than by @prohero.stream themself.

Be the change you wish to see in the world, go out and make sure you put in the work for racial justice, not just here in chat, but out there in the world too!

The work needs to be done by us all every day! #BTB26

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

The massacre of Jews celebrating Chanukah in Australia is horrific. There's no truly safe place to be a Jew. Still, the guy who stopped one of the shooters, not Jewish himself, gives me some hope. That kind of cross-community solidarity is the only path to safety, not just for Jews but for everyone

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around β€œwokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.

What does this mean for you? It's getting harder and harder to know what is data-driven and what is spun, and now the CDC website has entered the arena. There are parts of CDC I still trust, and there remains an important distinction between political operatives and the scientists doing the real work. In other words, there is still information there that I trust only because I have firsthand insight from friends and colleagues I speak with every week. That's a privileged position to be in,
and it's not advice the general public can realistically rely on.
So, what do you do?
β€’ At this time, I suggest the general public avoid the CDC website. β€’ If you do go to the CDC website, avoid anything on vaccines, reproductive health,
environmental science, or health equity. β€’ Data systems are still largely under the control of states and CDC scientists. Flu
and wastewater data, for example, are good to go. β€’ Find trustworthy navigators outside the federal government, such as AAP, ACOG, and healthychildren.org, as well as many credible scientific communicators. (The Evidence Collective put together a comprehensive list of scientific communicators
and organizations for you here!)

🎯 FACT: The diverse cultures of Black and Indigenous people do not begin or end with European contact.

As #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth continues, engage kids in exploring the commonalities to their own cultures and experiences using #LearningForJustice's resource: https://bit.ly/3AGZXoi

Sometimes I think about how Napster & Grokster were immediately destroyed despite filesharing having clear non-infringing, time-shifting, & other positive uses, and yet AI tools like this, built on way worse infringement & used to lie & abuse in really gross ways, are huge parts of our economy now

All the emotions you need for a character to feel fully fleshed out - smiling slightly while looking to the left, smiling slightly while looking to the right, smiling slightly while closing your eyes and facing left.
