Take Trump literally and seriously. Banish into the sun all the hacks who told us we were being hysterical & radical. Ignore them forever.

That’s where the culture wars come in handy. Distract people with fear so that they tolerate the money grab from tax policies that favor the wealthy and deregulation of consumer protections.
America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Democrats at the highest levels must admit that Trump and his minions are a criminal organization and forcefully say so at every opportunity.
And they must have a sweeping and comprehensive strategy to rebuild a better constitutional democracy from what’s left of Trump’s mafia state.

We’re in a situation where bot farms can spread disinformation, which will then be picked up and disseminated by LLMs to a population that believes generative AI is some kind of arbiter of truth.
And our so-called elected officials are passing legislation to STOP regulation on LLMs.

And where do all of those lost wages go from the personnel reductions this will make possible? You can guess.
I thought the Indeed AI Work Report was pretty fascinating. In particular this chart that goes skill by skill and breaks down how much each will be transformed by AI. It reinforces that few jobs will go away completely due to AI, but the vast majority will be transformed by it to some degree.

Remember when MSNBC devoted months of their entire primetime lineup to the Mueller Report, hyping it as the bombshell that would bring down Trump? That's why I'm skeptical about Epstein being Trump's doom. We've been burned too many times already.

"The authoritarian doesn’t need to win arguments or offer genuine compromise. They need only inflict enough pain that resistance becomes morally unbearable... It’s a nasty tactic but an effective one. Create unbearable suffering...Then offer relief in exchange for political surrender."
What’s the difference between compromise and capitulation? Compromise trades concessions. Capitulation pays ransom to stop deliberate suffering, and teaches your opponent that coercion works. There are effective responses to coercive bargaining. What we saw was not one of them.
