Authoritarianism comes fast, Governor J. B. Pritzker told @markleibovich.bsky.social. “And if you’re not willing to stand up and push back while it’s happening in the early days,” Pritzker added, “it gets a lot harder later.” https://theatln.tc/DR3tXJ6E

“Each generation has had to learn how to work with its newly acquired cognitive prostheses, whether stylus, scroll, or smartphone,” Kwame Anthony Appiah writes—But what’s different with AI is its speed and the intimacy of the exchange with it. https://theatln.tc/6wgCQscd

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

A tweet from Robert Reich states:
“The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?”

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.

If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.

Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

What I’m learning about baseball is it’s a series of 1000 individual decisions and each one that doesn’t work is the worst decision ever that costs your team the game unless it works out in which case it’s genius.

Shortly before the shutdown, the USDA moved to scrap the Household Food Security Report, the nation’s primary tool for tracking food insecurity, and in doing so, stripped away the very infrastructure needed to remedy rising hunger in America.

The shutdown will worsen hunger—which the Trump administration just stopped tracking

Millions of women and children are at risk of losing food benefits.

This man must have been on the Omni ICE flight I tracked over the weekend. Meaning he spent more than 40 hours onboard shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a waist chain before being dropped off in a country he doesn’t appear to have ever been to.

This is such a non-issue! "Father's cousin" is a lot of syllables and if that's a person you see often since childhood, of course you're going to call them auntie.

There's a dogwhistle here too, of course.

In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."
