Same, it’s disgusting
I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

I have observed POVs from the product trio (design, product management, engineering) about AI and noticed that they tend to make similar observations across the board. Interestingly, whenever I have seen the business perspective, it always feels disconnected from those, almost forced

super bowl ad
not even kidding about this, do a super bowl ad about how Elon has your social security number and can shut off your grandma's check at any time

Maybe someone with the means to do so should take out a full-page ad in as many newspapers as they can that just says “ELON MUSK HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER”
"I just want to be clear about what's going on here."

the other thing about these moves is that the union becomes untenable if your access to the good faith and protection of the national government is contingent on whether you renounce your co-sovereignty as a state and submit to the whims of a president who has claimed sovereign authority
And schools are just one example.
Want to end resistance from blue states who won’t facilitate sending immigrants to Guantanamo? We’re turning off Social Security payments to your residents until your police start to comply with ICE. 9/x

Trump Orders Schools to Ease Sex Assault Rules
The new Title IX rules will provide more protections for those accused of sexual misconduct, and eliminate LGBT protections adopted under Biden.

Don’t let your craven non-confrontational nature allow you to ignore the obvious (hand) signs.

don't order books (or anything) from Amazon today! Instead, order from a small press, Bookshop, a local bookstore, or request a book from your local library. Yes, Amazon is "easy," but it's continuing to kill local businesses and concentrate wealth.
