Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

no see using these photos would be beneath the Times, which would never take material from a dubious source, unless it was, say, hacked documents showing that a guy born in Africa had put 'African-American' on his application form for a university he didn't get into. You know, something important.
Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies

In short, force them to try to rule by naked force because they *do not* have enough force and the very nakedness of it will mean they have less and less.
The Civil Rights movement overcame far more with far less, if we had a fraction of their courage, we'll win.

Pardon me, but while MAGA and Trump may want to use it that way, we don't need to let them.
I think it is absolutely the case that Trump aspires to be something like a fascist dictator, I said so last October.
But we are not powerless and they have not won yet.

It's pretty clear that they got their Reichstag Fire with the Kirk assassination. Democracy is dead.

I think the best place to be right now is deeply worried but stopping short of going full Doomer to remember that Donald Trump has like a 34% approval rating and if you’ve already granted him God-King powers in your mind you’re falling for what he wants everyone falling for.
Crucial to distinguish between
a) the Right claiming the Kirk murder is akin to the 1933 Reichstag fire (and demanding drastic state repression in response)
and
b) an actual comparison between the situation in the United States today and Germany in early 1933.

A few thoughts on both:
I had a great conversation with @lincolnsquare.media about where we are today: About political violence and the Right’s desire for escalation.
But also about how we got here: About the recent history of the GOP and the rise of Trumpism. And, finally, about where America might go from here:

Important to recognize that he is a coward and a loser and his regime is unpopular and he cannot do this. literally, this is impossible, unless people think and act like he can because they think he can do it legitimately or are scared of him. Don’t be.

My take on this is that racist and hateful parents are livid that their kids are coming home on Thanksgiving break of freshman year and telling their family about new friends of other races and sexual orientation and the parents consider that indoctrination
If one takes the "colleges are indoctrinating your kids" argument at face value (a big if), it suggests people have a very low opinion of their own children.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Surely part of it, but explicitly calling for public opposition, protests, and to film and report everything also played a part IMO. Pritzker gave a greenlight and encouragement to that in a way others didn't, and that made an immediate difference.
Leaders *can* mobilize public opinion and action.

My guess is that his threat to prosecute feds who violate the rights of Chicagoans did it. Every D governor and AG should be making the same promise.
