Fuck technofascism. It's destabilizing the world, climate, poisoning water and air, destroying culture, art, and government, and for what?
Egotism. We're going to have a smoldering cauldron of a world for tech bro egos.

*The AI boom = one of the costliest building sprees in world history
* Past 3 years' commitments are greater than the cost of building the U.S. interstate highway system
* Consumers must spend $800 billion on AI within a few years, to justify investment from 2023-24

One cannot strip away the liberties of another without consequence.
Learn from Mr Douglass. His words from 1852 are not irrelevant today but are, sadly, hauntingly more accurate than they should be in this modern age.
Equality & equity are the metrics of liberty & justice.

For decades, I've had a tradition of reading Frederick Douglass' caustically eloquent Fourth of July speech on this day. "How can enslaved people possibly celebrate Independence Day?" he asks.
This reading of that speech by James Earl Jones is perfect.
And it's so relevant to our current moment!

Yesterday I saw a post about a Republican member of Congress selling stock in a healthcare company right before the stock nosedived. We could have done a segment on it! The *facts* were true: he did own the stock, he did sell it, it did lose a ton of value, it was a healthcare stock.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.
Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

If you have the misfortune of spending the 4th with MAGA relatives, pour a strong drink, grab a sparkler, and brace yourself. When they start rewriting 1776, remind them: the Founders fought a king—not to install a new one in a red hat. Happy Independence Day. Light fireworks, not fascism.

249 years in—what are we building? A stronger union or the wreckage of a failed republic? Institutions are collapsing, truth is under siege, and the foundation is cracking. Is this renewal—or self-destruction dressed as patriotism?
Where are we headed—and what’s still worth fighting for?

Today is supposed to be a day celebrating America’s freedom from tyranny and oppression. Instead we have a Tangerine Tyrant in the White House tearing our nation apart. But no matter what we will not give up fighting for freedom and justice for ALL PEOPLE.

Great work guys, I’m sure the 17 million people about to lose their healthcare will be comforted to hear how much you care about them. That will totally have them overlook the fact you voted against it!
