Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

Allegory alert!

You should get a library card if you don’t have one already. Then get the apps Libby and Hoopla. There you can download audiobooks and ebooks. So even if you don’t go to your local library a lot, you can still support them and the authors you love.

A Secretary of Defense who knew what he was doing would have read that speech before he gave it and then made sure to coordinate with the White House and NSC before reversing some 80 years of U.S. policy and leaving Europe in the lurch while the biggest war since the 1945 was underway.

@senatordawngile.bsky.social When will you introduce legislation mandating a four day work week in Maryland? Look into it. It works.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

This traditional reason for hyping Smoot-Hawley will, of course, be complicated by the fact that featly to Trump means that the people most likely to go this route are now obliged to say that tariffs are good, plus we have always been at war with Eastasia 5/

I'm having doubts about how far Trump will actually go on tariffs once he realizes that other countries can hit back. But if he did go through with his campaign pledges, it would be a bigger hit than Smoot-Hawley, which caused the Great Depression. Except it didn't 1/

I ask the people in power, with large platforms and public profiles: For the last few years, you have been saying what everyday Americans need to do. With Trump coming:

Isn't it your time to stand up?
Isn't it your time to show some heroism?
Isn't it your time to do what you expected from others?
