Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

There aren't enough safeguards in the Constitution to protect against breathlessly stupid people...and the people who vote for them.

We know many of you are opting to write emails instead. Totally fine! But if you do so, we strongly advise against copy/pasting our call scripts into emails. Repetitious written msgs can easily get filtered out as form letters and trashed. Emails/letters are most effective w unique personal mgs! 🤓👍📞

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

Casual reminder to *only* call your own representatives. Calls to other reps will not get tallied but will block calls from actual constituents that can get tallied. 🤓👍📞

Amazing article.
"More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRASH OUT.
Folks are relying on you to be overstimulated, overwhelmed, & overcome so you won't resist.
Take breaks,

Be intentional with how you spend your time.
Be effective with how you spend your energy.
Support each other

Every review of AI is like: This isn’t very useful and it makes it harder to do simple tasks than if I just did it myself. Riddled with errors. Can’t see anyone using this. I feel stupider having tried this. That said I believe it will soon make human cognition redundant and eradicate us all.
