It only stands to reason that if sexist, racist men are the ones creating the AI, that the AI would be sexist and racist as well.

We don't all have to stand in front of tanks, but if each of us rebels in our own way, we would be an unstoppable force. #AltCitizen
On June 5, 1989, an unidentified man made history by stepping in front of a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. No one knows who he was, what motivated him to put his life on the line, or what happened to him afterward. #AltCitizen 1/

Something I hope everyone covers this tomorrow notes is that...the President has no authority whatsoever to make trade deals without congress. None. Not even the pretext of one.
New: Trump is expected to announce on Thursday that the US will strike a trade deal with the UK, according to a person familiar with the matter, the first agreement for the administration since it imposed sweeping tariffs against its trading partners last month @theguardian.com story TK

NEW — I’ve obtained audio of new acting FEMA head David Richardson threatening staff in an all hands meeting this morning.

As first reported by Reuters, he told those who resisted change in the agency, “Don’t get in my way…I will run right over you.”

We gotta get loud about this 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in *shock*—and who could blame him?

Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens.

This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬

Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Great @thedailybeast.bsky.social reporting relies on a brave Social Security field office whistleblower (an AFGE union steward) who reports that it isn't just immigrants getting the declared-dead-while-alive treatment from DOGE.
Elon Musk and his DOGE foot soldiers have effectively “killed” countless citizens through their database meddling.

Now, those living dead are showing up at Social Security offices looking to be resurrected.

this is some unbelievable cowardly shit, they're going to try to strangle medicaid, and they're going to blame it on the states. call your reps and call your senators and tell them you can see what they're doing.
Austin Scott previews how House Rs plan to cut Medicaid: "The federal govt is paying 90% of the Medicaid expansion. What we've talked about is moving that 90% level of the expansion back... nobody would be kicked off Medicaid as long as governors decided they wanted to continue to fund the program"
