Hearing @inafried.bsky.social explicitly say “Palestine (a taboo word in many circles) and Gaza” when discussing the use of AI for military purposes is refreshing in the best way possible. #AxiosAI+SF
Have they condemned this specific situation where a candidate from their party is targeted with horrible racism and Islamophobia? If so, please let me know. If not, then their general statements are not nearly enough.
Why are @schumer.senate.gov, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, and the rest of @democrats.org silent about Islamophobia?
If you’d be outraged if they were silent about antisemitism, why aren’t you outraged that they’re silent now?
We’re killing them, they’re not killing us. That’s it. It’s racism and disregard for the lives of others. Don’t need 10,000 words.

It’s not Orwellian. It’s racism. We’re “not at war with Iran” as long as it’s just Iranians and other middle easterners dying.
They shouldn’t be able to even download Signal on their government phones, so this means they’re using two non-government phones for this chat!
It’s amazing that, even with 0 context, everyone knows this is about the fucking president of the United States! We’re fucked!
Go see No Other Land if you can. It’s no surprise that no U.S. distributor is brave enough to carry this incredible documentary. Hopefully an Oscars win will change that, but we shall see.
It’s amazing how much bullshit Martin Gurri spews in his interview with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. Ezra valiantly tries, and partially succeeds, in checking him, but just the volume of lies and nonsense is insurmountable.
Hope they’re happy they can say the r-word!
From the @financialtimes.com back in January: on.ft.com/3C7awSd
Contrast that with what a senior banker told the @financialtimes.com before the inauguration…
Guess you can’t have a good economy but at least you can use the r-word!
America was great when a government agency sent a man to the moon, and then continued to help us explore the cosmos.
What this administration is about to do to NASA is horrifying and antithetical to everything that makes this country worthwhile.
I wrote about what liberals and @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social can learn from @hegetsus.com and the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico.

I’ve seen multiple outlets, including the @nytimes.com and @financialtimes.com write out “the so-called department of government efficiency” and I’m down with that.
As the expected Christian Nationalism EO came in, I’m seeing a bunch of “this isn’t real Christianity” noise in my mentions.
Nope.
Christian friends. 1/x 🧵
This is 💯 part of the history of Christianity, dating to Constantine, to the Holy Roman Empire, forced conversions, Inquisitions, +
The conversation is also incredibly poignant, funny, and - in its own way - inspiring. Highly highly recommend.
Question is: What do we do now?
I’ve very rarely been as horrified as I was listening to @karaswisher.bsky.social’s conversation with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social on the Ezra Klein Show.
We need to stop the people in charge, otherwise we’re well and truly doomed. Not just minorities, not just the U.S., but as a species.
That’s when you’re SUPPOSED to march. Empty protests just to vent are useless distraction. Protesting when they don’t want you to, or won’t allow it, is the whole point.
Federal bathrooms will now be designated by penises and vaginas because that’s what’s on the GOP’s brains.
NYC mayor not NY governor.
Genuine question: Should non-white citizens (like myself) walk around with our citizenship documentation now? Do I need to carry my certificate of naturalization or U.S. passport on me at all times?
Kinda feels like a whole lotta people found out for the first time today that there's a very large, very vibrant progressive wing of Christianity (and religion in general).
Like, JUST boxers or under stuff?
Best part of last night!
And they STILL can’t tell I’m gay!
The female-impersonating-sex-bot accounts are here now, too?!
Can’t they just stay in incel land where they may be wanted?
Why does Vance need “multiple ambulances” as part of his motorcade??
So only if you were added to tops of Bluesky?
