In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:

Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Generative AI is a tool of fascism. If you use it, you better be prepared to be shamed by people who actually like thinking.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

I heard someone say that we should be registering voters at gas stations.

I am going to No Kings tomorrow, but perceive widespread protest fatigue, so how about we at least come up with a new theme for the next one, @indivisible.org ? Maybe No Billionaires? Humans First? Just need some re-energizing out there...

The thing about technofascism is that is coming for everyone... (which is to say that we sorely need technoliberation).

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.

You want to know what insults Jesus?

Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Entering America illegally is a misdemeanor. Abusing children is a felony. We got the wrong folks in cages.

Don't know who this quote is from, but man...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

These times are such that I am downing positive astrological and psychic predictions with abandon.

We have a finite amount of time to spend thinking while on this earth and I am very resentful of how much of it has been monopolized by the whims of a demented old real estate scumbag

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
