Walz: ‘Next Democratic president better figure out a way to get universal health care’ Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) advised the next Democratic president to focus on passing universal healthcare, a policy measure that has been hotly debated within the party in recent years. “We have t…

#Walz is spot on regarding Universal Healthcare.

The Democratic Party has to start delivering real change, not just empty words. I do not trust the old guard, to include #Larsen, to go along with this change for the future.

It will take rebuilding the party from the ground up.

#AIPACRick is part of this group of Democrats who simply want to mandate "disclosing" dark money as if that makes it okay to accept it.

It is TAKING the money that is the problem. The simple fact that #Larsen accepts #AIPAC and corporate PAC money makes you wonder who he really represents...

Google Broke Its Promise to Me. Now ICE Has My Data. In 2025, Google gave Amandla Thomas-Johnson's data to ICE without giving him the chance to challenge the subpoena, breaking a nearly decade-long promise to notify users before handing their data to la...

#Google simply handing the data over to #ICE highlights the problem with the third party doctrine.

Our lives have become so digital that much of our "private" life is held by external corporations.

It is our data, not theirs. Bring back the 4th amendment protections.

Virginia joins a national effort to ensure only popular vote winners become president With Virginia on board, the National Popular Vote Compact is now enacted in states worth 222 electoral votes. Here's what that means.

One step closer to true representation. Great job #Virginia and I look forward to more states signing the compact.

With any luck, we can also repeal the Reapportionment Act of 1929 as well to return to a sane citizen to representative ratio.

Republican Tony Gonzales to step down from Congress amid expulsion threat Gonzales, who admitted affair with aide who later died by suicide, says he will file retirement from office on Tuesday

Well I'll be damned... I did not see this one coming. I would have bet that #Gonzalez would have stayed in the seat until they literally forced him out.

Glad to be proven wrong

Rep. Eric Swalwell resigns from U.S. House after sexual misconduct allegations Rep. Eric Swalwell was a leading candidate for California governor but faced growing calls to resign after allegations of sexual misconduct were published last week.

If only every politician who committed heinous crimes would have the decency to resign like #Swalwell has.

#Gonzalez is on everyone's mind as a clear mirror to this, yet I fear he will follow in #Trump 's footsteps and continue in politics despite his crimes.

Minnesota investigates the arrest by ICE of a Hmong American man as a possible kidnapping A Minnesota county is investigating the arrest by federal officers of a Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping, burglary and false imprisonment.

Hold #ICE accountable and arrest them when they violate the law.

It is imperative that we investigate and prosecute every criminal act they have performed under the #Trump administration's illegal use of them.

Netanyahu Reveals Trump Reports to Him Every Day on Iran Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a bombshell confession as U.S.-Iran talks failed.

I look forward to the day that #Israel does not have the outsized influence on our government that they have today.

This war with #Iran is a direct result of our politicians taking money from #AIPAC, to include #Larsen

Our government is supposed to represent our interests, not special interests.

Exclusive: Four women describe sexual misconduct by Rep. Eric Swalwell, including a former staffer who says he raped her | CNN A former staffer of Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading Democratic candidate for California governor, says that the congressman raped her when she was heavily intoxicated, an allegation Swalwell strongly de...

It is important we hold everyone accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.

The allegations against Rep #Swalwell are a reminder that far too many of our politicians abuse their position for personal gain.

... I want so much better for us as a country 😞

Try not to get scammed while looking for work | Bogdan Chadkin Couple weeks ago a CTO contacted me about a role at their company. After three failed calls, I figured they are trying to access my machine.

In light of the recent #Axios Supply Chain Attack, I recommend that EVERYONE read through this article detailing how it occurred.

Do not shame or insult those who fall victim to these scams, otherwise future victims might not admit to it. This is a learning opportunity for us all.

YouTube chat logs reveal employees aimed for “viewer addiction” and scrapped safety tools - Dexerto Newly unsealed court documents claim YouTube employees internally discussed prioritizing “viewer addiction.”

One more line item on the list of "things that should be illegal but are not."

Choosing to do this and implement this is absolutely depraved behavior. On par with cigarette companies decades ago.

I Decompiled the White House's New App The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

Security vulnerabilities, stolen content, location monitoring... Just par for the course for #Trump and his administration.

I was glad to be part of the #NoKings protest in Bellingham, WA. It was something my son will never forget, I am sure. Thank you to everyone who was there.

Horses are not simple math, nor do they have innumerable uses beyond simply chatbots.

Have you looked at how neural networks are being used to find new cures to disease? How they are used by astrophysicists?

Just because you hate them, does not mean they are going away.

No they will not. We will forever live in a world where they exist.

You can put your head in the sand and pretend this will be resolved by people choosing to not use them or banning them, but that will only mean finding the actual solutions to these problems will take longer.

4/ Those are the kinds of questions we should be asking ourselves.

The longer we take to answer them, the harder this is going to be on society. We're already seeing people lose jobs because of AI use, and it will only get worse as time goes on.

We cannot pretend we can undo this. /end

3/ This means, the question isn't how do you stop the use of LLMs entirely, but how do you live in a world where they are used?

How do we restructure what we do so that students are properly taught? How professions still have paths for novices to get their foot in the door?

Fooled by Fakes: How the Toupee Fallacy Blinds Us to High-Quality AI Content “The bias to believe and confirm is stronger than the bias to doubt and disconfirm, which is why false beliefs are difficult to correct.”

2/ Detecting their use will grow increasingly difficult. If you can build a detector to determine if something is the output of an LLM then that detector can be used to train the LLM to be undetectable.

Those of you who are confident you can detect AI output are falling prey to the toupee fallacy.

1/ LLMs are just math, full stop. They are not going away for the same reasons that you can unteach a child that 2+2=4.

We will forever live in a world where they exist, and they _will be used_. They can be made on home computers, so deleting all of them is impossible.

It should be illegal for the government to award contracts that do not meet their area's labor standards.

Either you believe those are the minimum standards, or you do not. Choosing Florida over local for the cost difference proves that their stance on their labor standards are only words.

She is courageous, and her coming out about the abuses she suffered will hopefully give other abuse survivors the courage to do the same.

We honor Ms. Huerta. At nearly 96, she broke decades of silence. She chose the truth over the comfort of legacy.

You were betrayed twice. By the people who harmed you and by systems built to protect them. Your refusal to be silent is what changes everything.

Not only is #Trump and co asking for #Iran funding, but the economic impact of this has yet to be really felt.

They are taking money that could have been used on the people while simultaneously making everything more expensive and all of us less safe.

What a massive clusterfuck (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
