i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

Taught the Fugitive Slave Act for the first time in a few years. Man, my head was spinning as I uttered my familiar refrain about how the FSA radicalized Northerners who maybe never thought much about slavery until they saw people being snatched off the street right in front of them...

1) it's not gender-affirming care when it's being foisted upon ppl w/o their consent. this policy is *invasive* 2) anti-trans GAC legislation is *also invasive* as it's designed to take away control of our own bodies. LET'S CALL IT INVASIVE! LET'S PROMOTE BODILY AUTONOMY RATHER THAN MAKING GAC JOKES

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"

Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”

Hypothesis on how his brain works re: regime change. Trump thinks that he embodies the state and the nation, and so he thinks that every other country's leader does the same. So if you kidnap Maduro, you beat Venezuela. You kill Khomeini, you beat Iran. Etc, etc.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak. But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

Screenshot of an article from the editors of The Nation. A photo shows students holding signs in the cold, with one in the center that reads: AMERICA CANNOT BE GREAT WHILE RULED WITH HATE. 

Text reads: The Nation Nominates Minneapolis for the Nobel Peace Prize

With their resistance to violent authoritarianism, the people of Minneapolis have renewed the spirit of Dr. King’s call for “the positive affirmation of peace.”

Hate ICE as much as you love your fellow man. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
But what the images of Liam also do is show the reality of the immigrants that ICE is spiriting off to faraway prisons, where the detained have few rights. In the pleading tone of the officials at Liam’s school – who had to tell an ICE vehicle to leave them alone while they were giving their press conference about his arrest – I can hear the reality that so many native-born Americans are now confronting: that the immigrants that ICE is stealing belong to us. Liam belongs to us the way that every child belongs to us – the way that their innocence and vulnerability make them our responsibility. But the adult immigrants who are being stolen belong to us, too – they belong to us in the sense that proximity, and familiarity, and regular interaction bring us all into a community of principle and mutual care, make us all our brother’s keeper, and calls on us to love our neighbors.

Liam’s loved ones miss him as their friend, their son, and their student; we are enraged and scared for him as a child and as a fellow human being. It is the guiding philosophy of the white supremacists shaping immigration policy in the Trump administration that mankind is not one community, that we must not care for all of our fellows equally. The wrongness and evil of this idea is evident in Liam’s face.

On Friday, just days after Liam’s capture, thousands of his neighbors in Minneapolis took to the streets to protest ICE’s presence in their city. In them we can see a noble, even heroic counterexample, the other side of America: they hate ICE in proportion to how much they love their fellow man.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

A stylized light and dark blue hand grasps a red ice pick that is stabbing down into a block of solid ice, which is also blue. There's small cracks forming. Below it says in red, "Chip away at them." Below that in light blue it says, "Small acts add up - protect your neighbors."

because from my vantage point, the white house does not have a win condition. like so many past occupiers, it seems to believe that a sufficient show of force will deter opposition. but like most occupations, the only thing you get with more force is greater resolve.
