In its present trajectory, AI will definitely wipe out humans. But it won’t be due to some Terminator-style fantasy. It will because its data centers will render the environment unfit for human survival.

The Greatest Generation was not Antifa. They fought against German and Japanese imperialism but then practiced Fascism when they came home. And then shipped out the Boomers to fight their own imperialist war.

FDR was the first Democratic Socialist president. How do you feel about what he accomplished, including the FDIC and SSA?

First, “Medicare for All” is a cool slogan, but we need better. Medicare is too expensive. That being said, universal healthcare would take the burden of healthcare administration and subsidies off of corporations. It’s hard to believe that there isn’t more corporate pressure for it.

We braved the wilds of downtown Santa Barbara during Fiesta and as appropriate for Old Spanish Days, saw a samurai movie and ate ramen.

Haley Stevens is going to be Kyrsten Sinema in the Senate. Don't say you weren't warned.

If you got so drunk that you didn’t know you raped someone (if it’s even true that you don’t remember), why would that make the rape okay?

I wonder if we’ll ever see the day when people realize that gender is sociopolitical and not biological.

This is Dora, short for Dorabella. She is NOT “a very good girl.” She is feisty and opinionated and plays hard. She is absolutely adorable.

So, the revelation that Platner is a racist, misogynistic lowlife has boosted him in the polls. Mainers just needed to find someone worse than Susan Collins, not better.

Gender is like race. It takes differentiated physical characteristics and imposes a hierarchy of stereotypes on the individual that most often prevents them from fully expressing who they are. Gender is as comfortable as scratchy sweaters. Some people can withstand the discomfort better than others.

Voting for me is easy. You can write my name in the write-in box and then fill in the bubbles accordingly. If you need to pull out your phone to look up how to spell my name, that’s completely fine. I hope I can earn a first place ranking on your ballot. Andreaformaine.com

What [Gov Mikie Sherrill] has done is to make it easier by far for ICE to operate with no oversight or accountability in the state of New Jersey. …what she’s done now is gas, kettle, flashbang, shoot with less lethal, and arrest her own constituents—today’s broadcast www.youtube.com/live/cQeM7cc...

Not sure who needs the reminder, but ICE detention centers are actually for-profit concentration camps that are generating billions in revenue for rich prison contractors… Mad yet?!

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

If there is one lesson to be learned today, it’s that the line between law enforcement (the police) and state-sponsored terrorism (ICE and CBP) is a thin line, if at all.

I’m doing the numbers on Medicare. Out of the box, Part A only provides 80% of catastrophic coverage. For full medical coverage, for a family of four, it would require $811.60/month. To cover the 20% requires Part G, another $1000/month. Add another $40/month for Part D drug coverage.

Before this country was born, white people here abducted non-white people and put them in concentration camps. They called them plantations. Later in our history, they called them prisons. Now, we call them detention centers.

Kamala Harris is a loud and proud Black Asian woman with a Jewish husband. That’s why she barely lost the election. If the left wing pretends they are not racist and sexist but then they are inclined to believe any disinformation the right wing cooks up.
