Heather Aruffo @haharuffo.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Some of the most important work we do and it pays dividends for up ballot races because it creates a bench of candidates with name recognition, strengthens the local progressive ecosystem, boosts volunteers turnout, all kinds of good things outside of the immediate policy benefits 110

Heather Aruffo @haharuffo.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Again to make the biotech comparison “the experiment went wrong” would also be a result of human incompetence or negligence. The AI industry would do well to study how the pharmaceutical industry makes sure that their clinical trials keep patients safe and apply the similar guardrails 030
