Trump calls Somali Americans "garbage" and said today about Ilhan Omar: “She comes from a country that is a non-country." If he'd been alive in 1915, he would've said that about Italians. If it was 1850, he would've said it about the Irish. He traffics in ethnic hate. We have to stop him.

PSA, Colorado voters: Elon Musk’s America PAC has been sending misleading texts saying, “Your ballot request is in,” and asking voters to confirm where and when to return it. The messages have prompted confused residents to contact county election offices.

This is why the Luddites smashed machines. The factory owners decide what technology is to be used and how. They decide who is to benefit from technology and who suffers. That's how machines get smashed.

So much of what we’re living through right now, from Trump to AI, feels like it’s driven by an explicit strategy of “we just do the crimes so quickly that we can’t be stopped and by the time the courts weigh in, they have no choice but to accept our crimes.” www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-the-a...
