Sexual violence is fundamentally an abuse of power. In order to stop it, we have to fix the power imbalances that enable it. Institutional responses, across the board, serve the institutions and do not challenge power dynamics, which is why they don't provide survivors with justice.

The data doesn’t lie and my report with @markey.senate.gov makes it plain: Fare-free transit has connected communities, improved mobility, & made life more affordable for folks across MA. Congress must pass our Freedom to Move Act to make fare-free transit a reality nationwide.

An article by the Daily Hampshire Gazette titled: With Massachusetts as model, Markey and Pressley propose $5B to expand fare-free transit nationwide

We need to protect Social Security for the next generation.

$The Social Security payroll tax is capped at $184,500 in income. So if you're a nurse or construction worker, you pay Social Security on 100% of your income. But if you're a lawyer raking in millions, you only pay Social Security on a tiny fraction of your income. That is not right.$

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

When did the Democrats really give in completely to the GOP's worldview that providing services isn't worth the taxes paid? I sort of think it started with Muskie coining the "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help" joke before Reagan ever used it, but maybe it was always there?

OH MY HEART...the Oberlin Luddites Reject "The Year of AI Exploration"! 💚

photograph or a poster on cream colored paper. "Dear President Ambar,
we are writing to you on a typewriter that is over 70 years old. This is a
machine that we all know well. With it, we misspell words without the crutch of spell check or generative AI and we think intently about every phrase we pound out. As we force ourselves, for once, to slow down, we engage in a cognitive dialogue with ourselves. We do not seek perfection because we know that education is about the growing and challenging of our young minds' potential, not the chasing of institutional 'gold-star' approval. We do not believe that your so-called 'Year of AI Exploration; providing enterprise ChatGPT and Google Gemini subscriptions to every Oberlin student aligns with our college's founding principles. You claim that this year will be one of experimentation, not adoption. But even just one semester of accepted (encouraged even) chat bot use will jettison our student body down a lazy and irredeemable tunnel of intellectual destruction. We are a college grounded in learning and labor, which now risks straying from these rooted ideals. With ChatGPT at the helm, our emails, essays,and discussion posts will be generated for us, not by us. And let's not fool ourselves. This is precisely what these platforms will be used for by our busy, anxious student body. We see your vision for this year as.advancing the college's 'businessification'--an alarming trend also seen in the takeover of our beloved library cafe by a 'bookstore' with no books in stock and an app replacing customer service. In one instance, the college assumes we want efficiency at all costs through automated rather than hand pulled coffee. In the other lies the false belief that we simply desire to turn in an essay, regardless of how little we've written of it." there's more that doesn't fit in the 2000 character limit :(

This captures two of my big beefs with AI: (1) Writing is thinking. If you use AI to write, you are foreclosing your own thinking. (2) Sucking at something is the first step to getting better at something. The practice is the work. AI will only help you suck in a different and more depressing way.

Truly hilarious headline from the Bezos-owned Washington Post yesterday. Never, ever let the guys who control half the wealth in America and just got billions of dollars in tax breaks tell you we shouldn't tax the rich.

Little to gain by raising taxes on the rich
New research shows the current top federal income tax rate is close to revenue-maximizing.

America has a taste for means-testing safety net policies, and not investing in state capacity to manage the resulting complexity. We focus a lot on how this makes life harder for clients, but it also creates the conditions where private actors who offer to solve this problem can extract rents.

Today, Equifax extracts over $800 million worth of contracts from the federal government and state governments each year. Much of that total is for access to its Workforce Solutions product, the Work Number, which provides data on workers’ income and employment. The Work Number’s basic business model is to purchase exclusive rights to worker data from employers and payroll providers (often without a worker’s knowledge) and then sell that data to banks, creditors, and governments for a profit.
