The problem is that this *is* America and has been for a long time - but violence was unevenly distributed and largely “invisible.” State violence against people of color is basically the broth of the American soup. What’s changed is everyone has a camera and bullhorn with them at all times.

Democrats can pass an enforceable Code of Ethics in Jan, 2027. They just need to threathen to DEUND SCOTUS if they don't comply. Justices don't have a constitutional right to have thier dry cleaning paid for. Nor do they have a right to security. Dems, use your power or resign!

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.

Mentoring with @runforsomething.net means meeting young progressives running in seats long uncontested. Simply being on the ballot expands democracy. Maddox McCray is one of them—a grassroots organizer in NW Ohio. If you’re there, consider canvassing for Maddox! www.mobilize.us/madduxmccray...

Yeah the biggest human trafficking bust in 21st century US history went down in 2021. Operation Blooming Onion. They took down a $200 million slavery ring in Georgia. 100% H2A visa workers who immigrated legally. This was HUGE NEWS for anyone who was paying attention to farm worker & labor issues.

Peter Magyar is currently enacting a Liberal Currents fantasy where he amends the constitution to ban anyone associated with the old regime from ever holding office again and is somehow polling at 68% (he won with 53%) and I’m not saying that’s possible anywhere else but Dems should like, ask him

That’s still too complicated. The messages is: If you think things are going right, vote Republicans. They control everything. If you think things can be better Democrats. And if you don’t like how that plays out, you can vote us out in two years.

It doesn’t help that Dems parrot RW talking points. Research show best way to counter anti-trans rhetoric is w/ economic argument. “My opponent is trying to distract you from their economic failures. They have no solutions to make life more affordable so they resort to distraction & division.”

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook
X.com
Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

Talarico blew up his brand of compassionate and loving person, seven weeks before the election because a consultant told him he might not get a disillusioned MAGA to maybe vote for him. People already think the Democratic Party is weak and have no convictions. His pivot reinforces that.
