It's not so much that we need to be afraid of AI itself, it's that we are afraid of what most *men* want to do with it -- to us.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I saw someone compare this stuff to asbestos. We don't need to accept danger and damage even for a REAL unquestionable benefit. And most of the benefits these tech bros are insisting are future hypotheticals, not tangible in the here and now. "Trust us, the damage will be worth it" rings so hollow.

Bar chart displaying approval of various policies to aid Americans with cost of living and tax laws. Leading with 90% approval is banning surprise medical bills, followed by requiring health insurance companies to report reasons for denying claims at 87%. Capping prices of drugs negotiated by Medicare shows 87% support, and government negotiation of drug prices is at 84%. Raising taxes on large, profitable companies is favored by 76%. The least supported policy, reducing Social Security benefits if Congress can't agree, has 23% approval. Data source: Wall Street Journal poll, September 2026.
