Trump’s assault on voting is becoming impossible to ignore. A whistleblower alleges USPS may undermine timely mail ballots and defy court orders. The answer? Vote en masse. Hungary showed how overwhelming turnout can defend democracy. #Resistance

This is an old, old, story, and one that in large part inspired the 2nd wave of feminism in the early 1960's.

When we talk about "civil rights," it's important to keep in mind that the right of women and girls to access the public sphere without being subjected to sexual violence or harassment is usually considered less important than the free speech rights of men to harass them.

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

America has experienced oligarchy thrice in its brief history. The first was under the slaveholding founders The second, the robber barons, a century later. A third American oligarchy emerged around 1980 — and has only gotten more powerful.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

I've been paying into Social Security most of my life, since I was 18 (I'm 58 years old now). This is a very real fear and concern for me, and for many family and friends who will be relying on it to survive. If this doesn't make you furious, you are not paying attention.

To spell it out, this has the potential to be a really big deal. It could help make end-to-end encryption the default for a new generation of collaboration apps the same way the Signal protocol has end-to-end encrypted Signal and WhatsApp conversations on billions of phones.

Just so we’re all crystal clear, the Supreme Court says they’ve gutted the voting rights act and used the fifteenth amendment to justify it; what they’ve really done is to rewrite the fifteenth amendment, designed to protect non-white citizens’ voting rights, as a White Power amendment.

This will not end w/ voting rights. The fundamental premises of these SCOTUS opinions are: 1) Anti-discrimination is actually unconstitutional discrimination; 2) Intentional discrimination isn't actionable if any alternative rationale is presented. It's the beginning of the end of civil rights law.

If this is irrelevant to Steyer’s hunger for political power, why doesn’t he talk openly about it? Steyer is sending out hit pieces against Becerra, but he’s mum on whether he’d use his power to benefit his family. How do we know Steyer isn’t like Trump, seeking power for family wealth? WE DON’T.

Steyer's influencers (paid but not reported) are trying to accuse Becerra about climate. This is a common propaganda technique: Accuse the other of that which you are guilty. It's Steyer who is still profiting from dirty coal. Read, California. Then VOTE FOR XAVIER BECERRA.

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.
