This is meant to punish a particularly resistant Congresswoman but also to punish the resistance of the people of Minnesota. Truly fascist shit

What if you see ICE at the polls? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!) @indivisible.org roped me in to design and illustrate a new zine! Check it out in this 🧵 - and visit linktr.ee/wewillvote to sign up for the Election Protection Program and find all the resources you need!
Page 1: text reads "WHAT IF YOU SEE ICE AT THE POLLS? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!)"

Image shows pen and ink drawings of an ICE agent peeking around one side of the word ICE and a determined looking person holding up a cell phone as if to record peering around the other side.

Perhaps worth noting, in this context, that Bezos went on Fox News to tell its audience (and AI pushback is bipartisan, by the way): "you're not going to need to have a two-earner income household" if we let AI accelerate, in his vision. www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-a...
businessinsider.com
Jeff Bezos says AI could power a return to single-earner households as it turbocharges productivity
Bezos, the world's third wealthiest person, said more families will need only one parent to work and people will work for three days per week.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

This is exactly it. Melinda Cooper argues in her essay ‘Epstein Family Values’ that the tech billionaires want to create a world of servants so that they can play the masters. Some of us will be playthings, some helpmeets to reproduce the master race. Useful, or abandoned. We need a better future.

The way the Cornell victim is being publicly disbelieved by a lot of journalists, officials, and online posters is also a warning shot to every other victim not to dare to actually pursue a case against your rapist lest you suffer the same fate. It’s a means of protecting the status quo

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

It’s amazing how the media cooperates to make some issues salient and completely ignores others. We went from North Carolina being protested against for an anti-trans bathroom bill in 2016 to now every politician being asked their position on a dozen or so athletes in ALL of K-16.
