As a neurodivergent person myself, this piece really resonated; it articulates well some troubling impressions I myself have been having regarding claims that LLMs can mimic “thinking.”

Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.

I’ve seen posts claiming this “truth” is evidence of dementia, but IMO that’s not the right frame. This is strategy. Since 2021, the right has been rewriting history, bending timelines, to connect their grievances (Covid) and conspiracy theories (Jan 6, censorship, etc) to the Biden administration.

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

It happened in Turkey to the Armenians. It happened in Europe during the Holocaust. It's happening in Gaza. It's underway at ICE facilities around the US. And if we don't stop it, one day it could happen to you. Dehumanization paves the way for ethnic cleansing. crimethinc.com/ChicagoBroad...

A screenshot from

https://apnews.com/article/immigration-chicago-trump-arrests-protest-3ceeb1a0bf6cf23249d7a0ebc6c3fb4b

It reads:

Brenda Perez said her husband was arrested this month by ICE agents on Chicago’s South Side while he heading to work as a mechanic. She eventually confirmed he was at Broadview when she saw him on a social media video shot outside the center.

In brief calls, he told her he couldn’t sleep because there were too many people to lay down. He reported going 24 hours without food.

“He would beg them for food and water because he was hungry and very thirsty and they would just ignore him,” she said, crying.

The United States is a threat to global peace and is actively dismantling any semblance of an international rules-based order through its own actions and its continued backing of Israel’s lawlessness. You can’t shout “peace!” after attacking a sovereign country in violation of international law.

About "nonviolence"— The definition of "violence" is not neutral. What counts as violence is determined by those who control public discourse. This is why police can terrorize people without it registering as violence, while the slightest act of community defense is framed as "violence." 🧵⬇️

The Trump Regime indicted a Congresswoman and a union president this week. It's not surprising that their thugs would forcibly remove a sitting U.S. Senator from a press conference. They're coming for all of us. Our only option is to resist and defy. Your privileges and power will not protect you.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

Yep, fighting back against Trump's chaos and lawlessness - by handing him a budget with zero fight lol this is ridiculous

The only Senate Democrat skeet posted directly by the account instead of reposting Schumer. It reads:

"As we showcase how Trump's hurting American families ahead of his joint address, Senate Dems are taking to bluesky. Nothing he says tonight will change how the Trump agenda favors billionaires and hurts families. We will keep fighting back against his chaos and lawlessness"

Every summer on our old farm in Maine we had a clutch of baby barred owls that hung out in the orchard and made those little hissing calls the juvenile owls make. Not a day went by when I didn’t run into one of them somewhere. #SuperbOwlSunday

To say that the violence Trump seeks to inflict is *performative* is not to say that it is not real, or that it does not have catastrophic consequences. Rather, it is to point out that his chief goal is to terrorize, to demoralize. Therefore, refusing to be cowed materially thwarts his strategy.

Ripping out “safety culture” is one of Musk’s central management strategies. His companies just don’t follow the law and maybe pay a fine later. Profits and wins are private gains for him. Failures and losses are socialized. You can’t RUN THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE that way.
