OpenAI started as a non-profit, funded by tax-deductible donations to make AI benefit everyone. Now, they’re shifting to for-profit, putting profits over public safety. Tell OpenAI’s board and Attorneys General this isn’t OK by signing the petition ⤵️

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

@marcelias.bsky.social: "There is a reason why Trump nominated Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth. He wants to humiliate these Republicans, because he knows that once they have voted for these folks, he will own them. They will not have a shred of dignity or standing left."

Here's the thing about the Tuskegee Airmen history - there was nothing in the EO about it. Someone in the Air Force interpreted it that way -- which is far worse.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

“Who goes Nazi” from 1941 harpers.org/archive/1941...
Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi. They may be the gentle philosopher whose name is in the Blue Book, or Bill from City College to whom democracy gave a chance to design airplanes-you'll never make Nazis out of them. But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success-they would all go Nazi in a crisis.

Donald Trump fired 12+ agency watchdogs who protect taxpayers from waste, fraud & abuse. He’s required by law to say why. He hasn’t. Why is Donald Trump eliminating people in charge of stopping government overreach in the middle of the night? I think you can guess why…

In light of the evening’s historical events I’m just going to point out that 9/11 happened under a semi-competent (but perhaps corrupt) Republican administration. Now the DoD is gonna be run by an unfit, ignorant, white supremacist alcoholic abuser who’s indebted to a possibly senile manbaby.

Never forget that there is a high percentage of white ppl in this country who would rather see it destroyed than share it. I thought we were paying the price for electing Barack Obama, but now I know it’s deeper than that. We’re paying the price for the Civil Rights act of 1964.

Not QT’ing to dunk, I wanna make a broader point about the “rich vs poor” argument a lot of moderates try to make. The only reason America became the economic power it is was because of slavery. American capilism is intertwined with racism. They cannot exist without each other.
