Remember back in 2020, when we were first hearing nonsense like this, and it was kind of funny, in a horrendous sort of way?

I think it's "shot" as in "mentally unfit", with pointing to head to indicate the "mentally" part

Gullible, Cynical America The trouble with believing anything and nothing at the same time

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

I was a teenager when George W. Bush took us to war in the Middle East based on lies.

Like everyone in my generation, I have friends who never came back from that endless war or never came back the same.

We cannot let Donald Trump do that to another generation of Americans.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

Read my full statement:

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Sure. I remember having this conversation with folks in 2003. I can't quite remember, how did that work out?

as democratic politicians start writing up their statements i want them to pause for 30 seconds and think of the last time the anti-war people were wrong

It wasn’t long ago that thousands of American families lost sons and daughters for a war with no end in sight. Trump is risking that again with Iran, and he’s doing it all without Congressional approval.

The Senate needs to come back to Washington to do its job.

"Abolish ICE" is obviously a segment of "defund the police" and to say otherwise is being dishonest and ignoring all the people who have been doing the work and showing up.

I'm constantly trying (/failing) to get this point across.

If you're a trained expert in a field, then it may be worthwhile to question the scientific consensus of your peers.

If you're not, the scientific consensus is absolutely the best you can do and it's arbitrary foolishness to disregard it.

The idea that coding agents prove "learn to code was a mistake" is kind of analogous to thinking the printing press meant "psych! y'all wasted a lot of time learning how to write."

Computational thinking is getting easier to pick up, and also providing more leverage than before.
