Why comics creators must fight the proposed censorship of H.R. 7661
There’s a genuine gaslighting element to forcing faculty to debate whether to teach with AI. If someone broke into my house & stole from me, my employer wouldn’t ask me to work with them. But that’s what AI did. So, no.
In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.
"Fascism isn't destiny" - my short speech in DC tonight pre-butting the Trump State of the Union.

I'm in the House chamber for Trump's SOTU and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) is doing a Democratic rebuttal in real time from the floor, saying stuff like, "lies," "what's he talking about," while Trump rambles on... not sure he can hear her but I'm about the same distance as he is from her seat
This is the SAVE Act that Trump is discussing tonight.
New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?:
The SAVE Act is a truly extreme voter suppression bill, but in ways that might surprise you. White Christian Nationalism is driving the bill more than a cynical focus on maximizing GOP vote share. 🧵

Rashida Tlaib keeps saying "release the Epstein files."
Just fyi- Trump claims he ended DEI...but literally last month we won our lawsuit, preventing him from cutting civil rights laws including the commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in schools. www.aft.org/press-releas... . www.aft.org/press-releas...
Casar: He steals from working Americans to give to the rich. Donald Trump doesn't owe us a two-hour rambling speech. He owes the American people their money back.
Hakeem Jeffries calls it “unforced errors.”
As Oliver points out here, it’s called stealing every headline.
democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.
feels like i should re-post this every few weeks
Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you
The administration was hoping for the theater of its paramilitaries squaring off against black bloc street fighters.
And instead it got this.
Hard to label the lady in a bathrobe as a “terrorist.”
Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped
The federal agent who shot Marimar Martinez and joked about it has been placed on leave. This wouldn't have happened if everyone had accepted Homeland Security's blatant lies in this case.
The Only Thing Stronger Than Hate Is Love: Minneapolis version.
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
who called it Heated Rivalry and not Fuck Ice
But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said. Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.
Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”
welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up
Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.
Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto
Hey let's go! Minneapolis organizers need dash cams so they can record and have a record of all of ICE's lies.
Every American needs to watch this:
They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.
Good to see attention to the possible ethnic cleansing of Springfield, Ohio, and the people who are coming together to fight against it.

The concept of AI "hallucinations" is just a way to gloss over the fact the thing just lies all the time. When suddenly the user realizes "hey that's not true" then suddenly it was a "hallucination"
I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.
