Actually, the left is winning the AI debate But it does need to get organized.

The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal.

Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

A hand holds a book called "Disabling Intelligences: Legacies of Eugenics and How We are Wrong about Al" by Rua M. Williams. The cover is burgundy with orange leaves, and behind the book is a blanket with similar colors.

This will be my thread for thoughts while reading Disabling Intelligences by @fractalecho.bsky.social this week.

I'm all wrapped up in a fleece blanket, I have my highlighter and page flags, and on page 2 I'm already love their writing style.

Also, feel free to distribute freely, and widely to anyone you know who is. While the focus is on rural ESports sustainability in Texas, we also welcome others to respond as potential comparative groups.
Thanks for your support of our research project! #esports #research

Apple removes ICEBlock app after criticism from Trump administration Google also removed similar apps from the app store for Android devices, although ICEBlock was never available on the Google Play store.

Spoke with @scottbudman.bsky.social @nbcbayarea.com about Apple capitulating to DOJ pressuring they take the ICEBlock app down. They did. What’s next for a govt that has tech in its pocket & a quest for silencing speech it dislikes? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I was just telling my partner this morning over coffee, "these people lost 250 years ago, this is more important to know than who won the fucking 'civil war' in this country. They've been planning this for 275 years." Prop 2025 was just the latest, and horrendously, the greatest effort to date.

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.
