If you think there's going to be a response to this other than Little Reichstag Fires Everywhere until midterms, you are sadly mistaken. The good news is, people seem to be sick of it.

'Small changes to the tone of posts fed to users of X can increase feelings of political polarisation as much in a week as would have historically taken at least three years, research has found.' 1/3
Small changes to ‘for you’ feed on X can rapidly increase political polarisation

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Invading Venezuela would be a huge mistake—an Iraq and Afghanistan level mistake that would reverberate for decades. Congress must act before the madman does. It’s Congress’ constitutional duty to declare war. Don’t let the senile tyrant take that power from the people’s representatives.

I talk about her in my Black abolitionists of NYC walking tour and usually no one has heard of her but she was Rosa Parks on the bus 100 years before that incident.
In 1855 Elizabeth Jennings Graham brought a suit that initiated the desegregation of NYC transit. Raised by politically active parents (her was mother formerly enslaved, her entrepreneur father was awarded a patent in 1821) Ms. Graham was a teacher, organist, & kindergarten founder.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

With Mamdani's election as NYC's mayor, can we expect a change in the city's policies related to sex work? There are some reasons to suspect that the answer to this question is yes.
Hopefully, Mamdani won't shy away from supporting decriminalization now that he has won.

Any viable left-populist economic coalition in a diverse polity has to include people whose economic exploitation is experienced through racialized and gendered forms.
You can’t ask them to bracket out those concerns as a precondition for solidarity that… just doesn’t make any goddamn sense.
