Huh. Felt my first Greek earthquake. (It was very very gentle, but long. Wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't in bed.)

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

This is the big story:
1) The President ordered a killing campaign outside of the law.
2) He got OLC to make up a fake war to justify killing real people.
3) And he got the military to carry out the killings.
Purporting to justify those killings is aiding in covering up that plain reality 👇

Remember when we were kids and people just littered every roadway? And then we all agreed that it sucked and was ugly and stupid so we made it a priority to stop littering. And we jacked up fines and enforced them and began social pressure campaigns and "adopt-a-highway" stuff.

Actually the poorest countries in the world could also do this easily if “rich countries” weren’t extracting wealth and resources and shackling them with debt for the most ridiculous shit. Also if they compensated for colonization theft.
The richest country in the world could easily house, feed, & care for everyone who needs it
There’s no reason for an epidemic of homelessness
There’s no reason people should be going without food or healthcare
50% of Americans can’t afford a basic standard of living
Poverty is a political choice

If Hipkins thinks trans kids, whose identities have been stripped from the sex ed curriculum, whose community events have been literally invaded by violent bigots, whose ability to access healthcare just got banned, aren't at risk now, what exactly is his definition of "at risk"
Hipkins response to me was basically, "we absolutely support trans people & will reverse it, but we don't want to start a culture war that would put trans kids at risk."
It doesn't make sense. WP has already started the war, TPM & the Greens response didn't start a flare up of hate afaik.
