There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

But also, the _reason_ Mamdani could do this is because of the skill set someone like him has to learn being part of our communities. He is able to *perform* the "model minority" role, but is not interested in, and not aspiring to, whiteness. This combination is a hack that breaks media & power.

But no resolutions condemning fascism, huh?
The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Study after study shows that using LLMs is bad for cognition, bad for learning, bad for understanding, bad for mental health. So why are our schools and universities still relentlessly pushing them?
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
