Because actually stopping fascism would also undermine the systems of power and capital acquisition that have powered the Neoliberal wing of the Democratic Party for 40 years. The corporate Democrats sold us to Trump because it was easier to do that than to fight him.

I've been practicing microdreading lately. Just a little dread at a time, as a treat. But not too much, then you just go down the Dreadhole.

Trump and his lawyers embrace the logic of dictatorship
And they're not even trying to hide it at this point.

We're doing to ruin several generations of Americans with this bullshit. It's Big Tech just trying to justify their insane spending chasing AGI that will NEVER work with discrete processors and these algorithms/programming.
“Kids begin their day with two hours of instruction on standard topics like language, math and science, guided by an AI that continuously adjusts the learning plan based on how the child is doing in each subject.”
New Arizona charter school will use AI in place of human teachers
Unbound Academy, which operates in Texas and Florida as Alpha Schools, has been approved to open a charter school in Arizona with an AI learning model that adjusts kids’ learning plans on the fly.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.
