I've discovered Elsbeth.

Yeah but how relevant are those polls when half the states are actively working to make sure no one who's likely to vote against him can get near a voting booth?

He did tell us he was going to consult Russell Vaught about what he should cut during the shutdown. You KNOW that guy hates women!

Stopping SNAP benefits is an attack on poor people.

Detener los beneficios del SNAP es un ataque a los pobres.

Full statement in English and Spanish at the link here: www.dsausa.org/statements/s...

The government shut-down will mean that poor people in the United States will no longer receive SNAP benefits beginning November 1, 2025. This is class war, and as socialists it is necessary to fight back. Although our government has endless funding to commit genocide abroad, it claims poverty when it comes to feeding our own children here at home. Approximately 62% of SNAP recipients are in families with children, meaning that we are quite literally starving children right now. Why? Because the class that is in power right now thinks that starving children, whether in Gaza or in the United States, is an acceptable thing to do, and further thinks that it can get away with it without a fight. 1/3

As socialists we understand this is a feature and not a bug in the current political system of the United States. The Republican Party actively wants to starve this population, using dehumanizing language to describe individuals receiving public assistance. Food stamp recipients are victims of capitalism, not “parasites.” At the same time, the Democratic Party only wants to draw attention to this horror to the extent that it might benefit them electorally. If the Democratic Party wanted to do something, then it would exercise the power that it actually has at the local level. All across the country, in states led by Democratic governors, however, the response has been absolutely anemic. Even though the Democrats can choose to spend state funds to feed the children frozen out of the SNAP program, they have so far chosen to dodge the issue instead. As socialists, we need to increase the pressure on the individual states to exercise the power that they have right now. 2/3

Across the country, we have the ability to agitate within individual states and cities to fill the gaps that are being created by an utterly horrific federal government, and to make sure that everyone responsible — whether through action or inaction — for literally starving children faces the consequences of their decisions, rather than passive acceptance.

This is why we also strongly encourage chapters to utilize existing DSA mutual aid and tenant networks to check on neighbors and connect them with resources. We cannot sit on our hands, because solidarity means showing up and actively fighting tooth and nail.

In solidarity. 3/3

Yeah but sometimes they take a good while to get to that ending and an awful lot of people suffer and/or die along the way.

Kate6 @kate6.bsky.social · 1d

Sure. But turning it down is still a great way to get your LLM to definitely not do any of the stuff that's making gullible people start thinking it's sentient. I keep it at 0.3 personally.

Kate6 @kate6.bsky.social · 2d

This is some aspect of human behavior that is truly mysterious to my autistic ass. \shrug\

Kate6 @kate6.bsky.social · 2d

Behind the scenes, LLM's have a setting called "temperature" that lets you turn down the degree to which it pretends to be a friendly human and have it respond more like a ship's computer from Star Trek. It is extremely interesting to me that companies don't make this setting end user accessible.

He no longer needs to care about optics. He's got all the Republican governors happily redistricting specifically to make sure he gets to stay in full control of Congress regardless of anything he does. Soon they'll change the rules and give him a third term.

Kate6 @kate6.bsky.social · 2d

Oh Bernie you sweet sweet man... you know very well by now that no one is going to stop him.

Essentially it is this, yes.

Jason Kander posts:
“Dems: We’ll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor.
Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families.”
He ends with the hashtag #shutdown2025.

Gosh that was a lot of blush on Sophia Bush on this week's Grey's...

Kate6 @kate6.bsky.social · 3d

You're absolutely right. I'll go ahead and do that.

He doesn't have a trans friend, he has a trans person he interacts with regularly who's too scared of him to call him out on his bullshit.

Kate6 @kate6.bsky.social · 3d

Honestly literally no one with two brain cells to rub together thinks the party that elected the LITERAL CONVICTED RAPIST (of E. Jean Carroll) president gives two shits about protecting young girls! What reality are you even LIVING IN...

Kate6 @kate6.bsky.social · 3d

Though, you know, if you actually have a problem with creepy guys who like to peep on young girls, I got a Trump Truth for ya! It's not trans people you gotta worry 'bout, it's Pedo Prez!

Mace's paycheck comes out of taxpayer dollars under the assumption that she'll spend her time working on things that improve life for the American people. Constantly bullying Sarah McBride doesn't help the American people in any way. And it's literally all she does.

Sorry but I'm nowhere near sufficiently disconnected from the reality of who that awful, awful woman is to buy this nonsensical line of bullshit. Try selling it someone who doesn't read and only watches Faux News and OAN.

Kate6 @kate6.bsky.social · 3d

I'm just genuinely surprised to hear her name mentioned in regards to SOMETHING other than how much she hates trans people! Like I really thought hating trans people was the some total of her entire existence!
