Let’s survive this 1000-alarm fire together. Also, not to be morbid, but if you’re going to protest—get a will, health care proxy & power of attorney. If you’re unable to act, you’ll want to appoint someone you trust to act for you. (Free legal advice.)

Same! @shanley.com is awesome & is doing critical work that more people -everyone- needs to know about.

A lot to digest here, but this should be getting a lot more coverage. It's a scary vision of the future: Elites developing an explicit anti-democratic ideology, and of course becoming even richer in the process. Disguised as “innovation-driven,” it's all about further concentration of power and $
I know there is confusion and unknowns about what we are facing.

But we actually know a lot: what is happening, why, who is doing it, what their plans are, etc

A lot of people worked on this site to help close the gap, please use it and share it

There is lots of good stuff about increased computational power. There is a lot of bad stuff about computational power built, owned, controlled, sold, maintained under capitalism, by fascism.

The AI bubble is not bursting. This is the start. There will be ups and downs in the stock. It proceeds.

Tax and regulate the rich or else we're vulnerable to their childhood traumas. Literally Orson Welles' Citizen Kane warned us of this.
Musk didn't take over Twitter, because he liked how it empowered activists, journalists. He wanted to turn it into a fascist disinformation machine. DOGE is the same project. Ruining the lives of people he hates was the point. Musk is a racist trust fund kid seeking revenge for the end of apartheid

Bolsonaro, Milei, Orban, Netanyahu, Putin & Trump. A club of autocrats that wants to take over the Americas, Europe & the Middle East?

This tracks. He’s doubled downed on fossil fuels. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world. And he’s been hell bent on invading somewhere. Manifest Destiny. The distraction of war. It serves many of his ends.
TFG.

Back in January, they said the resistance was dead.

Now our pro-democracy movement is surging — and the midterms are our next big electoral test. Please pitch in if you can to help us power the grassroots organizing that will win back Congress: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

“The president's role here is curious, since his job has little to do with power a lot to do with distracting people from the real sources of power. We're never told who really has the power in this government….Is it corporations, like the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation? We don't know.”
