I share beautiful words from beautiful books. Mostly poetry. Some prose. Always attributed, always pro-author, and generative AI is theft.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

I know multiple federal workers who haven’t been paid in a month but who felt it was all worth it since it was FOR something. The absolute cowardly betrayal of the people who were actually sacrificing—and that betrayal being for literally nothing. It’s an unspeakable rage.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The main things LLMs are "good" for (spam, plagiarism, propaganda, catfishing, disinformation, impersonation, epistemic rupture) are bullshit things that should not be done at all, much less automated to be done at scale.

HUGE THING:
100,000 people volunteered for Mamdani. 1000s volunteering for the FIRST TIME. And they just won BIG.
So that's a massive army of progressives HUNGRY to keep on winning.
That's worth more than all the billionaires' money.
We're going to keep working.
And we're going to keep winning.
