It's a scam all the way down. Taylor Farms gave MAGA Inc. $1M USD less than a week after FDA postponed implementation of food traceability rules. www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...

My pre-write turned out to be 70% a. CDC's comms have been wildly irresponsible; b. If I couldn't prove lettuce is not from Taylor Farms, I wouldn't eat it; c. Taylor Farms gave MAGA Inc. $1M USD less than a week after FDA postponed food traceability rules. www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...

AI is the lynchpin of the whole political project. It’s the container for the parallel governance they have promised each other. I truly think that they are surprised that people don’t like it…and that they can’t yet wholesale punish everyone for not liking them.

Yep. Consumer-facing "A.i." is a tool of economic exploitation, disinformation, and fascism. The right wing billionaires pushing it want you to be incapable of original thought and judgement and to be entirely economically dependent and exploited. Just say HELL NO.

Schumer is pro the war on Iran and I think that in and of itself is disqualifying. It seems imperative that Democrats demand that he resign or be replaced as Senate minority leader because he is actually working to support the fascist in chief. It's untenable.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

It's also strange to say we "have" this planet, when we actually are this planet. We are not just in or on the Earth, we are it. It's not an amusement park ride. Same with the solar system. We're not just flying around or rotating within it. We are the solar system. We're the fabric of the cosmos.

1908: the Lancet, one of the most respected scientific journals, calls for 18 age limit on reading in bed amidst a moral panic surrounding children becoming "addicted" to novels, which were "designed to keep kids hooked" and destroy their attention/mental health

Just a reminder that governments can invalidate or destroy the things you rely on to be seen as a valid, legal participant in society pretty much at will. So if you think you’re good bc you’re not trans or not in Kansas or whatever you’re lying to yourself while danger gets closer to your community.

This is a fantastic thread that you should read. Join your neighbors and defend your neighbors. The people united will never be defeated.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)
