I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

❗️FBI is reaching out to people who were previously arrested by NJSP during protests outside Delaney Hall. Some have received phone calls or door knocks. National Lawyers Guild is spreading an advisory for people to contact their hotline if feds come knocking:

On Friday June 5th, at least 2 comrades arrested by state troopers on 5/29 at Delaney Hall were called by someone who self-identified as an FBI agent. On Saturday, June 6th, at least one comrade received a phone call followed by a doorknock by the FBI PHONE CALLS AND DOOR KNOCKS FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT: if you receive a phone call from a number you don't know: Ask "who is this?" and write down their response. Ask the agent 1) their agency, 2) the agent's name, and 3) their phone number. tell them 4) you will not answer any questions and 5) a lawyer will contact them. Hang up as soon as you get their name and agency. If it is a doorknock, ask for the same info (name, agency, phone number) or for them to slide a card under the door --DO NOT open the door.You have a constitutional right to remain silent and you have a constitutional right to not open your door or let law enforcement into your home without a warrant. Since it is also crime to lie to law enforcement, the safest thing is to only "leave your name and number. a lawyer will contact you." If feds call or come knocking call the National Lawyers Guild's Federal Defense Hotline 212-679-2811. Leave your name and phone number. A lawyer will contact you so that you can have a privileged conversation about your rights, risks, and responsibilities and be connected with appropriate legal resources.

It's happening 🚨 House GOP representatives are about to introduce a bill that would completely eliminate subsidized student loans. They are trying to make it impossible to go to college unless you can afford to pay for it upfront.

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

Let’s put it in simple terms. Men and women who attacked our Capitol, injured over 140 police officers and attempted to overthrow the results of a presidential election are going to be paid by Trump’s lackeys for their services on J6 with our tax dollars.

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket for free and share its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god
