Political institutions should center the people with less power, even when doing so is inconvenient for party leaders, donors, campaigns or candidates. Uncertainty may complicate their responsibility. It does not erase it. www.milwaukeebeagle.com/blog/about-t...

Volunteered yesterday for an event where Democratic speakers were defying credible death threats. Security measures and especially careful and vague promotion limited the scale of that event. This really makes me think about how the MAGA coup attempt of 2026 is already partially underway.

“Now, those grifters have been calling everyone to the left of George HW Bush a socialist since forever… How do they differentiate between a socialist, and someone they have disingenuously called a socialist for years?” www.milwaukeebeagle.com/blog/nothing...

The widely feared AI demiurge is already here. It’s called “the free market” and its servants call themselves “limited liability corporations”. They will take every drop of clean water and every breath of fresh air from us, if we don’t stop them.

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 4mo ago

Lest anyone accuse me of bargaining in bad faith here, let me start with this admission: I don't think AI is intelligent; nor do I think that the current (admittedly impressive) statistical techniques will lead to intelligence. 1/

A killer 1940s robot zapping two large domes with eye-lasers; trapped under the domes are two children, taken from 1910s photos of child laborers; one, a little girl in a straw hat, is holding two heavy buckets. The other, a newsie with a shoulder bag, is picking his nose. The background is the collapsing pillars seen in Dore's engraving of The Death of Solomon.

Unless Graham Platner can miraculously exonerate himself, he gets no say in the nominee to replace him. The opportunity to influence the process passed when he lied to everyone before the primary. We on the left need to take the L and learn a lesson here.

David Crowley and Sarah Rodriguez are Islamophobes and enablers of fascism. Their refusal to answer the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Association's questions is disqualifying. We cannot have bigots and the enablers of bigotry in the executive office of the State of Wisconsin any longer.

Why is PINO Gwen Moore speaking at this event? She won’t stop spending taxpayer money on blowing up hospitals and shooting children in Palestine. She won’t support Medicare For All. She won’t tax the rich or refuse their donations. That’s not progressive. www.mobilize.us/progressivec...
