If your vote in the Midterm Election doesn’t matter, why are groups spending millions to sway it? Voting is the voice of change. Once you vote, remind family and friends to do it too. Registration, ballots and early voting locations at mi.gov/vote. @votingaccessforall @notpoliticians.bsky.social

All right, my fellow USA citizens, it is GO TIME: time for us to head to our polling stations and exercise franchise. Our ancestors had many of the same challenges in their time, so let me tell you a family story to inspire you to GET OUT AND VOTE! #GOTV

Voting is resistance. And in Michigan, we voted to make it easy with three ways to do it. Once you have a voting plan, it’s important to remind family and friends to do the same. Voter registration, ballots and early voting locations at mi.gov/vote. @votingaccessforall @notpoliticians.bsky.social

It's official at last: Registration for AnDOUC Summit 2027 is open! Just click on the QR code to find out more about our event next April 13-15, 2027 in Redwood Shores, CA.

Starting October 24, you can vote early in the Michigan Midterms. Just present a driver’s license or state ID, and it’s like voting on Election Day. Except you pick the day. And ICE won’t be there. Find your ballot and polling location at mi.gov/vote. @votingaccessforall @notpoliticians.bsky.social

Hanging out on the #NoKings events followup call about what those of us who attended over THREE THOUSAND SEPARATE GATHERINGS this past Saturday! It shows that boots-on-the-ground movements are powerful reminders to billionaires, fascists, and authoritarians they are incredibly outnumbered 😎

To see real change in our country, vote Democratic in the Michigan Midterms. NO on Ballot Proposal 1’s dangerous Constitutional Convention. And YES to Prop 2, preventing corporations from controlling politicians. Compare nonpartisan candidates at myballotmypower.org. Voting knowledge is power.

Awesome advice by my colleagues in Michigan! Go Blue or Go Home!! 😍 But do it NOW!!!

Woo-hoo! It's Tech Field Day #TFD time again! Packed, locked & loaded for heading to San Jose CA bright & early tomorrow for 2 full days discussing the latest AI trends at #AIFD9 ... so watch this channel for more information. 🎇

First we warn them. They don’t listen. Then we illustrate. They don’t listen. Then the breach happens. They come to us in a panic, asking what they could have done to prevent this and what they can do now that it has happened. This is the sighbersecurity cycle. #InfoSec

These folks are worth watching. H/t @stephen.fosketts.net

Today we're announcing our $445M Series D and announcing that we've reached profitability. Huge thanks to Eclipse for leading the round, which included participation from existing investors USIT, Jane Street, Riot Ventures, Intel Capital, Friends and Family Capital, and Counterpart Ventures.

OK, I don't often toot my own horn. But I'll make an exception on this post ... because it is absolutely CRUCIAL to exercise franchise during the midterms, especially if you live in Michigan. Please have a look+listen and be sure to make a plan to vote, and then VOTE! 😡

Idk who needs to hear this, but AI is not the second coming of Jesus Christ

I don't usually toot my own horn ... but in this case, I gotta make an exception. Please have a look and listen and then ... please take action and let's flip Michigan blue! 😆

Spent the morning at #REFusionEnergy discussing #fusion scaling at the hardware level. Now we're talking about the $Bs ($Ts?) It will take to fund it and what that funding realistically demand from #fusion leadership

The 2026 Michigan Midterm ballot has lots of important races and propositions, from our next Governor and US Senator to judges and school board leaders, plus two Michigan propositions. Find out what’s on the ballot in your district and compare candidates at myballotmypower.org

Wrapping up an amazing morning of #REFusionEnergy with a distinguished panel of folks from AMPERA, Rutherford Energy Ventures, and various USA national labs on the promise of commercialization for fusion. My brain hurts but I'm still jamming more info in

Every once in a while, it's a great idea to get completely out of your realm + experience something you are extremely curious to learn about! I'm at #REFusionEnergy to learn where #fusion #technology is headed

fun fact: The Treaty of Tripoli, 1796, Signed by Prez John Adams, includes: "As the government of the United States of America is *not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion*, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of [Muslims].." Just saying.

Spent the last 24 hours reviewing the fascinating companies who'll be presenting at #REFusionEnergy starting this coming Tuesday in Boston. My mind is blown at the incredible diversity of approaches they're deploying to achieve commercial #fusion power! #cleanenergy

Voting early in the Midterm 2026 allows time to correct a ballot signature mismatch, postal delays (best to use your city’s drop box) and long waits on Nov 3. Make sure your registered, request a ballot and more at mi.gov/vote #voteearly #midterm2026 @votingaccessforall @notpoliticians.bsky.social

Just one more week until I attend Reuters Events: Fusion Energy 2026! I am pumped + primed to hear about the amazing future of hydrogen fusion in the coming decade. Join me in Boston this October 6 - 7 alongside 250+ global fusion energy leaders: #REFusionEnergy invt.io/1lxbekfzvgg

There's a ton of misinformation and disinformation about Abdul El-Sayed's candidacy from MAGA and even "normal" GOPers ... but the truth is, if they weren't scared sh!tless of losing the Senate, they'd probably still critique him. This sounds like a great chance to cut thru the BS! 🤔

"Oh, but LLMs can do that!" you say, breathlessly. But they can't. No matter how truth shaped their answers, that truth shape is a simulacrum. It's built on a high probability model of correctness, but as we've seen this model can be hijacked pretty easily. LLMs have no relationship to truth.

It's go time in Michigan! My fellow Midwesterners, it's time to make sure your voice is heard. Tell your government how you feel about this administration's policies ... because like he said, POTUS is on the ballot 😊

The voices of my ancestors demand that we don't squander their sacrifices eighty years ago. So if you can, please join my efforts to get out the vote in Michigan for the upcoming midterm elections. youtu.be/Qx4QZaOfVpg

Without a valid ID, it’s hard for the formerly incarcerated to get an apartment, a job or medical help – making it easier for them to return to prison. SB 603 ensures they leave with a proper ID. Urge your Michigan senator to approve this empowering bill. #Indivisible.org #VAAC

Again ... #MAGA (which unfortunately what the #GOP has become under Trump) will find any way it can to mess with elections. Prisoners serving time for an offense should not have whatever civil rights they have left stripped away from them. (And I'm a Reagan Republican folx.) 😠

Hanging out in Charlotte MI today listening to an inspirational young Democrat running for US House for Lansing (MI-7), William Lawrence. It's a small town (7700) but guess what the concerns are? #AI. #Accountability. #Affordability. #Authoritarianism. #bluewave2026 wewill2026.com

Hundreds of Michiganders came together, using art to spark conversation about democracy, voting access and representation. See how it all came together in “IMD/VAAC Voting Rights Community Art” at ArtPrize, Sept 18-Oct 3. Details at artprize.com #votingrights #VAAC @notpoliticians.bsky.social

The Congressional Black Caucus PAC endorsed Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, citing his efforts to take on corruption and make life more affordable. CBCPAC represents issues of black members of Congress. #VAAC#Indivisible.org tinyurl.com/3rsdsukjFor @notpoliticians.bsky.social

As a prior troll during an election (it was a good cause at the time!) this technique works. Block, ignore, but feed them not!

It was an MLM convention. Anyone whose Dad ever sold Amway knows what this was. The downlines have tapped out their networks and are dropping off, garages full of product they can’t move and broken homes waiting for them when they get back.

Just finished planning my schedule for #REFusionEnergy in Boston on October 6-7.I'm gobsmacked at the content & people I'll see there! I've dreamed about #FusionEnergy since I was a kid. Looks like it's gonna happen in my lifetime! #CleanEnergy #FusionScience #PhysicsResearch

Exactly right! I see people jumping off cliffs when something is posted against their favorite candidate ... so like my martial arts teacher says, "Don't forget to breathe." The post will still be there in 15 minutes - after you get facts straight!

On Nov 3rd the wife and I are going to be near Detroit MI to actually drive people to the polls if they need a ride. We're 4 hours away in Chicago but that's what it's gonna take to get out the votes! IL is a blue wave lock, but if you can help out in another state, check in with their chapters

The national #NoKings call is underway! Jump over to nokings.org to join up with our movement!

On the #NoKings national event call for October 17th!

Oh Donny, Donny, Donny ... you gotta give MAGAts a bribe BEFORE they vote, not AFTER! Did you learn NOTHING from the NYC mob? 🤣 🤬 #ettd #corruption #fraud #VoteBlue

Exactly right. And it's gonna get worse before we get a new Congress (hopefully!?!) seated on Jan. 3rd so the cleanup begins

New laws in Michigan and a few other states require AI deepfakes to include disclaimer labels on some synthetic election content. They’ll say something like “This [image, video or audio] has been manipulated.” Too bad every lie doesn’t require one. #Indivisible #VAAC @notpoliticians.bsky.social

Glad to see my IMD compatriots are bringing this to light! Especially with the White House today posting a simulated image of the President as a Green Lantern 🤦
