Hey Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

Pretty grim footnote to West's career that he ended up serving the richest man in the world's successful attempt to restore white nationalism to the US government.

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

They're scared to have real people from the working class in Washington because they know we'll challenge the status quo at every turn. The government we have now doesn't work for everyday people. It works fine for the wealthy. They're scared of losing that.

In the category of "making Jews safer," I'd like to remind you that Netanyahu sided with Putrin over Ukraine, a country with a Jewish president and 350,000 Jews, and makes deals with Elon, the guy who shut off Starlink so Putin could kill moe people in Ukraine.

AI firms want you to believe their fraud bot is alive so they won’t be held responsible for the fraud bot’s crimes. But there is no gray area here, they hold the on/off switches in their very human, very prosecutable hands.

We are letting one greedy insecure k-hole Nazi fuck it up for 8 billion of us. He’s killing millions bc his daddy was mean to him and he loathes himself. Remember when Elon told Tucker Carlson if Trump didn’t get elected he was “fucked” and going to prison? Yeah, we can still do that. We must.

The problem with "no ceiling strong floor" ideology is that it allows a creepy nazi trllionaire to control the military, manipulate social media algorithms, dictate the content on news channels and spend insane amounts trying to buy elections. Absolutely no one should have that much money or power.

Mass deforestation and the sudden ecosystem collapse likely to result offers a finality to their politics: there’s no coming back from this. You Indigenous people, you greens, anyone stupid enough to care: you’ll have nowhere left to hide. The world will be ours, even if it is a world of ashes.

A visible sign of what AI insiders have been warning about since at least the Mythos release. Acceleration of attack and defense, at inhuman speeds, interacting with the very human systems that need to react to them. And these are the vulnerabilities we know about.

Yet Chuck Schumer is still silent about this abuse of power designed to punish Trump’s critics, sow fear, and inflame racial divisions ahead of the midterms. With our democracy on the line, Schumer has vacillated between silence and surrendering or squandering Dems' leverage when it mattered most.

This is a must read from @davidakaye.bsky.social @slate.com, thinking about what accountability will look like in a post-Trump era. This is something I'll be thinking a lot about in the coming two years.....

David Kaye@davidakaye.bsky.social

we're going to need a long-term plan, with broad political appeal, for ending impunity & holding the trump administration accountable for its crimes, malfeasance & cruelties. not 'tit-for-tat' but an american version of transitional justice. my take in @slate.com 👇

If we care about the future of American democracy, we need to change our political system so that it represents the people—and doesn’t over-represent the white nationalist faction. The goal must not be to preserve the system which led to the crisis—but to fix it.

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

“The people responsible should experience personal consequences that make them regret their lack of character, rather than that they simply didn’t try harder, or scheme more competently.” Accountability means personal consequences not just performative public exposure. @brianbeutler.bsky.social

open.substack.comExposure Is Not AccountabilityWhen bad actors are shameless, exposure accomplishes little. They need to face tangible consequences.

While I have no desire to expand our carceral state, facing 10 years in prison is far more likely to act as an effective deterrent to abusing Flock than simply being fired from the police department.
