Everyone’s behavior it primarily determined by their genetics and early childhood experiences - of which they chose neither. I try to have compassion and understanding for people of all views and actions.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

We need more people like this woman. We are trained from kindergarten and perhaps before to be complacent. It is hard to break cultural norms but many of those norms keep us silent and divided. Practice breaking the rules.

A disabled Downey resident was detained Tuesday shortly before 10 a.m. by masked individuals during what appeared to be a federal immigration operation near Smallwood Avenue and 4th Street.

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

ALARMING: Polk County’s 287(g) partnership let local deputies act as ICE enforcers inside a hospital. Grace and Giulianna were kidnapped and handed to ICE while seeking medical care. Hospitals cannot become hunting grounds for immigration arrests. Share this.

1. The MOST IMPORTANT ARTICLE of the year on "climate" "This massive lie can best be summed up as 'when it comes to climate change... we have more time.'" This is why revolution is the only option we have - it is not a matter of politics, it's a matter of physics. Because we are out of time.

We built modern society on a single, unspoken commandment: Thou shalt grow the GDP forever. We optimized everything for this number. But we forgot one critical detail. The denominator is fixed. 🧵👇

Snagged this from FB. This may make some people uncomfortable but I think it highlights just how far we've come from what's natural, from our relationship to the Earth that sustains us and our beautiful relatives we share it with.

I want to live in a world where I don't need to use my coping skills every day to deal with anxiety and/or depression caused by capitalism. We will never be free until we can be from economic slavery.

Happy Bastille Day!

The storming of the Bastille on this day in 1789 was essentially an anti-prison riot that won, spelling eventual doom for all monarchies. When we topple the current ruling class and abolish borders, prisons, and police, people will celebrate for hundreds of years, too. crimethinc.com/tce#lastcrime

There are many ways to resist. New monuments on the National Mall, for instance. 🤡🏆

A protest group called The Secret Handshake placed a giant gold “Iran war participation trophy” for President Trump on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Well worth reading. Scary as hell. From the warning (by former Senators Dick Gephart and Timothy Wirth): “The first job of any coup is to make the recognition of it seem premature. That is the trap. By the time recognition is no longer premature, the moment to resist has already passed.” 🎯

ACAB. These people make us all less safe. Let's take the grotesque amount of money we spend on these violet people and make sure everybody has enough instead.

WTF LAPD???? The LAPD showed up with 20+ officers and even sent a HELICOPTER for a noise complaint in an apartment complex in Canoga Park. And they shot and killed Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. He wasn't dangerous. He wasn't a threat.

Democrat Michigan Governor... (with friends like these...)

Hart Cunningham@hart28.bsky.social

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

Trump: “Nobody expected that.” With the exception of foreign policy experts, who predicted this as early as 2010. Trump proved again he’s the dumbest president ever….

Another reason we need to burn it all down and start over.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
