AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔

Minnesota, this election is too important to sit back or sit out. With expanded hours, more locations, and opportunities to vote on the weekends, it's never been easier to cast your ballot early. Make your plan at iwillvote.com

J.D. Vance made a fool of himself trying to define socialism. Luckily, a growing majority of Americans aren't falling for his pathetic red-baiting scare tactics.

Donald Trump wants you to vote for Michele Tafoya. I'm asking you to vote for the future Minnesotans deserve - one without Trump's chaos and cruelty. That's the choice in this race.

The promise of Social Security: work hard, pay into the program, and you can retire with dignity. In Congress, Betty McCollum and I are going to fight to save Social Security and protect the program you’ve paid into your entire life.

Honored to have President Obama standing with us in this fight. This campaign is about working people taking their power back — and building a government that works for them. Now let’s finish the job. Get out and vote.

Women across Maine begged Susan Collins not to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court because they knew Roe was at stake. She did it anyway. To this day, she says "I do not regret that vote." Well, we sure do.

Openly provoking a foreign adversary to kill millions of Americans is completely unhinged and reckless. Donald Trump is the most dangerous and corrupt president in our nation’s history. The stakes are too high to send him another yes vote from Minnesota.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

🗣️Ex FTC Chair Lina Khan on A.I. Regulation: “The idea that just because we have new technological capabilities there’s some blanket exemption from the laws on the books is totally laughable.”

Em Roach reposted

The US has successfully negotiated away a requirement that humans review any decisions that AI makes about who to kill in military strikes as part of a UN treaty. The real existential risk from AI is putting a fundamentally unreliable technology at the heart of critical decisions or infrastructure.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

It’s been 210 days since Trump started the war in Iran – with no end in sight. In the Senate, I’ll fight to end this illegal war. Michele Tafoya will tell Minnesotans to keep a stiff upper lip.

Replying to @mayor.nyc.gov

This merger strikes a chilling blow against that freedom — and hands even more power to billionaires like David Ellison to decide what Americans see and hear, all while lifting scrutiny off the federal leaders who pushed it through.

@aoc.bsky.social has shown us what it looks like to take on powerful interests while unapologetically standing up for working people. I'm honored to have her endorsement, and I look forward to joining her in the fight to hold Trump accountable and help people afford their lives again.

If you're wondering why Trump is all of a sudden pushing AI and dismissing concerns about its safety as a "hoax," just look at his stock trades.

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

AOC: Let’s put a data center in each one of Donald Trump’s golf courses. Let’s put one in New Jersey on his golf course. Put one in Mar-a-Lago. The only reason I don’t say put one on the White House lawn is because he’ll be out of there soon. If he loves them so much, he can have them.
