Anyway. Data politics are the cataclysmic danger. AI is mostly just a mid tech attached to a speculative finance scheme. Anything it can make dangerous is already dangerous enough to kill us.

Actually, idea: @carlquintanilla.bsky.social next time you have one of these guys on CNBC who says stuff like this, can you ask them to... be specific? Like how? How is AI going to "Destroy humanity?" I want to know details. I legit only trust you to do have these guys on your show and ask them.

Perfectly said. Absolutely true.
"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"
Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

This is such a weird way to talk about most of these places, which are not small-ish cities unto themselves but wealthy, close-in suburbs of regional megacities. Alpharetta, for example, is directly north of Atlanta and made entirely out of office parks and luxury car dealerships

We need to:
✅ overturn Citizens United
✅ ban Congressional stock trading
✅ get dark money out of politics
To get corporate influence out of our politics and return it to the people.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

Democratic leadership has been trying to go back to the Clinton era when they should’ve been building on the Obama coalition. Socially, culturally, demographically, and politically, we, as a society, are not who we were in the Clinton era. Leadership has to move forward. bsky.app/profile/jlee...
My belief is that republicans freaked out when Obama was elected because his election was the first one that they couldn't prevent.
Obama got LESS of the white vote in 2012 and STILL won.
Dems don't need a majority of the white vote to win nationally, so they should stop chasing it so much.

This is why I want folks to stop announcing how white folks voted every November. This is the norm, and we can win without the majority of white voters.
Focusing on winning white voters and not on building a winning coalition is white supremacy…

It’s the racism, for sure. But I have also wondered if there is a certain bias I don’t have a name for — like, his natural athleticism makes him read as an action star even when he is doing drama?? So (especially white out-of-touch) voters don’t see him as an actor?
Or it’s just the racism.

Every once in a while I remember Michael B. Jordan hasn't even been NOMINATED for an Oscar yet. It's ridiculous. He's one of the best actors and biggest stars of his generation.
