It's fun to think that things changed, maybe only incrementally, since #MeToo, then see an organization plan to honor a known creep who made women at work uncomfortable. Neat!

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

"I refuse." This is it. There's no reason we should accept a narrative of an already settled future which marginalizes humans and individual agency. No one wants this. No one asked for it.
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.

Pritzker is doing a great job of both framing and prebunking.
Framing — he’s giving a way of understanding what the administration is trying to do by giving a different American narrative.
Prebunking — he’s warning people about the disinfo, the false narrative, the Trump people will use.

Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in

The reason you don't give ground on trans rights - beyond the simple morality of it being wrong to do so - is because you don't give ground on rights period, and if you're willing to let it slide for one marginalized group it means everyone else is just a matter of price
First they came for the socialists etc. What if they came for some really small marginalized group of people (0.05% of population), and because we tied ourselves in knots trying to keep everyone happy, we never got into power, and never achieved anything.

Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.

With the help of four Democrats, House Republicans just voted to pass H.R. 22 — one of the biggest threats to voting rights that we’ve seen in a generation. If you’re represented by Reps. Case (HI-01), Cuellar (TX-28), Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03), or Golden (ME-02), they need to hear from you today.
