FUCK YEAH, NEW JERSEY!
this is why it’s imperative to fight the zombie corpse of the Clinton/Pelosi DLCC which was always right-wing election profiteering in the Democratic Party. a model, coincidentally, embraced by Keir Starmer in the UK.

REMINDER: corporatism IS fascism. USA's political elites are controlled by unelected corporatist oligarchs for whom politics isn't about party or nation but business. checkout how the DNC wants to price out the little people from their fundraisers. this is literal corporate capture but with political parties because oligarchs only care about the state violence they can capture & profit from.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

IF YOU WERE NEVER INVOLVED IN POLITICS TIL TRUMP, LEARN ONE THING:

the DNC have always two-timed grassroots activists, no matter how much money they raise for local or state democrats or the DNC itself.

that's why they're pricing out the grassroots nationwide. the bootlicking elite of the DNC depend on billionaire money.

corruption is the gateway to fascism. it's a historical fact.

the corporate capture of today isn't new. it is the 1939 corporatism that never went away.

blogdiva OP ,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

🗣️ THIS IS WHY YOU VOTE WITH YOUR PROTEST BOOTS ON

i keep repeating: DEMAND democrats, especially the leadership, say they're antifascist and take note of who does and doesn't.

because it should have made people cringe when an unhinged Nancy Pelosi went on tv in the bowels of Congress to declare WE ARE CAPITALISTS.

who is we? the working classes are not the ones making money out of insider knowledge with a portfolio that has it's own fucking subreddit.

that's her and her cronies, not us.

blogdiva OP ,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

YES, NO REPUBLICAN SHOULD ENTER THE WHITE HOUSE IN A CENTURY

but if all Dems are gonna be like Biden? then neither should the corporatist bootlickers of the Democratic Party.

and that's why i insist in making a distinction between them and people like AOC or Rashid. especially, Bloomberg's existential threat, Elizabeth Warren.

and then there's Bernie Sanders who was smart enough to leave the party back in the day because he knew the fuckery that was Clintonism.

VOTING IS HARM REDUCTION

blogdiva OP ,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

VOTING IS HARM REDUCTION
it's not a mandate when the opposition is fascist and the billionaire donors of your party's elite are part of that fascist opposition.

VOTING FOR POTUS ONLY MATTERS IN SWING #ElectoralCollege PRECINCTS
not having direct democracy is why it's easy for oligarchs to buy themselves a party. even the Greens, btw.

so don't worry about some shmuck in NYC not voting. worry about people not voting in fucking Maricopa county.

you're white in the South? STFU & hit the pavement

blogdiva OP ,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

IF YOU ARE WHITE AND IN A SWING #ElectoralCollege DISTRICT, GO TO WORK

it's not Darnell from the Bronx's job to get your neighbors to the polling places.

especially if they're young or Black or both. that's your job.

don't berate BIPOC or LGBTQI people online for telling you the truth about the fascism in this country: it's always been here, it's just been called Manifest Destiny, white supremacy, racism, homophobia, sexism.

so go to work. we all have different #antifascist work to do

blogdiva OP ,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

BUT REMEMBER:
VOTING IS HARM REDUCTION
that means you won't be able to delude yourself that you are done just by voting.

let me say it again, with the chest:

🗣️ VOTING IS HARM REDUCTION. YOUR #ANTIFA WORK IS NOT DONE BY JUST VOTING.

you know this has always been true, but now, you cannot continue pretending it was "those other people's problem". we didn't even have to tell you. Biden has shown his true political face and it's ugly.

so prepare to not rest until you stomp the last fascist

blogdiva OP ,
@blogdiva@mastodon.social avatar

THIS IS WHY SELF-CARE IS POLITICAL WARFARE because there was never a democracy after all and the job will not be done come November.

it's just that you chose to pretend racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, classism —all the social and political and economic hates and phobias— had nothing to do to with #fascism.

yet here we are.

so prepare yourself to fight Biden & his brand of Democrats even harder for the bare minimum. they'll sell everybody out for a bad #abortion win

blogdiva OP ,

AND WHY AM CALLING Y'ALL WHITE PEOPLE OUT especially if y'all out in the south? because more White people voted for Trump, a Republican, in 2020 than at any time in USA history. in the middle of a pandemic. after sitting at the last minute another illegitimate SCOTUS justice to the bench, Amy Barret Cohen, a woman who is literally in her thiclose to heretical flavor of Catholicism, a handmaiden.

61% of white men and 55% of white women voted for Trump in 2020.

that wasn't us. that was you.

image from NYTimes shows voting breakdown in 2020: 58% of White people voted for Trump; 48% for Biden. NONWHITE for Trump 26%; 71% for Biden. WHITE MEN 61% vs 38% WHITE WOMEN 55% vs 44% BLACK MEN 19% vs 79% BLACK WOMEN 9% vs 90% LATINO MEN 36% vs 59% LATINO WOMEN 30% vs 69% ALL OTHER 38% vs 58%

    Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.

    Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.

    https://policies.stackoverflow.co/data-request/

    The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.

    In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.

    Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.

    Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.

    The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?

    While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.

    Ben-Gvir is invoking God to justify Israel's attack on the Palestinians, as in God is on our side.

    Smotrich calls himself a "proud homophobe" and wants Torah law established in Israel's judicial system.

Yet, it saddens me enormously that it is often the most dynamic, brilliant, curious once, who are challenging status quo, committed to diversity and making our world a better place, who are leaving #academia.
