cannot say this enough:

Tom Steyer is running as a democrat in California to sabotage the other Democratic Party candidates, especially Katie Porter.

she would veto this legislation.

DO NOT TRUST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ESTABLISHMENT.

the #California primaries are a referendum on #billionaires #techbros and ultimately, the kind of corporatist #fascism that passes for centrism in this country.

BILLIONAIRES ARE THE ENEMY. don't let Steyer hand California to the fascists.

Compared to other 3D printer laws proposed this year, California’s is the most troubling. It criminalizes open source, reduces consumer choice, and creates a new bureaucratic burden. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/dang… #opensource #3dprinting #AB2047

The Dangers of California’s Legislation to Censor 3D Printing

California’s bill, AB 2047, will not only mandate censorware on all 3D printers; it will also criminalize the use of open-source alternatives.

Joy-Ann Reid looks at the long history of the right's red-pilling of men in the US and the economic forces funding this:

"What these men of right wing media were selling was consistent: resentment against racial minorities, particularly Black people; anger against poor people; venomous rage against liberated women; anger against secular Americans and liberal Democrats;" (continued in /2).

Elon Musk's #SpaceX has confidentially filed for a #US #IPO, setting the stage for what could become the largest #StockMarket listing on record.

A public listing at a potential valuation of >$1.75 trillion would signal that #SpaceExploration has moved from a speculative venture to a ‌mainstream #investment. SpaceX's growth has been driven by its reusable rockets & the #Starlink satellite internet network.

They want you to rent everything, including intelligence.

#Billionaires are the problem. It's either them or us. It's ALL one fight.

Sam Altman: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

Meaning: We stole all your knowledge , writing, and art, and now we’re gonna put a meter on it and sell it back to you. You’re welcome.”
