Bark@barkmeta·
Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…
Chief Nerd@TheChiefNerd

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

Just out: Schumer-tied fundraisers at Fulkerson Kennedy & Co. have teamed up with lobbyists for OpenAI, a16z, and others to send House and Senate staffers on junkets. The AI companies involved are already spending millions against Dems via super PACs. readsludge.com/2026/03/11/ai-…

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired. Let’s start with Elon Musk.

Trump blames women in charge for everything. Now one woman he attacked viciously and without valid cause has been murdered. These attacks on women and DEI are literally deadly. And it’s not the first time.
LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻@LongTimeHistory

Trump riled up his MAGA cult against California fire captain calling her "DEI hire" — now she's been viciously murdered in her own home. Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi was found with multiple stab wounds that police say indicates a desperate fight for survival. She served 30 years with California Fire — including leading the fight against recent Los Angeles fires that MAGA Republicans scapegoat women firefighters for. Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi was planning to retire later this year. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

Hard to overstate how important @mcbyrne’s contributions and leadership has been to @UltraViolet and some of our biggest wins and most impactful moments. Thank you.

I helped @UltraViolet with their first ever in person action back in 2012 and began working with @SLThomas at that moment. It’s been an honor to work with her on projects for over 13 years!!! Her leadership is fierce and her dedication to justice is second to none.

The CFPB is dedicated to making sure you’re treated fairly by banks, lenders and other financial institutions and has returned billions to consumers, increased mortgage transparency, and sued bands for fraud. It’s deeply concerning that the richest man in the world is dismantling the agency that protects Americans from abuses by financial companies.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

CFPB RIP 🪦

This is a move you make only if you believe sexual assault and harassment is a good thing, actually. Hegseth may have backed off his position on women in the military for the cameras but the Admin is making things clear here: The military is not safe for women.
Steven Beynon@StevenBeynon

The Army has outright removed its sexual assault and harassment prevention rules, (AR 600-52) which govern record keeping for criminal prosecution & victim protection

I’ve worked with Sen. Lindsey Graham on 3 pieces of bipartisan legislation - the 2 that has passed into law are about sexual misconduct. I appreciate that he has serious questions about Hegseth

@peterbakernyt Sorry Mr. Baker but you are the one making meaning of this. Trump is simply an abuser who finds comfort in other abusers. All you’re doing is aggrandizing the effort.

The Rise of the Accused: In tapping appointees who have faced allegations of sexual misconduct, Trump, the first incoming president to be found liable in court for sexual abuse, appears intent on forcing a fight over the contours of the #MeToo movement nytimes.com/2024/11/19/us/…

@jonfavs The Clinton + Obama admins destroyed trust among the electorate that should be Dems but voted for Trump or didn’t vote. They don’t like Trumpism. If they did maybe you’d have a point. What’s “clear from the data” is that we as a country are desperate for change/have lost faith

I completely agree an economic narrative is essential. I don’t agree the rest is secondary or a side tactic, and it’s pretty clear from the data that most voters don’t either.
Adam Green@AdamGreen

Even if one 100% agrees, this is secondary. All the noise in Trump ads filled the void left by a candidate who didn't have an economic narrative in the gut. Not filling out questionnaires is a fine side tactic. Not the centerpiece of us connecting with working class voters.

If Dems want to maintain Black women’s support you better keep VP Harris’ name out of your mouth other than saying to her,”Thank you!” She understood the assignment and ran an excellent campaign. She was outstanding. VP Harris will not bear the burden nor take the blame for the majority of white America’s obsession with racism and lack of responsibility to protect a multi-racial democracy. You will own this one. While Nancy Pelosi talking about candidate scenarios perhaps she should figure out how to use her influence as a white woman to organize other white women and better understand how to end racism. I suggest that she starts with her own internalized thinking and actions first.
