learned about Francesca Fiorentini's The Bitchuation Room towards the end of last year when Kat Abughazaleh had her on stream.
great to see them back in conversation. need more ppl like them here. quick-witted, morally sound, fearless - slivers of hope that we're not completely fucked.

"Grok. It's like Uber for your brain. And #Grok is growing bigger and bigger, despite breaking laws and being criminally cringe.
...xAI has also violated federal laws like The Clean Air Act, as it poisons the people of Memphis with its datacenter that is literally named Colossus. Only to be outdone by the new Colossus 2, which is the worldโs first gigawatt datacenter. Thatโs a small countryโs worth of energy.
...And now, predictably, #xAI is working with the Pentagon...for their internal communications, but with the way AI companies have been collaborating with militaries in Israel, itโs only a matter of time before it's used on civilians.
So the question becomes: are you ready to stop using the job-killing, water-guzzling, thief of creativity and thought known as AI? I will if you will."

"How is what weโre seeing in Minneapolis simply a replica of whatโs been playing out on the US-Mexico border for decades? Murder, cover-ups, ramming vehicles and persecuting the vulnerable.
(0:02:59) Former border patrol agent turned immigrant rights advocateโ @JennBudd joins Francesca for an in-depth look at all of this, who is also featured in the new documentary #CriticalIncidentFilm on HBO Max.
(1:14:21) Governor Walz has issued a statement, but is that enough? Wajahat Ali joins to talk about the pathetic halfway measures Democrats are floating, and whatโs needed to get out of this mess."

"What if a mob boss had the power of the pardon? Weโre finding out.
...In his first year in office of his second term, Trump has pardoned a whopping 2,000 criminals who have committed all kinds of horrible acts and are still menaces to society...
In some form or another, every pardon Trump has issued has either allowed himself to avoid any consequences for his own crimes, been a mechanism to get rich, or was a way to extort political loyalty...
...Whether itโs criminals whoโve harmed women and children, crooked CEOs whoโve defrauded investors, or big time drug dealers who have made millions off illicit drugs while individuals face time for nonviolent possession, these criminals arenโt just Trumpโs criminals: some are legit monsters."

"Is Glinda a centrist? Is Elphaba a revolutionary leader or did she fail? And how does the story of Elphaba and Glinda working together teach us some lessons for fighting fascism in a very unmagical place: present-day United States?
Francesca unpacks the political allegories in Wicked... to look at how the allyship between Glinda and Elphaba mirrors characters within the Democratic Party... [as well as that of] revolutionary duos throughout history, like MLK Jr. and Malcolm X, Gandhi and Nehru, or Fidel Castro and Che Guevara -- changemakers who worked toward justice both inside and outside of their political systems, to bring change to their people."

"MAGA rarely disagrees. But blind support and billions of dollars to Israel is becoming a wedge.
#MarjorieTaylorGreene, #CandaceOwens, and #Tucker Carlson are openly speaking out against Israel, much to the chagrin of conservative and Christian Zionists. Francesca explains the rift between neoconservatives and the growing chorus of โgroypersโ who are ๐๐๐ฉ๐ช๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ antisemitic....
While the left and students protesting against war have been called antisemitic by the media or detained for speaking out, there is rฬฒeฬฒaฬฒlฬฒ antisemitism growing unabated on the right.
Who will win this war -- or has it already been won?"
