In this #HotTake I explore a new #idea of #world #citizenship for everyone.

No #passport needed, just have one #border - #life itself.

Have a couple world laws any #region enforces about ones well being, but don't #weaponize things on that level. Leave the rest up to individual #cities to cultivate.

This is about #respect, #culture #conservation and #human #dignity. Throughout #locations where only common ground makes decisions, rather than #laws or #empires instead.

#MissKittyPolitics I love it. This is how we do! Yes. I have spoken a few times about our need to create sustainability. Right now, for the next decade maybe if we aren't all dead, I have to ignore the #climate #impact so that I can #weaponize #AI against our enemies. Information is vital.

…Senior #Trump officials’ dishonest portrayal of #AlexPretti as a domestic terrorist is not a slip of the tongue or an impulsive idea.

Instead, it appears to be part of the admin’s campaign to #demonize #opposition to its anti-immigrant policies as “domestic terrorism,” & to #weaponize powers of the #federal government against such perceived political opponents.

The Smearing of Alex Pretti and NSPM-7

How administration officials' labelling Alex Pretti and Renee Good as "domestic terrorists" fits in with NSPM-7.

The investigation by #JeninePirro’s office is the latest escalation in a campaign by #Trump & his allies to exact retribution on those he views as enemies seeking to undermine his admin or his authority as commander in chief.

…#ElissaSlotkin, a former #CIA officer who served 3 tours in Iraq, described the investigation as an effort by an #authoritarian president to #weaponize the federal government & intimidate her into silence.

@hopland @Ember well, it could just #backdoor shit.

Always think how you can #weaponize something, and then realize you are at best 1% as clever as state-sponsored hackers that take years to plant in #backdoors...

Or does everyone here now have #Zoomer-Level Attention Span and can't remember the shitshow with #xzutils ?

With "#AI" / "#LLM", this becomes trivial as the code will be unmaintainable mess!

If this was some random tool someone built, this would not be a problem, but we're talking about a password manager - literally the digital "keymaker" or key-keeper to peoples' digital lives...

In attacking #LisaCook, the FIRST #Black #woman to EVER serve as a #Fed governor, both #Trump & Pulte signaled anew their willingness to #weaponize the instruments of government to #influence monetary #policy, even though experts long have warned that interfering with the Fed & its #independence could bring about catastrophic economic & financial consequences.
