The ABCs of Phone Banking the Ground Truth Way · Swing Left

Phone banking for Ground Truth is different from traditional phone banking. It gives you the opportunity to listen and learn how the voter feels about the state of the country, their major issues and where they fall on the political spectrum. Join us to find out how phone banking for Ground Truth can impact the outcome of the 2026 midterms. We'll conduct a mock Ground Truth conversation, then give you the chance to critique us! We'll then go into breakout rooms where you can engage in a mock Ground Truth conversation with fellow participants. It should be a lot of fun!

#Economics and #GroundTruth shoutouts: I recommend everyone with an interest in current economy follow #PaulKrugman on his #YouTube channel. He’s doing some on demand solo and guest flights that make it a bit easier to follow the money, such as it is

Ground Truth Canvass Training · Swing Left

Thank you for signing up for a Ground Truth canvass! Together, we can transform how we talk with voters, rebuild trust, and swing the most competitive races for Democrats. ### Join us for an in-depth training before you hit the doors, where we'll go over: - The strategy behind the Ground Truth program - Who we'll be talking to, and what we'll be saying - Tips for effective conversations using our empathetic listening script - How to use the canvassing app *Sign up for a training anytime before the canvass you're attending. The closer you can join to when your actual canvass is, the better, since we'll be making changes and improvements each week.* While this training is optional, we highly recommend attending – this is a different kind of canvassing than most of us are used to, using a brand new canvassing app. If you can't make it to the training, please reference the materials we send out in advance to make sure you're up to speed before you arrive at the canvass. Your canvass lead will have time for a short on-site training before you start knocking.

Meanwhile in Ireland, bus stop signs (where they exist) show random numbers to confuse travelers. Neither 376 nor NG03 go anywhere near this bus stop, neither even come through the town. On the other hand, route 600 and 717 do stop here. How are we supposed to map #GroundTruth ? #OpenStreetMap #PublicTransport

"This paper advances the critical analysis of machine learning by placing it in direct relation with actuarial science as a way to further draw out their shared epistemic politics. The social studies of machine learning—along with work focused on other broad forms of algorithmic assessment, prediction, and scoring—tends to emphasize features of these systems that are decidedly actuarial in nature, and even deeply actuarial in origin. Yet, those technologies are almost never framed as actuarial and then fleshed out in that context or with that connection. Through discussions of the production of ground truth and politics of risk governance, I zero in on the bedrock relations of power-value-knowledge that are fundamental to, and constructed by, these technosciences and their regimes of authority and veracity in society. Analyzing both machine learning and actuarial science in the same frame gives us a unique vantage for understanding and grounding these technologies of governance. I conclude this theoretical analysis by arguing that contrary to their careful public performances of mechanical objectivity these technosciences are postmodern in their practices and politics."
