A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The thing is, AOC herself spoke out against this bill according to this article. And I really, really want her to explain this one, as much as I do not expect that she will.
I don't know how in the world I'm expected to have any faith whatsoever in our governance at any level when even our ostensibly most progressive voices aren't willing to block blatant garbage like this.
i lost my faith in our governance while deployed in iraq. nothing i've seen since has done anything to restore it. dunno how, but something has to change
I agree. My problem now is that people like Tlaib were who I looked to for how things could change, and yet here they are enabling worse instead of fighting for better. I can't square that circle, and it means I'm losing one of the last bastions of hope I had for a better world.
