Politicians fear banishment by a party remade in #Trump’s image &… #primary opponents financed by #Musk, the president’s all-powerful partner & the world’s richest man.
“When you see important societal actors—be it #university presidents, #media outlets, CEOs, mayors, governors—changing their behavior in order to avoid the wrath of Trump, that’s a sign that we’ve crossed the line into some form of #authoritarianism,” said Steven Levitsky, a prof of govt at Harvard….
"Mark Warner on Fox: "I may disagree with the president, but I respect the office of the president. I'm probably not gonna be jumping up applauding a lot, but I owe him his due as president. The president has made great, great progress on border crossings. That's something we ought to
celebrate."

Warner appears to have a problem with immigrants. It's disgusting that he's lauding #Trump on his crackdown of migrants at the border, esp. coming from a Dem.
Interested in a creative cross-curricular #primary project linking #Maths and #Computing? Our paper "Engineering in the Classroom" describes the #StitchInTime approach using @turtlestitch to create beautiful fabric patterns. https://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/id/eprint/187122
He's new to me, but I hope to hear a lot more of him and from him:
He's going to #primary Nancy #Pelosi
He is #AOC's former chief of staff

@robertkaplinsky @pustam_egr @christianp @tao @marybourassa @mathequalslove @standupmaths @KarenCampe Hi friends and members of #mtbos and #iteachmath I need your help: I have a child and he needs to multiply. So in his school teachers teach him "multiply tables".
But I think in 21th century we could do better to memorize digit x digit tables.
Is there any method using only sums and counts and using ideally fingers to get \( a \times b \) without having to memorize?
You can justify using modulars forms of super-abstract-algebra if you want, but the problem is easy: find an east algorithm to get the multiplication of axb where a, b are interers < 9.
I did not find nothing more than:
- multiply by 9:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCpyag9XLgI
- multiply by numbers between 6 and 9
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xetE0IN-w3g but it requieres multiply by numbers less than 5.
- ypu can reduce to memorize all multiply tables to just \( a \times b \) where \( a <b \) which gives us just 55 lines of memorization instead of 100.
But this are not ideal result.
I CC some university professors because perhaps you know some research about that rather than regular secondary or primary teachers.
Thanks in advance and sorry for disturb you.
X Window 下多個 Selection 的問題
整理資料的時候發現繞了一大圈，在英文版的維基百科上面有蠻完整的歷史說明：「X Window selection」。
這邊就是自己遇到問題後整理起來的。我遇到的問題是在 QEMU 裡面的 Windows 10 複製的東西，在 WezTerm 無法用 Shift-Insert 貼上，但在瀏覽器上卻可以用 Ctrl-V 貼上。
這是因為 X Window 有好幾個 selection (或是你當作「剪貼簿」)，這點在最開

#centrist #democrats as super powerful is a lie
they are weak milquetoast
the dem party is just an empty vessel, fill it with what you want
(and because of #duvergerslaw in our shitty #fptp voting system #thirdparty is a dead end until we get #rcv)
anyone who does not show up to #vote in the #primaries #primary: shut the fuck up. you have no idea how to get effective change

@504DR @johnlogic @AlliFlowers @bolson
exactly
everyone is familiar with "how can i vote #democrat if they are so milquetoast #centrist"
they are so centrist because you don't show up in the #primaries, motherfuckers
the *#midterm* primaries
it's. on. *you*.
everyone in the #usa:
#vote or fuck off
if you don't vote, shut the fuck up
agreed 100%
we can go deeper
the #GOP used to be ambivalent, even helpful about #rcv #rankedchoicevoting like alaska
but national #republican ghouls noticed the problem:
they are for #votersuppression, not enhancing our choices. and so they banned it:
https://www.npr.org/2024/06/05/nx-s1-4969563/ranked-choice-voting-bans
now the #democrats aren't exactly in love with rcv, but there has been successes: maine, nyc, etc
so we must vote #democrat and push them to install rcv. make it an issue in #primary elections #primaries2026

#Mucarsel-Powell wins FL Dem #primary to take on Repub Rick Scott in #Florida #Senate race https://www.yahoo.com/news/mucarsel-powell-rick-scott-florida-000318054.html
She is a great #candidate & we have an abortion measure on the ballot. Show her some love & some cash if you can!
Today is Dem #primary day in #Florida & also a chance to vote in some local elections. If you are a registered #Democrat be sure to get out & support the strongest #Senate candidate to beat Rick Scott, & whatever your party (or none), vote for the folks running for School Board who oppose #BookBans & for the local officials who care about our beautiful environment.
A #strong #democracy and trusted #electoral #system are foundational requirements for progress on any number of issues.
Donors who haven’t funded in this area, or see democracy issues as outside their interests, should take a wider view of how to advance their values.
Donors who already support work on voting and elections should consider ramping up their giving during this period of growing threats to U.S. democracy
️Where to Donate for Voting Rights and Democracy
Organizations focused on protecting and strengthening electoral systems.
Donors must first and foremost invest in shoring up the democratic system in the short term.
This means supporting #legal #efforts to 
push back on unfounded claims of fraud as well as challenging unfair election laws.
Funding for this strategy should also go to groups focused on making voting easier and more accessible,
advocating for policies like expanded early voting, automatic and same day registration, and the
repeal of felony disenfranchisement laws.
On the legal side, donors can support the 
Brennan Center for Justice, https://www.brennancenter.org/NAACP Legal Defense Fund, https://naacpldf.org/Demos https://www.demos.org/ and Campaign Legal Center https://campaignlegal.org/
All four groups engage in #litigation, #research and #policy advocacy.
Organizing for a more expansive and inclusive democracy.
Low-income people, communities of color and young people participate in elections and civic life at lower levels than the general public.
To create a more representative democracy and advance progressive change, donors should invest in organizations that work to engage these voters.
Groups like Community Change https://www.communitychange.org/and Center for Popular Democracy https://www.populardemocracy.org/
both work with and support #grassroots groups and leaders throughout the country,
with a focus on #working #class #communities of #color.
Donors can also support the Voter Participation Center and its c4 arm,
the Center for Voter Information, https://www.centerforvoterinformation.org/
which work to increase turnout among “#new #American #majority” voters,
as well as support groups focused on #young #voters,
such as NextGen America https://nextgenamerica.org/
and TurnUp https://www.turnup.us/
Groups advocating for democratic reforms.
A range of reforms can help create a democracy that is more responsive,
offering voters more choices and fostering fairer outcomes as well as increased trust in our electoral system.
Donors can support FairVote, https://fairvote.org/
which advocates for #ranked #choice voting and #proportional #representation,
and has already had some success at the state and local levels;
and Unite America, https://www.uniteamerica.org/
which focuses on #independent #redistricting, #primary #reform,
as well as #instant #runoff voting.
In the race’s final days, #conservatives looking to oust #Omar mounted a late effort to take advantage of #Minnesota’s open #primary format & convince #Republicans to skip their party’s primary & instead vote for Samuels, a fmr member of the Minneapolis city council.
Royce White, the state #GOP-endorsed #Senate candidate, posted to X that he would gladly give up 5k votes in the fifth congressional district to help unseat Omar.
