This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this. The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”

4. I think that it is important that critics of LLMs get this. The 'LLMs are useless which is terrible and everyone is using them which is also terrible' shtick contained contradictions even in the beginning, which took a lot of work to maintain . Now it contradicts people's lived experiences.

Home of reformist opposition leaders from 2009 Green Movement, Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard was also hit by Israeli/US strikes. They have been under house arrest by the regime for over a decade.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Proof that it's possible to sink lower than the gutter.

Nice panic you've got there. A shame if everything collapsed all around you.

Wow.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

The devil Steve Bannon worked with the pedophile king to attack the Jesuit pope over Church doctrine on social justice. Time to shine a spotlight on the "trad" Catholic right wing extremists (step forward JD Vance) who abuse Church teaching to drive their hate. www.cnn.com/2026/02/14/w...

This is, ahhhhh, not good

Had literally *any* other nation done this the anger being heard across the media airwaves and from politicians would be deafening and unending.

Love it when this administration's obscene tweets become evidence against them in court

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

The president who has believes that Italian military satellites were used to hack voting machines in a joint CIA-Chinese operation has sent his intelligence chief to look for evidence of voter fraud. What could go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Are the Republicans going to put up with having a senile or demented president?

News outlets declaring “Trump Accepts Nobel Peace Prize” is a red alert state media indicator

Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.

There is no scenario where this sentiment is appropriate for a law enforcement agency.

Smart. She has a strong case.

We're knotted.

This is the account of the French Foreign Ministry

Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign. Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world. This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

Quite the unintentionally ironic use of this song about young men whose fathers were rich enough to get them out of the draft!
