As an IP lawyer, frustrating to see all the effort going into tracking people and their cars with AI and net 0 effort on tracking content used either for machine learning or produced by AI which infringes the copyrights and patents of others. Heck, where's the ID and tracking just on youtube ?

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES SOUND UP DAY 17 MAY 2026 THESE HORRIFIC TIMES Take a moment to listen and share This post by @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy Yes Dr. Reich This gave me the chills Powerful Message Silence is not just complicity but active participation This powerful message

Without specifics on age, I was able to celebrate the bicentennial year of the US as an adult. Saw the Queen with Gerry Ford and the spectacular NYC harbor fireworks over the Statue of Liberty on the 4th. So many wonderful celebrations. Sadly, we all need to just skip the 250th nonsense under DT.

The stories & photos from today’s voting rights marches in Alabama deserve to be seen by people who weren’t able to stand there in person. If this piece moves you, please share it widely & help make sure these voices aren’t lost in the noise of a crowded news cycle. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Xi said in discussions with DT that he hoped they could avoid the Thucydides Trap. The likelihood DT has any idea what that means in exactly -0-. In diplomatic slang, the leader of China just suggested war with the US.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Rep. Stansbury: "This administration is choosing to not investigate the crimes that are in these files. The administration is choosing to release the names of survivors and not perpetrators…The administration is trying to gaslight the American people."

Maternal mortality rates have skyrocketed in states where abortion has been banned and Donald Trump has the audacity to hold a maternal healthcare press conference? What a total farce.

Please, if we can get a CIA leak of a key document to undermine this stupid war against Iran, please, please, please if you are in a position to do so, leak anything you know and/or every single unreacted document at the FBI and DOJ as well as those held by state investigators in NY, FL, and NM.

May Day 2026 in Studio City CA. SCOTUS has joined DT. Good move Roberts. @maddow.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Brilliant on the Iran War. @adamsmith.house.gov youtu.be/pE-dV4BtK6Q?...

Want to know something you can do in the wake of the VRA ruling? Call your state representatives and yell at them to pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, so that all of our votes for president actually MATTER EQUALLY. www.nationalpopularvote.com

Starting a thread of phrase King Charles could have included in his speech: "But may I say as a King, that your president will never be one and no amount of gold filigree in the Oval Office or that ballroom can change that."

Tom Homan invited the Pope to meet with him and ICE so the Pope could understand how they work protecting immigrants as well as Americans (stoping border crossings=stopping trafficking). Why not instead allow clergy into detention centers where over 70% are held only on civil violations?

Truth here We hire / vote in people to work for us... We, the People But we're geting screwed daily by our so-called lawmakers who kiss trump's behind thinking he will protect them... so pitiful

A seemingly small detail, the prevalence of DOJ lawyers reporting to judges that they simply don't know the facts about what an agency or department may be doing, telegraphs to any lawyer the obvious conclusion: a well versed criminal would never tell his lawyer about a crime they committed.

@katiephang.bsky.social thank you for your testimony today on media consolidation and the proposed Paramount - Warner merger. www.youtube.com/live/xETe83T...

A U.S. citizen is speaking out after being detained in a Minnesota facility, exposing what he describes as "horrific" conditions.

As innocent people are inclined to do ...

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @gomez.house.gov A constituent. Each of you are in a better position than most to intervene and possibly interdict whatever actions DT and his administration will do with respect to the conduct of their war on Iran. The time is now. bsky.app/profile/verm...

@harrylitman.bsky.social @lawfaremedia.org @annabower.bsky.social @weissmann.substack.com Is there a mechanism for the United States, qua client, to waive conflicts on the part of its own lawyers? What is it? Is it a function of the Attny General? e.g. Blanche conflicted by prior rep of DT.

If you have a dual screen array for your computer or a large screen, try putting up the NASA livestream from Artemis on one panel with audio and then doom scroll the Iran war and the death of our democracy on the other.

Sneak peek of the Trump “presidential” library

"The Secretary of Defense is a disgraced major that was kicked out of the DC National Guard."

DT giving up on Iran and the Straits, as he should. No way for him to come back and recover domestically from the combination of the ICE terror and the revelations/proof of his likely pedophilia. He should give up the presidency and jump start the grift for his Trump Tower Presidential Library.

L.A. No Kings 'Lady Liberty' ig: @that.vvitch

Pasadena, CA NO KINGS march and gathering at city hall. 03 28 26 Not a paid protestor among them and as earnest and true a group of folks as could be found anywhere in the Nation. #nokings @maddow.bsky.social 1/3

Let's not forget the Trump-Epstein Files cover up at the DOJ by Blanche and Bondi neither of whom should have been able to touch them in first place. Photo from Los Angeles City Hall No Kings on 03 28 26. May be used anywhere royalty free without attribution or with.

Los Angeles, CA City Hall 03 28 26 NO KINGS Very large turnout. #nokings @maddow.bsky.social 1/5

@elijahplovejoy.bsky.social 1/2 You've brought up a number of times the importance of trade union participation in No Kings and similar protests - - as in, where the F are they. Didn't see Teamsters, IATSE etc... at LA No Kings but these great folks showed (over 200 of the teachers).

Highland Park, Los Angeles, CA 03 28 26 NO KINGS #nokings @maddow.bsky.social 1/3

#NoKings at San Francisco’s ocean beach — protesters joined to form a human banner saying Trump must go now.

Feels appropriate to point out on No Kings day: Allowing Trump to selectively pay employees he likes, when he feels like it, rather than having Congress solve the problem, is a real constitutional threat. From @joshchafetz.bsky.social donmoynihan.substack.com/p/mike-johns...

nestled in @mattgertz.bsky.social's fantastic report about <sad trombone> collapse at Bari Weiss/Ellison's CBS is how—well look at that—Wapo and La Times are *also* hemorrhaging subscribers 👀

Donny and his pal Pete with the US military will be bringing Iran to its knees. Donny thought a week, but they are likely to take the long view. "Iran, often recognized as one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations, was first unified as a nation and empire around 625 BC by the Medes."

On NPR’s ATC an interview with an expert on Iran listing available retaliations; closing the Strait; attacking neighbors in the Gulf; destroying oil infrastructure; threatening Dubai as sanctuary; blasting desalination plants. The host failed to ask: didn’t the US plan for this? Fu*king infuriating.
