On April 30, 2026, thirty-seven physicians and mental health professionals signed a statement that was entered into the United States Senate’s Congressional Record by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island. open.substack.com/pub/twvme/p/...

A better AI future will not come from making machines more human-shaped. It will come from making institutions more responsible for the systems they build. American Epistemics: The Machine Doesn't Need to Be Right, Only Fast open.substack.com/pub/twvme/p/... #anthropic #peterthiel #objectionai

As we've recently seen with Nancy Metayer and Dr Cerina Fairfax, trying to leave an abuser is the danger zone. This is not new, this is a pattern of behavior, yet it remains illegible to a legal system that perpetuates harms. open.substack.com/pub/twvme/p/...

I watched that cringe-filled moment. On behalf of the people who share this rock with you, we’re sorry that HE had to be a part of any of your historic journey.

The sweetness of the screeching baboon finally calling out her own party is so rich with schadenfreude that I just might get diabetes.

If AI training is mandatory, it’s work. If it’s work, it’s billable, no matter what your bill rate is. Otherwise you’re not building capability, you’re extracting free labor, and that is coercion. If you want lawers knowledgeable enough to keep pace with tech, you must make the investment.

On Monday, the FCC updated its Covered List to prohibit new foreign-manufactured consumer routers from receiving equipment authorization in the United States. The justification is cybersecurity. This NOT a security solution open.substack.com/pub/twvme/p/...

Leqaa Kordia was released today after a year in federal immigration detention. As S.T.O.P.’s Eleni Manis and Michelle Dahl write, her detention was enabled by data-sharing between the NYPD and ICE: "It's the predictable consequence of New York City’s out-of-control surveillance infrastructure."

John Roberts, the man who contributed more to enabling Trump's lawlessness than anyone except perhaps Mitch McConnell, evidently just realized that his monster has turned on him. Among other rulings, Roberts brought us unlimited dark money in campaigns and absolute immunity for Trump.

Education level isn’t everything. But arrogance and ignorance together is a hell of a combo.

Things are not okay.

🚨 IT'S ELECTION DAY 🚨 This is it. Today decides everything. Let's make it count: Knock doors, make calls, talk to your friends, and make sure everyone you know in IL-09 makes their voice heard!

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this. open.substack.com/pub/jonathan...

Huh. This is the same thing they said about an ICU nurse who took care of veterans and was a beloved member of his community

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

The Gadsden flag doesn’t belong to MAGA or the GOP. It was rented, misused, and left in worse condition than when they found it. Liberals should take it back, not through aesthetic theater but through accountability work that restores the flag’s original meaning. open.substack.com/pub/twvme/p/...
