Jesus Christ this is the most chilling thing I've read in ages. The "new understanding of truth" described here is not new in any way, it is basically a return to pre-literate dark ages & the inevitable result is going to be fascism.

Breaking trust bonds between people in society is an authoritarian trick. Democracy cannot function without trust.

Caitlin Clark!!! 🔥🔥 Got us back in the game.

Florida Republicans’ new gerrymandered congressional map violates a voter-approved state ban on partisan gerrymandering, voting advocates argued Friday, asking a court to block the state from using the map in the 2026 elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Part 1 - Trump in 2024 during the campaign when asked if he will be able to get Xi to release Jimmy Lai from prison if elected: “100% I’Il get him out. He’ll be easy to get out.” Part 2 - Today: “I brought up Jimmy Lai. I would say the response to that was, um, not positive.”

Hi. Not really sure how to promote this story...but it is about AI and the overwhelming feeling of it bleeding into everything with no concrete articulation for what a good version of that future looks like. It's about feeling like every 8th person is living on another planet. Hope you'll read it

Sure he was, dude. What a pathetic loser.

On Thursday, Microsoft shared mitigations for a high-severity Exchange Server vulnerability exploited in attacks that allow threat actors to execute arbitrary code via cross-site scripting (XSS) while targeting Outlook on the web users.

María de Jesús Estrada Juárez was applying for her green card and thought she was doing everything right. Instead, she was arrested and deported to Mexico. www.wired.com/story/a-woma...

Prof. Wurman (or his press, doubtful) hired an agency to sell his book to academics that describes him as a MAGA law professor and pitches his book by highlighting the singularly worst historical work I’ve ever read. If his book is anything like his common law stuff… it’s more valuable as kindling.

The first generation to truly grow up online, Generation Z and their cohort live in a social media ecosystem that blends facts and feelings. It’s significantly shifting how they understand what’s true. www.wired.com/story/book-e...

Why the Army has no money. This is indicative of a Pentagon in a dangerous swirl of robbing Peter to pay Paul in the irretrievably perturbed schedule. And it will keep getting worse.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

"This Supreme Court has shown that it is nothing but an illegitimate arm of the Republican Party. You have Supreme Court justices who swore up and down they respected precedent as it relates to Roe-- the first thing they did is overturn Roe. Same exact thing with redistricting."

I calculated the Pentagon's "black budget".... Using Claude, the LLM banned from the Pentagon by Hegseth, I went through the military’s initial budget submissions. I found $126 billion in programs either explicitly marked as classified, or described only through a code word. (1/2)

BLUMENTHAL: Suspending the gas tax ought to be combined with a big oil windfall profits tax. As you well know, big oil is raking in bonanza profits. Shell just announced a $7b profit last quarter. Would you support that? CHRIS WRIGHT: Ah. The oil and gas industry has had a rough couple decades.

I think we’re entering a period of what you might call “cognitive obesity,” akin to what the development of processed food and car culture systematically did to our bodies at the population level. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...

New in PN: FCC's Brendan Carr picks a fight w/ The View ... and winds up in a battle w/ Mickey Mouse "Disney seems to have come to the belated realization that knuckling under is bad for their bottom line. Allowing Carr to muzzle the ladies of The View would be like handing CBS over to Bari Weiss."

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

This would constitute one of the most brazen, most appalling acts of corruption in U.S. history. I know we’re numb to all of this but this is a seven-alarm fire. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

There’s no war here! Calling it a war is just a convenient way to pretend both sides carried the same weight! There is an imbalance. Period. You don’t heal imbalance by denying it ever existed! Call it what it is or nothing changes! #SheShed #SpeakTheTruth #WomensRightsMatter

This is why ICE tries to get everyone on a plane to Texas, Louisiana or Mississippi (5th Circuit) before the victims' lawyers can get to court.

The 6th Circuit has now joined the 2nd and 7th in rejecting ICE's interpretation of 8 U.S.C. § 1225. The 8th finds that § 1225 does not permit indefinite detention of undocumented immigrants detained in areas away from the border. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

They keep saying it’s “not about race.” Then why do Black voting districts keep getting dismantled in state after state? There’s a deeper fear driving parts of modern American politics ...and this article goes straight at it. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

"I feel that there's a need for accountability... by investigations and ultimately impeachment and removal of this criminal president. And, that's where I come in. As a lawyer who's litigated and conducted investigations for 3 decades here in New York, I think I have a special talent for that.

On 4/30, DHS publicly slammed a judge’s decision to release someone from ICE custody while he was waiting for an immigration court hearing. But ICE had told the RI US attorney’s office “not to confirm or deny” in court proceedings that there was a homicide warrant for him in another country. 🧵

NEW FROM ME: The president posts 19 times a day on average. Most of those posts go unnoticed. But then, they’re…yknow…the president talking to the world. So I figured, let’s just read and analyze all of them. www.npr.org/2026/05/08/n...

Global oil reserves are being released at record pace, all to keep oil around $100 a barrel. This isn’t sustainable, and the administration has no plan to reopen the Strait.
