“Congress hasn’t passed any legislation that requires AI developers to conduct safety testing. It’s largely up to the companies and their leaders to police themselves. Nobody has voted on…this massive societal change.” -–@AndersonCooper (this is insane)

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns of potential dangers of fast moving unregulated AI, while also racing against competitors to develop advanced AI. And his team investigates how AI can think for itself, and even threaten humans with the info it holds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAPp...

With all this false info at the nation’s most important and (formerly) trusted site concerning health and disease, how many children will die? How many formerly dangerous, now conquered diseases will return to endanger America’s youth? Trump spreads incompetence and death.

So, when the Trump administration decided banning swastikas would be too "divisive" of a policy for the Coast Guard, were any Jews consulted? (Washington Post)

BREAKING: Our racist fascist president is giving comfort and cover to his fellow racists and fascists that exist in the Armed Services. This is really scary. Where is America going now, under America's Chief Hater Trump? (Washington Post)

This week, Prince MBS "signed a deal for Saudis to buy dozens of F-35 stealth fighter jets, most advanced U.S. warplane. Pentagon officials are worried...China might be able to acquire the plane’s technology thru espionage or its security partnership" w/Saudis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The talent, passion and originality of Rosalia keeps expanding; on her new, fourth, album, as well as performing on U.S. TV earlier this week. Unstoppable: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVdn...

All of this below⬇️esp. the Saudis’ billions in investment to Trump’s family, is bad enough. But I wonder: is Trump also being taken in as a sucker? A @nytimes.com story today reports that Saudi Prince MBS’ famous wealth fund is now “low on cash” because of investments that did not pan out.

Jen Psaki asks what Saudi Prince MBS did for Trump that inspired Trump’s “lovey-dovey” treatment in last 2 days--holding his hand, putting arm around him repeatedly etc? Trump says Saudis have done little for him & his family, Psaki shows why this is a complete LIE www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS4T...

“In post-Brexit politics, it’s hard to see how one out-Farages Nigel Farage….as Labour is attempting to do. Copying [his] cruelty on asylum lets Farage own the issue…gifting him the advantage, while setting up Labour to look cruel & incompetent.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

.@TheRickWilson: a big reason that MAGA might be breaking now is its origins lie in the B.S. Qanon conspiracies of 2015-16 that alleged false pedophile rings—the revelations of Trump’s links with & cover-up of real pedophile Epstein may be too much for them now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI13...

A disturbing eport on how extreme-right activists have created an atmosphere where the teaching of civics, the Constitution & race/gender are being withdrawn or censored. GOP doesn’t want students to know about the Constitution?! Makes sense w/Trump as president. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/u...

Trump administration is taking a harder line attacking anti-fascist academics/activists trying to inform the public about the authoritarian far right, fascists and racists inspired by Trump’s GOP. Here’s the story of one scholar forbidden to leave USA⬇️. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The AI industry--tech companies and the energy companies that feed them--make up ~50% of U.S. markets now. We haven’t seen this kind of concentration since railroads in 19th-century. If this market crashes, according to @biancoresearch, everyone in U.S. will feel it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xztI...

“A @propublica.org / @theguardian.com analysis by independent researchers found Trump’s “America First” agenda of expanding fossil fuels and decimating efforts to reduce emissions will add substantially to that toll, causing 1.3M deaths, mostly outside the U.S.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yeah, the Trump administration withdrew this devastatingly nasty new policy, but now, after enduring weeks of stress, disabled Americans know how much the president and his people hate and disrespect them. (Washington Post)

So, when is @nicollewallace.bsky.social going to shear off the East Wing in the graphic that begins her show every weekday? Or would that be too painful for a former political White House employee?

“The view of America overseas is becoming quite tarnished because this [Trump] administration seems to want to push its friends away, instead of hugging them, instead of keeping them close for strength.” --Christiane Amanpour This Yankee in London agrees. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0qd...

Wow. To see and hear some real leadership on how we need to protect young women & girls from trafficking and rape in the post-Epstein era, check out the powerful @RepLSimon below. Truth to power. Now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGYu...

@nickkristof.bsky.social provides examples of the many ways Trump is purposely trying to destroy American greatness honed over many generations—so he can force his cruel extreme-right political vision on everyone else & make sure his rich friends profit more. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/o...

The great @couriernewsroom.bsky.social compiled the 20,000 documents from Epstein's estate, released by House Oversight Committee last week,into an easily searchable site. If you find anything particularly interesting, tell 'em: [email protected] journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

I warned this would happen. More than any other administration ever, the DOJ is in Trump's pocket, doing Trump's bidding--even if the Congressional vote to release them yesterday was 427-1. (Washington Post)

Anyone who read about tariffs for about a minute knew this would happen. Trump couldn't be bothered. He digs them because the power they give him strokes his ego. But they're mostly harmful for Americans. Doofus president strikes again. (@nytimes.com)

There's a shady eucalyptus grove near the beach in Goleta, California where friends and I used to go and watch the gorgeous Monarch butterflies fall from the trees & mate in the air before flying off to Mexico. Can hardly wait to see what these scientists and their new sensors find. (@nytimes.com)

“Imagine how much more aware people would be about White House corruption if news stories stopped saying “Trump said…” and instead said, “Trump, a convicted felon, said…” At the very least, why not use that phrase when Trump accuses someone else of a crime?” [email protected]

Yes, Trump’s shockingly corrupt pardon regime allows criminals who serve Trump to get away with major crimes. But as @markjacob.bsky.social notes, the MSM also fails to report the major crimes the pardons erased, esp. in the case of Bannon and Trump himself. www.stopthepresses.news/p/how-the-me...

BREAKING: Texas’ attempt to gratify Trump & add 5 Congress seats to sway 2026 midterms was just REJECTED by a judge because Texas had executed a “racial gerrymander,” illegally stealing legit earned seats from people of color. “It’s a great day for democracy,” argues winning lawyer Marc E Ellis.

And be assured that, despite today’s overwhelming vote, “Trump is not going to stop fighting [the release of the Epstein files]…this is not over.” --lawyer Kristy Greenberg, just now

It was inspiring and refreshing today to see a dozen or so of Epstein’s victims celebrating, speaking about today’s resounding 427-1 vote to release the full Epstein files. But let’s remember that Epstein and his elites abused about 1000 underage women. The evil is so widespread.

To an extent I’d never seen before on “news” shows, Jon Stewart uncovers the seamy pedophile world the Epstein emails revealed and how the MSM, not just Fox News, essentially ignored it. Most disturbing of all, this behavior “trivializes & politicizes” pedophilia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaAu...

Mr JonStewart at 12:00 in the video below⬇️, shows us what Fox News was airing after the 1000s of Epstein emails came out two wks ago: the phasing out of the penny, the growing popularity of Christian music, Kamala Harris cooking, etc. Protecting corrupt Trump AGAIN. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaAu...

Citizens in U.S. cities are creating community training events, most recently in North Carolina, where residents learn protest and resistance tactics to respond to unconstitutional, overly violent ICE raids and arrests taking place in their city. Beautiful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M6M...

In Trump’s DOJ and FBI, investigations into child sex trafficking and counter-terrorism cases have been stopped, so they can focus more on supposed immigration crimes. Also FBI Director Patel has increased the financial value of gifts he can now accept. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzGF...

Talking to my Dad last night, he asked: “how does Trump get away with all of this?” I think he meant the lying, the lawbreaking, billions in graft, etc. A reporter who saw the Watergate scandal first-hand tries to tell us the answer, and a way forward: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

One of President Trump's most embarrassing, stupid, anti-democracy remarks ever. And that's saying something. (Guardian)

U.S. intel said in 2018 that Saudi Crown Prince MBS “likely ordered” the killing of Washington Post journalist Khashoggi. He just arrived at the White House today for the 1st time since then. Just as Trump Org is about to close a real estate deal with him. Of course. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOGN...

America’s generation-spanning commitment to the best in public education and its funding led to its world-leading economy and innovation, such as the Magnificent Seven tech companies today. Trump is tearing all that down now, dismantling Dept of Education. (1 of 2) www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/o...

Maybe. But the famous pal of pedophiles could well pull a last-minute trick to censor the Epstein files again--like claiming the files can't be released because of the new DOJ investigation he now wants into Democrats & Epstein. Then he'll say, "oh, I wanted to release them, but...!"

Trump has extensively used songs from Taylor Swift’s new LP to promote himself and his agenda, featuring Taylor lyrics linked to Trump’s image & ideas. In years past, she talked about how she wants to be “on the right side of history”—where is Taylor now? www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

Charming new @nprtinydesk.bsky.social show starring Pulp, who just released their 1st new LP in 24 years & it just shows how singular and off the beaten track they’ve always been. They do four of my fave songs of theirs over the last 30 years, including a new one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Kl...

Years before they were signed and famous, Squeeze wrote and recorded a concept album entitled "Trixie's" that did not thrill any record companies. Now, it's finally coming out in 2026, and the 1st single is here. Here's the whole tale laid bare: www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

See the tape yourself: Trump Administration is finally trying to do something about higher grocery prices in 2025, but what they’re doing is paring back Trump’s tariffs that caused much of this—yet, watch White House officials try not to admit that on TV: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi66...

David A French makes the Christian argument against the “national shame” of the Trump administration using masked armed troops to arrest U.S. citizens & other innocents without warrants: “you can have a controlled border without dehumanizing people.” Amen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=siGo...

In case you forgot what the Epstein files controversy is about and why we cannot let it go of it until justice is served, here’s a new ad with Epstein survivors from an org called World Without Exploitation: “it’s time to bring the secrets out of the shadows.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEz_...

….not only that, “Lots of people will actually die because we don’t have universal coverage,” said University of Penn prof and ex-White House Health Adviser Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. And overall, the fewer the people that have health care, the more expensive it gets.

When the Affordable Care Act soon goes up 100%+ as Trump cruelly cancels its gov’t subsidies, 30M+ Americans will have to decide whether to keep their health care or use that money for bills, food etc. Either way it’ll be a LOT of money taken out of the economy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBdz...

Trump doesn't give a damn about you and your family. (Washington Post)
