My latest for @arstechnica.com, in which early hominins are resourceful and deep time is mind-blowing. 🧪

Investments in autonomous weapons systems (AWS) are increasing worldwide. The legal regime of AWS potentially deployed in outer space remains unexplored. New paper: Winner takes all? Legal implications of autonomous weapons systems and the militarization of outer space. 🧪 🔭

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Proposed federal funding cuts could have a drastic impact in rural areas, with NRHA Chief Policy Officer Carrie Cochran-McClain saying that already strapped rural clinics will feel these proposed cuts deeply. Read more: www.marketplace.org/2025/03/10/f... #ruralhealth

And from top to bottom a bunch of spoiled brats who go through temper tantrums when they can’t get what they want right away. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The extreme level of cruelty of the MAGA government is astounding, astonishing, outrageous and beyond our imagination. Why appeal at all? WOW! Trump administration prepares to fully fund SNAP while it appeals www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

“Toxic” billionaires are out of touch with the reality of people who are struggling to make ends meet. The Court is right to reject the MAGA government’s proposal for an “emergency” pause. US court refuses to halt order that Trump administration fully fund food aid www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

Are we staging a “fashion show” in rogueness, illegality and criminality at sea under the cover and smokescreen of “war against drug trafficking?” www.businessinsider.com/us-navy-ship...

No! This pause is unnecessary, cruel, criminal and stupid. Stop letting people suffer! Trump administration asks for emergency pause on judge's order to fully fund SNAP www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

One fatal mistake for electoral candidates not to make is to take voters for granted. It’s not enough to have an economic message but also to build powerful coalitions across the country on a permanent basis. In addition, meet people where they are, listening to them and deliver results.

“Regime change” in Venezuela has nothing to do with “drug trafficking” or “democracy,” but putting a puppet government that will allow wholesale theft of Venezuela’s oil resources. apple.news/AXx69_D2WQZ6...

The cruelty of these billionaire government spoiled brats who never had to go hungry one day in their lives has no bounds. apple.news/AwAiCL6f5R7q...

You work harder. The ultra-rich get richer. America is not supposed to be like this.

He's also the first VP to openly acknowledge that he will lie for attention.

How to answer a loaded question. (This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Alexander Sammon embedded with a group running counterintelligence on one of ICE’s most important operations in the country, in LA’s South Bay, compiling plate numbers, tracking scout cars, and tipping off workers before ICE can grab them.

Criticism is an educational tool to help us correct our mistakes, change our ways, conduct and ideas in the interests of the collective community and become better human beings for humanity. As human beings, we should welcome criticism unequivocally.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “We Americans may have lost not just a trade war but a chunk of our global credibility and influence for years to come, in ways that would be seen globally as a harbinger of American decline,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

In Somalia a few weeks ago, I found myself in a hospital ward packed with children (and some adults) gasping for breath, infected with diphtheria. It was like time travel to the Victorian era. But diphtheria is no longer a relic of your granny's stories – it's back. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/h...

"There are large diphtheria outbreaks now in Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Chad — countries with civil wars or large populations of refugees where vaccination coverage is low, surveillance is weak and frail health systems leave children undiagnosed or treated too late."

Right-wing autocrats exploit and manipulate public support for crackdowns on violent gangs and criminals to also silence dissent, critics and political opponents. However, they don’t address the underlying problems that violence feeds on for the long-term, namely, socioeconomic injustice.

What sense does it make to holler we’re the wealthiest nation in the world and more than half the population are struggling to make ends meet. Those who want to pocket all the wealth while millions of American families are starving and suffering are fake and counterfeit “patriots.”
