Georgia’s Court of Appeals has overturned a trial court’s ruling ordering the Fulton County Board of Commissioners to seat two conservative election activists on the county election board or face daily fines. #gapol Story by @mayahoman.bsky.social

BREAKING: Two more people have died in ICE detention, per latest notification to Congress.

As I pointed out when it was launched , it had no specific use case — just a greed fantasy of owning the Next BigPlatform. Their “AGI” prima donna hiring strategy follows a similar script. Getting nowhere in particular as fast as $$$ can carry you. But now with more explicit fascism support.

“The uprising within DLR Group isn’t the only example of workers pushing back on their employers’ business dealings with ICE—but it may be one of the more successful ones.”

This man did far more fighting for the US than anyone in the cabinet or the White House. And he died one day after being taken to an American concentration camp. One day. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

“Stripe and Ramp have convinced investors that the AI wave will boost their business, continuously blasting out press releases about AI agents and other AI-centric features. “

The cryptocurrency industry super PACs dumped $14.2 million into the Illinois primaries. 90% of that – $12.8 million – was wasted, in that it went to opposing Democratic candidates who won their primaries (Stratton in the Senate race, Ford in H-07) or supporting their opponents.

Worth repeating as a general observation about @emilymbender.bsky.social as a particularly valuable analyst of AI hype.

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I really don’t think enough is being made of the fact that it’s a three supposedly do-nothing toothless scholarly organizations—the AHA, the MLA, and the ACLS— who are directly responsible for one of the clearest and most damning exposures of this administration’s stupidity and malfeasance.

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

I’ve wondered about this, too, in the rise of OSINT.

Important to remember that most consumer-facing "A.i." is monstrously flawed and the billionaires who push it don't care, so if you sign a deal to sloppify yourself, there's a non-zero chance that your sloppergänger will eventually tell some kid to kill themself.

The fascist regime is reportedly telling GOP political leaders to STOP TALKNG ABOUT MASS DEPORTATIONS. Let's REMIND EVERYONE with this photo from the GOP convention that nominated Trump. SHARE! These fascist setup CONCENTRATION CAMPS and are deporting people based on their racist Nazi eugenics.

Good scientists are leaving NIH. Counter to the quote from HHS, NIH is struggling to recruit qualified scientists to replace them. My own role sits empty. NIH cannot replace me since I am still employed but prevented from working. This admin is gutting science. www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/h...

Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this "declaration" means nothing. Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead. So if you can sign along side him? At best, you got played. He's the "humanity in control". humanstatement.org

This is a companion to our recent episode with @sflusberg.bsky.social. Here, we take AI as an case study in how metaphors reflect and shape understanding. The discussion centers around @melaniemitchell.bsky.social's excellent essay in @science.org: www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

New episode!! 🎉🎙️ A conversation w/ @melaniemitchell.bsky.social about metaphors and AI. Are current AI systems like human minds? Or more like alien intelligences, role players, mirrors, libraries, or stochastic parrots? And does our choice of metaphor matter? Listen: disi.org/manyminds/

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people. We do not want another forever war.

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S. Join my live conversation with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social, 12:00pm ET, snyder.substack.com

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
