love to be looted by our criminal president

AI leveraged by lobby shop to ratfuck a SoCal initiative to fight global warming, is what this says. Thousands of emails sent to agency, can't tell if humans really sent them or not. AI spam vs. the planet. www.latimes.com/environment/...

thinking, for no reason at all..., of this paragraph from The Dream Hotel

Claims about AI having climate benefits often lack scientific evidence, a new report finds. And when touting the climate benefits of AI, tech companies conflate “traditional AI” with generative AI, a form of “bait-and-switch” that amounts to greenwashing www.fastcompany.com/91493873/big...

"Trump’s EPA can’t simply erase climate change — and we’ll all pay the price" | My op-ed with Bob Ward in @sfchronicle.com: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

The cruelty of this regime in a nutshell.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Epstein also repeated this lie -- “i liked the argument that more co2 is good for plants" he said in an email referencing a climate denier's youtube video This is a classic move in the climate denialism playbook! www.fastcompany.com/91490280/eps...

big thanks to @michaelemann.bsky.social who gave me some crucial context/commentary on the way 'climate change' is talked about in Epstein's emails www.fastcompany.com/91490280/eps...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

If billionaires want to buy newspapers there should be limits on how much they can ruin them. It should be like charity; they don't need to be run like any other business. The state of media cannot simply rely on their shifting benevolence

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

wow end of an era — and terrible news for the workers. Also, people on Cape Cod really do love these chips; I once went to a Cape Cod wedding on which every table were piles of mini Cape Cod potato chip bags www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

On Saturday, January 31, if you enter a query into Quili.AI, your question won’t be answered by a large language model, but instead by residents from the Chilean community of Quilicura The 'day without AI' aims to highlight the environmental impact of AI use www.fastcompany.com/91483599/how...

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

has anyone ever once reached a real person when calling @schumer.senate.gov ? Because I never have, and I call often. I leave voicemails, but I would love to talk to an actual human being about how our country is becoming an authoritative regime and he isn't doing anything about it

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold since the start of the second Trump administration. We analyzed data obtained by the Deportation Data Project and found that ICE held around 170 children on an average day under Trump.

you can’t fucking dox a public official!

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

There is evil and then there is this

“and then our goons will kidnap that life and send it to a concentration camp if we deem them the wrong color”

"Ultimately, the encounter was brief: The woman, who the pastors said appeared to be pregnant, had citizenship papers with her." What a sentence.

And politicians think "better training" will actually reign this agency in? ICE needs to be abolished

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

Even a majority of millionaires say extreme wealth is a threat to democracy—and more than 400 millionaires and billionaires are calling on leaders at Davos to tax the rich in order to abate that threat www.fastcompany.com/91477850/mil...

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

I reached out to the most well-known Minnesota-based companies, multiple times, for comment on what's happening in the Twin Cities right now. None of them responded. Here's my attempt at unpacking why.

We thought we’d check in with the biggest Minnesota companies to see how they feel about what ICE is doing there. Not a lot of strong leadership on offer from these corporate giants. www.fastcompany.com/91476021/min...

Just lost Verizon cell service while in the middle of a work call — now my phone is stuck on SOS mode

There's a new analysis out on just how much ocean temperatures rose in 2025 alone—23 zettajoules, an amount of heat that is like "12 Hiroshima bombs being detonated each second, for every minute, hour, and day for the entire year," as one scientist put it to me www.fastcompany.com/91471430/12-...

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

Jamelle is one of the only people I can read/listen to who makes me feel sane amidst all this

What do these companies have in common? -Cigna -Comcast -General Mills -Allstate -Marriott -Hilton -Walmart -Amazon -Microsoft -Meta All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And all have broken that promise.

This is absurd in general but also ProPublica seems like the absolute last place where this makes any sense??

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

This week, Ford announced it's ending production of its all-electric F-150 Lightning. The next gen truck will be an extended-range EV, which runs on gas & battery. I wrote about EREVs—what they are and why US carmakers want in—earlier this year www.fastcompany.com/91291203/chi...

Human activity is driving climate change; that’s a fact. But the EPA has quietly removed that information from a web page explaining climate change’s causes. I spoke with @weatherwest.bsky.social about the change & why it's particularly concerning www.fastcompany.com/91458319/epa...

"But what if the bubble is an inevitable part of developing & adopting a revolutionary tool that will fundamentally improve productivity & growth?" www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/o... OK, but who benefits? Productivity has already been growing. So has the "economy." & they left the working class behind

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
