Even when we "know" the surveillance is pervasive, the details are chilling. Worth reading to be reminded that no one is safe.

Classic Weingarten: From one side of her mouth, she attacks the idea of robots replacing teachers, and from the other side, she endorses federal legislation (along with Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, and HP) to mandate AI literacy and training in every U.S. school. www.schiff.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

"Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., pressed... Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to reassure parents that the vitamin K shot is safe. He refused and pushed back." The vitamin K shot is standard, and these babies' horrific deaths could have been prevented. The doubt sowed by this administration is deadly. #Pinks

This bogus meta-analysis of AI studies from 2025 has been used to pump the benefits of AI in schools. Since publication, it has been cited over 500 times by other authors. On April 22, it was retracted by the journal that published it. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Katie Porter has turned out to be a bit of a mess, but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have done this

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

Professor Derek Peterson gave a commencement speech now being censored because it named Palestinian humanity. He celebrated Jewish, Black, and women students. The apology from the University of Michigan President came only for Palestinians. That’s not a coincidence. That’s policy.

NEW: A Republican U.S. Senate candidate said he's recruiting off-duty police officers to serve as poll watchers in Detroit for the 2026 midterms — and suggested they could flash their badges at voters. Intimidating voters is illegal. Interfering with someone's right to vote is a federal crime.

The levels of aggression on the court are ruining the game. Unpadded bodies treated as battering rams bouncing off walls of other bodies and crashing to the HARDwood? Basketball? Too bad such talent is being wasted to satisfy the NBA’s demands for more violence. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/m...

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

URGENT: Bernie & AOC announce AI Data Center Moratorium Act to stop massive toxic facilities! Urge your Reps & Senators to support it NOW:

LA farmer Kaden Cable castigates Trump for abandoning farmers: "Trump cut billions of dollars from federal programs that funded small farmers. Trump doesn't care about people like me or like you. He treats us like we're bugs on the sidewalk and laughs at us."

We've spent an estimated $25B on Trump's war on Iran. Now Trump and Co. want even more money to fund the war. But healthcare? Cut. Food stamps? Cut. Education? Cut. Cancer research? Cut. Environmental protections? Cut. And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut. Obscene.

Ex-OpenAI board member Helen Toner says AI companies are "deadly serious" about building machines that outperform humans at everything and they don’t know if they’ll be able to control them.   So why hasn’t Congress taken meaningful action to regulate AI?
