Highly recommend everyone see "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist." My takeaway is we need AI regulation and Universal Basic Income immediately. We need to see a return on investment for all the subsidies we've paid these tech companies.

Reporting like this makes clear that Trump’s thinking about his war is completely incoherent and governed by whatever impulse he’s feeling at a given moment

Something has definitely shifted from the days of getting people fired for not being appropriately mournful.

Dismantling the Pentagon’s fledgling civilian harm-reduction effort, defense analysts say, is one of several ways the Trump administration has reorganized national security around two principles: more aggression, less accountability.

AOC was very famously a bartender, markwayne mullin inherited and sold a family plumbing business for millions, which of these two does the median american think to be more blue collar-coded?

like they stole a debit card national identity theft

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Just a snapshot of the type of bullshit that is happening

“Despite what the radical left says, this has been the most successful operation ever carried out on my face,” said outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

Just another public service announcement: don’t forget to periodically check to make sure you are still registered to vote in your state. Particularly married women.. they are trying their best to suppress our vote and/or make sure our voices are squashed.🗳️

I mean there it is.

while it’s the same category, this is orders of magnitude worse than what noem was fired for

Netanyahu on Newsmax scaring Republicans into supporting a war on Iran he has been pushing for nearly 50 years— even saying they’re “still trying to kill Trump” Playing us all for fools

I’m really glad to see Senators Warren and Shaheen sent this letter to Sec. Hegseth about the WEXMAC TITUS program which is helping fast-track the construction of immigrant concentration camps (and also floored and humbled that they link to my story about the program in the first sentence)

They're just an older, more credentialed version of the DOGE boys -- performing little tricks for their partisan masters because it's all just a fun little intellectual game to them, something that gets them attention, while the real-world pain will be felt by people they couldn't give a shit about.

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

The Mississippi Department of Archives and History says that work to process the suitcase's contents—which includes meeting minutes and propaganda pamphlets—could take months, involving housing, describing, scanning and indexing the material for use by patrons.

A 1963 Ku Klux Klan charter found in the materials said it charged its recipient "with the Sacred Responsibility for preserving Christian Civilization, and with the task of effectively and intelligently destroying any and all agents or agencies of Satan."

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

“A few weeks before the Second World War, nobody thought we would go into a war that would kill between 60 and 85 million people in less than five years. That’s why authoritarians want you to forget history.”

six more followers and i will have the follower count of the beast 🤞🏼

This is the kind of shit someone who's never touched a gas pump or cleaned a toilet comes up with. Lifelong coddling by ultra-privilige is a recipe for uselessness, not leadership.

Guns forever protected for personal ownership by hundred year old writings, even though the hundred year old writings say nothing about personal use. Citizenship NOT protected even though it is explicitly in the hundred year old writings

The new White House App the Trump admin just rolled out got a Community Note.

American Baked Potato Association Study Finds It Best To Load ’Er Up

Think about that..

8 million No Kings protesters Zero police officers beaten Zero police officers killed Zero feces smeared on walls.

I was told last year that my forceful pushback on this might severely damage my career in the academy and my potential for lateral opportunities, and that I should think twice.

I hope that this ugly episode provokes some soul-searching among legal academics generally. As long as the coin of the realm is convincing 2Ls of our brilliance, there will be a market for contrarian hot takes on high profile topics as well as professors who produce such work.

I know I’m a broken record on this but: A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.

they are all named here: publications.lawschool.cornell.edu/lawreview/20...

I have lost friends. I have made enemies. I do not care. I will never accept this as a legitimate form of scholarly conduct. I will spend the rest of my life working to make this unacceptable.

I am not saying that all law profs should be doing what I am doing. I am saying that this is shameful and those who know it is shameful should be doing everything they can to prevent them from winning. And they should make sure this is never forgotten.

If they succeed they will have functionally amended the Constitution and created a underclass subject to state domination. They have no good reason for doing this. The law is not on their side. We will see whether mere power is.

Attacks on Stephen Miller getting far more specific in this Daily Mail (why are the best right-on-right hitjobs always laundered thru the UK?). 1) He ordered confrontation w/protestors b4 CBP murdered Alex Pretti. 2) He countermanded Trump order not to focus on farmworkers.

We all know this is fascism.

The FT's morning round up of Iran War news

AP: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Sunday that Israel will widen its invasion of southern Lebanon. Netanyahu said Israel would expand what he called the “existing security strip” in Lebanon as Israeli forces continue to target the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group.

Organizers say up to 8 million joined events nationwide, from San Diego to New York City. buff.ly/Phhcb2f

Thirteen people have died in federal immigration custody in the first three months of this year, and 46 have died since President Trump took office last year and began his mass deportation campaign, according to death reports and news releases made public by ICE. trib.al/XITKbfd

no floor

Fuck — and I cannot stress this enough — off.

We just saw a record 8 million in the streets for the NO Kings rallies. So where are the pro Trump rallies?! No where. And there is a reason for that. Yet corporate media still covers All Trump, All the time w/o commenting on how hated he is. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/no-kings-s...

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

Sanders: The American people were lied to about the war in Vietnam. We were lied to about the war in Iraq… and we are being lied to today about the war in Iran. He campaigned as a peace candidate. He promised no more forever wars. He lied.

Meta has been found liable in court for negligence twice this week, indicating that people have come to hate social media, even if they’re heavy users of it.

What a beautiful way for a community to physically instantiate a story about itself that will long serve as an inspirational reminder to future generations of “who we are.”

Clark: Republicans won't fund TSA, FEMA, or the Coast Guard unless we green light more terror in our communities. That is what they care about. That is more important to them than anything else. Funding ICE and the paramilitary force that they have turned into.

“The weight of that calculation is the same weight for every single survivor in the farm worker industry. They’re not thinking about the movement, but they’re thinking about: ‘Will my family be able to work next year?’ ‘Will I be abandoned in the field?’ ‘Will I be killed?’”

Here’s some more data on this (been reporting on the Trump lower-income slippage since last summer): www.gelliottmorris.com/p/workers-tr...

Arctic sea ice shrank to tie its lowest measured level for the winter, the season when ice grows, as a warming Earth shattered records across the continents.
