George W Bush’s administration found lawyers to justify torturing prisoners
Now Trump found lawyers to justify murdering fisherman they say are smuggling drugs
This is why Mark Kelly and his colleagues made the video telling troops to follow only legal orders
And why Trump threatened to kill them

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.
Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.
THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

I keep seeing medical journal articles that conclude: "Our study proves LLMs are great as long as medical professionals carefully review the outputs."
"This calculator is great as long as you carefully do the sum on paper as well to check it got the answer right."
Such a time saver!
