Studies are beginning to reveal fissures in the argument that AI boosts productivity, writes Tech Policy Press fellow Eryk Salvaggio. Nonetheless, companies and governments are pouring investments into speculative growth without ample evidence.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.

The US Justice Department appears to have removed from its website a study into political violence in America by the National Institute of Justice, the Justice Department’s research agency, which concluded that far-right extremism outpaced “all other types of domestic violent extremism”.

When women aren't heard, their opinions ignored, their testimony dismissed, we end up with criminals and psychos like Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, RFK Jr, and Krasnov taking a wrecking ball to American institutions, sabotaging public agencies and dismantling our fragile democracy.

The week after Harvard filed a lawsuit against Trump they: gutted their DEI office, stopped affinity graduations, centralized their disciplinary process over protests, and handed over student records of international students to DHS.
These were all demands by Trump. They're complying with all of it

So, they’re coming for judges now. Please keep talking to your friends, neighbors & colleagues about the actions being taken by/for the current administration. Talk about what democracy is & is not. Talk about the country we want and who we believe ourselves to be as a people. Courage is contagious.

The story of Trump is not the story of a dictator savant, it's the story of a society whose elite power centers are all rotted from within and collapse at the slightest push. Very hard to know right now if there are any load-bearing walls left.
conversely, the second you give in to him on anything, he senses weakness and keeps demanding more and more
the only viable response to Trump is to loudly and fully stand up to him from the start - whatever consequences he is able to impose will pale in comparison to giving in

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
