Counter proposal: public hangings of tech billionaires.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

The New York Times **HAD EMAILS IN ITS POSSESSION** tying Donald Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein's global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy –– in the middle of a 2016 election where a global elite pedophile cabal conspiracy was a HUGE topic –– and they didn't publish one word it for a decade.
Congrats again, everyone

ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”
There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

The DOJ accuses Martinez of assulting/impeding a federal agent on Oct. 4, even after an agent shot her.

An exhibit filed yesterday shows text messages discussing media coverage of the case.

"I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys."

We've found DHS is giving local cops a new facial recognition app to find immigrants. Point camera at face, tells the cop to detain person or not. The app is available on Google's Play Store. Google took down apps that report ICE sightings but now hosts this app

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

NEW: Trump has announced that the US will admit the lowest level of refugees ever at 7,500 in FY 2026. The US will only be admitting as refugees White people from South Africa and "victims of illegal or unjust discrimination," which leaked memos suggest means far-right Europeans.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Reporter in Jackson Hole reports the only violence of the protest so far—a local guy punched a counter-protestor who reached out of their car to hit his sign. (I would bet a lot of money these two knew each other. It’s a small place.) “The police were called but they don’t seem to have showed up.”

Hi hello did you know that Elon Musk's third Neuralink patient (previously nonverbal) is "getting help from Grok" to communicate

and I hope -- I REALLY HOPE -- he's not stuck in his own brain listening as a robot talks for him without his input because this, to me, would be worse than death

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Good thing they blew up the filibuster last night.

The big bill the House passed today *does* include the 10-year ban on state AI regulation, I've confirmed. And it can pass the Senate without Democrats' help.

But there is one group that could still stop it: Senate Republicans. My newsletter today: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
