She wrote a global history of concentration camps. Now she has a warning for her own country.
In a better world, Andrea Pitzer would be delivering this warning on 60 Minutes.
But you need to listen to how we can stop these systematic atrocities being committed in our name on Next Comes What.

After two weeks of negotiations, it’s clear the Trump administration and Republicans are not serious about reining in this goon-squad violence against American citizens.

It is so inspiring here in Michigan, and I'm praying Democrats can see two steps ahead and generally get on the right side of this now, for a change.
For my money, the way thousands of regular people are self-organizing to resist data centers is one of the most cautiously hopeful stories going right now.

At midnight as Saturday begins, annual funding provided in the DHS bill will lapse, leading to a “DHS-only” shutdown. What that means in reality is complicated. Short 🧵
tl;dr is ICE/CBP continue w/ pay, FEMA largely continues bcuz it has tons of money still usable, TSA continues w/ pay for a bit

Protest volume is escalating. Jan 2026 recorded the highest monthly total of protests during Trump’s second term so far (nearly 5900)—and the 3rd highest total of protests per month since 2017, behind only June 2020 (BLM) & March 2018 (Enough Walkouts + March for Our Lives).

Someone ask the "Based" senior Senator from Utah why ICE shouldn't surround gun shops.
If ICE still stands for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" then why do Republicans want them anywhere near a polling location?
Because lawless ICE goons are harassing, arresting, and murdering people who are citizens, you idiot.

This is extremely similar to Grok with non-consensual images despite knowing the Take It Down act would come into effect within a few months - the point isn’t creating a feature that will exist for the long hall, just one that exists long enough to justify the product in the short term.

At times I think the left is too dismissive of the dangers of AI because they see a lot of the people involved as grifters. Which is ironic, because the best policies to prepare for AI are: More unions, Medicare for all, wealth taxes, and corporate regulation.

One thing that bothers me is that the Epstein Files are kind of a trick. Now we are going to be forever searching, forever looking for the smoking gun.
As if the purported “President” declaring war on a state (Minnesota) based on a fabricated pretext, for no reason, isn’t enough to justify removal.

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.
