The Trump administration's assault on science feels eerily Soviet
The United States is drifting ever further away from science and climate reality. So why does life seem so normal?

Longtime CT law enforcement official never stopped pursuing vision of what policing could be

🚨Do you like bikes? Trump's Department of Transportation plans to cut funding for safer streets.

An internal memo called for a funding freeze and review of bike lanes & pedestrian safety projects, including specifically those that “improve the condition for environmental justice communities."

As someone who has been doored in both DC and New York as a regular bike commuter, people will die because of this.
The government aims to cut funding for safer streets. Here's who would be hurt most.
The Department of Transportation ponders cutting money for bike lanes and pedestrian safety as the Trump administration embraces fossil fuels.

Fascinating new paper out on a contentious strategy for relocating species threatened by climate change to maintain ecosystem functions. "We must conserve the game, not the players."

To read more about this ethical debate, I explored it in depth for @vqr.bsky.social and @gristnews.bsky.social.

🚨 AI is quietly reshaping the government. President Trump has said he wants to make the U.S. "the world capital of AI," but these systems are already wrongfully denying people health care, food, and housing at scale.🧵

Grateful to have my work (and, scarily, life) profiled in a way that puts the issue I care most about--a more just world for low-income people--front and center. Please read + spread the message that use of AI undermines people's ability to have decent, stable housing, work, education, +health care
"The incentives never align for anybody to do right by poor people.”

Amazing deep dive by @loisparshley.bsky.social of @levernews.com on our work + how powerful people use AI in ways that harm low-income folks: states cutting health care, landlords denying housing, cops targeting students, etc.
Rage Against The Algorithm
As Trump leans into AI, automated systems are already ruining lives. A new organization is out to stop it.
