Trump is illegally attacking boats allegedly carrying drugs. He brags about being tough on drug dealers.
Meanwhile, he pardons the former Honduran president — a man convicted in American court of bringing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S.
You can’t make this stuff up.

The threats from unchecked AI are real — worker displacement, corporate surveillance, invasion of privacy, environmental destruction, unmanned warfare.
Today, a tiny number of billionaires are shaping the future of AI behind closed doors. That is unacceptable. That must change.

Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight.
By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not.
This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

The playbook of demagogues like Trump is to protect the Oligarchs by dividing us up based on race, religion, place of birth or sexual orientation.
They want us to hate each other while they laugh all the way to the bank.
Don’t fall for it.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.
