Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.
And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.
When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

He speaks like a poet.
“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

ABC and Disney bent the knee again. First $16M to Trump over Stephanopoulos, now firing Kimmel at his command. Timothy Snyder, in On Tyranny, warned: “do not obey in advance.” Trump signaled in July he wanted Kimmel fired. This is authoritarian rule. Boycott ABC and Disney for eternity.

Trump’s strategic weaponization of Charlie Kirk’s murder is just an apparatus to crack down on thought and speech in unthinkable ways.
This moment is as close to Orwellian as we’ve come, and the fictitious “Thought Police” is becoming our new reality.
