The truth revealed below.

Yes, AI will have societal benefits. But left unchecked, the downside will drown the upside.

CEOs are going to lay off millions of workers and then use the savings to supersize the concentration of wealth and economic power.

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way.

Record it and get in the way.

There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

😡 If England wants to trade with us, Trump is demanding they repeal their hate speech laws.

What the fuck gives Trump the right to expect England to change its laws to accommodate him?

Fuck Trump and fuck you if you didn't vote for Harris.
Starmer told to accept Trump ‘free speech’ agenda to win trade deal
‘Good chance’ of agreement, says JD Vance – but sources say his concerns over Britain’s hate speech laws ‘are still a red line’

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Leaked audio of JD Vance in a jealous rant…

Let’s just say JD Vance is no fan of Elon Musk and thinks he makes him look bad. But the truth is—Trump and Vance don’t need Elon to make them look bad.

PSA:

"Joy is resistance" is for the marginalized and oppressed.

In the context of fascism, privileged joy is indifference, collaboration, and enabling.

Queer joy is resistance
Black joy is resistance
Disabled joy is resistance
Immigrant joy is resistance

Privileged joy is an excuse to not act.
