The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Realistic, sustainable CPTSD recovery asks us to give up our addiction to others' expectations & timelines-- which is hard, because it's an addiction that is enabled & celebrated by every facet of our competitive, comparative culture.
But it's an addiction that WILL kill us.

On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade went on national television and called for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. "Just kill 'em," he said.
There hasn't been one word about it in The New York Times or The Washington Post or USA Today.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.
Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.
