Bellingcat’s contact email has always been a magnet for people with fairly unusual views; paranoid delusions, sprawling conspiracies, the works. But recently, the pattern has shifted, we’re seeing more and more emails clearly written with ChatGPT.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

The United States wants the unilateral authority to decide who should be able to use certain technologies.

Why should the US decide who can have certain tech?
Restrictions on Iranian and Chinese technology are about preserving US geopolitical power

Canadians go to the polls on Monday, so it’s worth knowing how conservatives — including an oil executive and Amazon public policy person — are planning for how the implement a DOGE in Canada and silence their critics while they’re at it.

Elon Musk couldn’t hide the problems his DOGE escapades have caused for Tesla during its earnings call.

"Cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no fraud, just democracy at work. They’re apparently eager to see what happens when it no longer does." Brian Barrett:

Canada is investigating Chinese tech companies, but it should be much more concerned with how dependent we’ve become on US tech monopolies that run roughshod over our rules and laws.
