A BART police officer made a bigoted AI deepfake about a Sikh colleague. What happens next? The sharing of the video raises questions about the culture of the BART force, which has three Sikh officers, while testing the agency’s approach toward a powerful new technology.

This utterly torpedoed any respect I had for the guy

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day we’re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

States are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich

From New York to California to Washington, states are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich.

Why? Because extreme wealth concentration is making life unaffordable for everyone else.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

Obama has the crowd at Jesse Jackson's eulogy hanging on his every word

You load 16 server racks, what do you get?

St Peter, don't @ me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Opinion | Trump’s Fantasy Is Crashing Down

“It is unsettling how often [47] affects astonishing indifference, as though the most powerful man in the world were merely a spectator to events he himself has set in motion — and who in any case has little investment in the outcome.” @polgreen.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/o...

I said from the beginning:

If you come for my people, you're gonna come through me.

Again and again, I repeat. For all the war hawks or idealogues talking about a transformative moment, let me make this clear: the Gulf states will soon teach the US that they love their commerce more than they hate Iran.

From @theguardian.com: “William Bejerano…was the most prolific user of the N-word. Using the slur, Bejerano called for dozens of acts of extreme violence against Black people, including crucifying, beheading and dissecting.”

Updating: Dem Party strategists must be prepared to address this #AntiBlack dynamic if they hope to appeal to #Latino voters who are ostensibly moving away from the GOP. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

What Jay Bhattacharya Wants From the CDC The agency has been remade in the Trump administration, but its acting head says it still needs “renewal.”

As acting director of the CDC, Jay Bhattacharya’s time at the agency may be brief—but he seems eager to force the agency to acknowledge his version of reality while he’s in charge, Katherine J. Wu reports:

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
