AI Bros Wanted Trump. Now They Learn What Happens When You Tell Him No.
Last year, in Fascism For First Time Founders, I warned the tech industry what happens when you cozy up to authoritarians. As I wrote then: Innovation requires trust. Not just between individuals, but institutional trust.…

Watching Trump joke around in his usual narcissistic way, it's clear he has absolutely no appreciation for the graveness of what he's just unleashed on the world.
And joking about giving himself the Medal of Honor when he's put thousands of US service members in harm's way is especially abhorrent.
I'm long separated from my limited experience here, but shooting down 3 friendly F-15s sounds like more than a deconfliction/comms problem, it sounds like an autonomous air-defense systems problem. Good thing we're not, say, recklessly rushing to replace more humans with AI in lethal decision loops
The number of US service members seriously wounded in the Iran War now stands at 18, up from the five reported yesterday.

this is a war of aggression. it is illegal under international law, and he has no right to launch it. you might fairly argue that it none of that has constrained him, but laws matter when powerful actors insist they do, and there are powerful actors who could start insisting they do.
Trump’s handpicked Joint Chiefs chairman warned that an attack on Iran could turn into a prolonged conflict. Yet the “peace president” launched strikes anyway alongside the Netanyahu government.

Alleged Trump mistress Laura Loomer, called out by Mexico for spreading disinformation during a crisis. Mexico Embassy of Mexico in the U.S. @EmbamexEUA. 1h This post is false. The military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, aimed at capturing Rubén "N," alias "Mencho," was planned and executed by Mexican Special Forces. The action was carried out within the framework of bilateral cooperation, with U.S. authorities providing complementary intelligence. Mexican National Guard and Army troops are currently reinforcing security in Jalisco and neighboring states to maintain order. Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer X.com BREAKING: After the US eliminated a top Cartell leaeder in News Mexico today. Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) has retaliated by storming the Guadalajara Airport with armed gunmen. They are now taking American tourists hostage at nearby highways and hotels.
Trump propaganda networks quickly moved to spread disinformation during the Mexico operation against the CJNG, creating panic amongst the population and tourists.
The Mexican embassy to the US had to intervene and call out Trump's alleged mistress for spreading disinfo.

the breaking of american public health federalism is a whole mess we have just barely started to wrap our heads around. that federalism is glue that our union cannot survive without repairing, and sooner is better than later (see: 2020). needs to be a top priority once democrats are in power.
