Trump suspended an SEC fraud investigation into a crypto billionaire just weeks after that billionaire invested $75 million into Trump's company. That is corruption in plain sight.
Did a chatbot built by Palantir and Anthropic tell US forces to bomb a school full of little girls in Iran? The evidence sure seems to point that direction. From Gaza to the Caribbean to Tehran to your own intestines, letting chatbots guide life and death decisions looks worse every day.
Pleased to speak with @huffpost.com along with some sharp LOAC experts about the sinking of the Iranian warship.
As I noted, tho I don't have all the relevant info, there's a general cause for concern as this "secretary of defense has a long track record of denigrating the law of war.”
OPINION: "We are not letting fear convince us that we need additional information, further research, and whatever else we tell ourselves. We need to trust God's guidance," Shanina Carmichael writes.

“It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. The few that do are often caught and then face prison time and then deportation. A comprehensive 2025 audit in Michigan found just 16 suspected -not confirmed- potential noncitizens out of the 7.2 million active registered voters in 2024.”
Women with disabilities in Kyrgyzstan face alarming rates of harassment, abuse, and economic discrimination, despite legal reforms.
Ahead of International Women’s Day, a reminder that Kyrgyz authorities should make their promises a reality and address existing gaps. #IWD26
There's evidence Dorsey had an epiphany about open protocols a while ago, but, on paper, what he really seems to want is Mastodon (which already exists)?
It's also unclear if he's actually pursuing that, and if he's interested on principle or bc he thinks protocols can elide moderation (or both).
One of the things the Iran War is clarifying is that AI integration into the military will mean that your children will be sent to war in the Middle East to protect the data centers of the Gulf and Israel.
Also, here’s a podcast episode where I talk AI, Anthropic & Iran with @devindra.bsky.social:
BREAKING- Emergency court filing is made to stop Trump’s closure and “gutting” of
Kennedy Center

@repchrispappas.bsky.social is 100% correct. Ever since the Citizens United decision, wealthy special interests have been secretly buying our elections. It's time to pass the DISCLOSE Act and close the floodgates of dark money.
Trump likes to assert that he has accomplished things no other president has. With the strikes on Iran, he has achieved another distinction: He is the first president in the era of modern polling to take America to war without the support of the public. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/u...
Maybe next time, if there is one, we can stop electing game show hosts and recruiting talking heads from Fox.
“F*ckity zoom” is pure genius.
When @vicmsong.bsky.social and I talked about how covering fitness and wearable tech meant her beat now included wellness... well, I told her it was going to get bad and weird fast www.theverge.com/column/88992...
I think we should take things further and have a Truth and Reconciliation Commission on all the weird post-leftist (Grim) and fash-adjacent (Fang, Greenwald) horrors the Intercept unleashed on the world

JD Vance has had to spend down whatever anti-war capital he had as the administration has gotten progressively more entangled in foreign violence.
Things Ds can be fighting for now:
- Recommit to Europe/Ukraine, stop appeasing Putin, who is helping Iran attack US
- End the war, prevent US/global economies from going to sh*t
- Roll back the inflationary tariffs
- Rescind Trump tax cuts, ICE expansion
- Make US clean energy superpower

We love to see Democratic proposals to tax the rich. The top 1% of Americans own about as much wealth as the bottom 90% — and that gap only continues to grow under this regime. The American people are crying out for a fair tax system that eases the burden on working families.
If spontaneous human combustion is a real thing, I’d like it to be HER thing.
Doesn’t have to be big or showy, just permanent.

SCOOP: In a January letter to Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), DHS says 270 DACA recipients have been arrested from January to September 2025. In addition, 174 DACA applicants have been deported, according to ICE records.
Those numbers differ from what was shared with Sen. Dick Durbin in February.
