The US Embassy in Baghdad warned on Friday that pro-Iran militias may target hotels “frequented by foreigners” in the Kurdistan Region, calling on US citizens to leave as soon as possible.
I was just reviewing some material in this explainer we published last year on prison labor — and it's a really useful & important read for anyone who is interested in the matter.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

The grift continues.

I share @austinkocher.com 's enthusiasm for @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social ; Hope in the Dark was a revelation to me. I didn't know abt this new book (published Tuesday) until reading this review... upon which I ordered it immediately (along w/ a digital copy of HiTD)

Critique of MRFF story w/many valid points. No knockout blows, just reasonable skepticism. I'm betting that all the similar notes are the result of editing to make them more fundraising-friendly. MRFF has been around a while & that tracks-they shld cop to it
In case you were on tenterhooks about Tate's "mission" to Dubai
So according to Trump, Noem lied to Congress. Isn’t there a law against that? 🤷🏼

In case you needed confirmation that all the juvenile macho posturing wasn't just cosplay & that these jackasses actually mean it
We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.
Good luck! Feel free to DM with any questions/updates.

"this dystopian world, AI will also serve as the most perfect scapegoat. AI programs will not be brought to trial. There will be no AI Nuremberg"
Autonomy v Augmentation:
I hadn't expected such a tragic signature case of this failure so soon or in this domain

It's disorienting how Massie, who has been an asshole for as long as I can remember, has been the one to consistently show courage, conviction & integrity in the face of the regime's many crimes & misdeeds. More Ds should take notice & look for other Rs who need to separate themselves from their lot
🇫🇮☢️ Finland’s government plans to remove a legal ban on nuclear weapons on its territory, allowing them to be deployed during wartime.
The amendment, justified as strengthening NATO deterrence against Russia, still needs parliamentary approval.
Not sure it's an option, but Virtual Vocations has separate contract listings for writers & editors for a range of small-medium-large corporations. The site looks old & primitive but leads are solid & based on old fashioned skills match, not AI or ATS. Mostly remote work.
There's a reason that for years, I've to Trump as "Delusional Donald." The headline below is so crazy and fact-free that everyone should understand:
Never underestimate sustainable farming! 🌱🌍 It slashes human-caused GHG emissions while rebuilding healthy soils and strengthening communities. Less chemicals, more biodiversity = real climate action. Who's ready to farm smarter? #SustainableFarming #ClimateChange
