Antony Beevor: Trump shows signs of dementia. He can’t be controlled The bestselling historian, 79, has written about some of humanity’s darkest moments β€” and believes the West is totally unprepared for the threats it faces

1/3 There is and End of Days feel about Western Hegemony right now. A half millennia in which the West hoarded much of the world’s wealth, plundering, colonising and burning through fossil fuels, is ending in a paroxysmal, Trumpian blunder.

2/3 A few billionaires, irrevocably invested in the climate crisis, hoard more wealth than many countries and use it to buy up media so they can persuade the people to direct their ire at the world’s poorest and most vulnerable- those who have left the one home they have for fear or poverty.

Former ICE instructor will testify as whistleblower that agents taught to violate Fourth Amendment The instructor, who is an attorney, plans to tell a forum sponsored by Congressional Democrats that the procedures in entering homes are not taught appropriately.

A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is β€œbroken."

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said.

Oh my god.

I wonder if they didn't turn her in because chatgpt was helping her plan a shooting and they didn't want the scrutiny.

OpenAI knew and did nothing. This company is fundamentally evil. Their products have already been responsible for the deaths of multiple teens from suicide.

Exclusive | OpenAI Employees Raised Alarms About Canada Shooting Suspect Months Ago The ChatGPT maker opted against informing Canadian authorities about Jesse Van Rootselaar’s descriptions of violence last June.

Chatgpt has already pushed people to kill themselves and others. Did it push this teenager to do a mass shooting?
