You have a commander-in-chief telling the American military that an American city is under "invasion and third world lawlessness...we're not going to let that happen." Truly extraordinary weaponization of the military against the President's domestic opponents.

This WSJ story about the decline in search traffic because of AI summaries is so grim. Every single outlet spent 15+ years contorting their coverage to cover the same things as everyone else trying to grab SEO, only for Google to rugpull them, just like social networks did. tinyurl.com/bdpzc399

I would be really wary of positioning Jay Bhattacharya as a onetime outsider. He was one of three academics who, at the White House's prompting, created the policy of "herd immunity," which was then adopted as official policy. He was and is on the scientific fringes but the political mainstream.

The police, in Egypt, in the U.S., everywhere, protect power and property. The State empowers them with a monopoly on violence to be directed internally for its benefit in the way that it empowers the military with a monopoly on violence to be directed externally for its benefit.

So this is … odd. Out of nowhere, the top US intelligence community official posts a three-and-a-half minute slickly-produced video across social media platforms on the dangers of nuclear war. What is the context? And why is this coming from the DNI and not the secretary of state, or the president?

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship. Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment. Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.

The charges against Prof. Willoughby-Herard were finally dropped yesterday. She courageously defended UCI students against police stifling dissent against Israel's genocide in Gaza. I am inspired by her courage and honored to have represented her in this case. Solidarity with those who fight.
