A faked attack is on its way. All of it will lead to escalating abuse of all Americans & visitors. Extreme state violence is coming. A solidarity movement will emerge. The union will be tested.

Modern states must create enforceable guardrails for AI. These have to be rooted in ethics & practices of human dignity, justice, transparency, & ecological health. The current state of things is running in the opposite direction, with greed, power, opacity, & speed dominating the conversation.

If we don’t have meaningful transparency from AI companies—which we don’t—society will not be able fathom how these systems will impact the real world. thebulletin.org/2025/01/why-...

The right-wing mediasphere has locked in generations of people who can’t tell truth from lies. By raw repetition, they have swindled millions of Americans into believing easily disprovable things. Those millions will have as hard a time accepting reality as Stalin’s did. Or as Carl Sagan said,...

I think it’s time to test run next week’s protests, tomorrow. Show up on the Eighth For LA

Vance & Trump want to create the awful conditions that will enable them to take over the United States in perpetuity. They are literally trying to STEAL the country from its citizens.

Trump doesn’t understand anything about energy. He will completely f*** up the market.

Me for two weeks before the November election to Todd the Trumper: “So you’re okay with Trump deploying the military against your neighbors?” Todd: Avoids answering. Finally says, “Whatever.”

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

And the billionaires are trying to replace all of you with AI. Everyone is expendable.

What’s the carbon footprint of Trump’s glamor parade?

Truth: #solar energy is superior to fossil fuels. It’s gotten cheaper to manufacture, easier to build, works with batteries to provide base load, & can be scaled to power a home, sewer authorities, factories, & cities. Only corrupt politicians & the fossil fuel industry are fighting this.

There is no limit that Trump will observe.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

The GOP (and the auto industry) have done this country (& themselves) such a disservice arguing against solar and batteries and climate change. Root of that bad doctrine stems,of course, from the fossil fuel companies

1/4 Ted Cruz’s father, Rev. Rafael Cruz, said teaching evolution in public schools is inherently un-American because it contradicts his belief the United States is a Christian country. Happily more than 15700 Christian clergy disagree with him. Join them in the effort to protect science education.

The United States Department of Defense is functionally an armof the Ku Klux Klan & the American Nazi Party.

Heaven forbid we be consistent & talk about them the way their toxic “phallocentric” heroes talk about us. But it’s not even that bad. We simply name their actions & make accurate historical comparisons & we are big meanies. ❄️❄️❄️

Happy State College Pride from my amazing wife @hilcaldwell.bsky.social & me (+ Our dog Jean the Bean), State Rep @paultakac-pa.bsky.social, & sickening drag queens! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

There is a great replacement conspiracy in America. Workers are being replaced by non-humans designed by a megalomaniacal would-be monopoly of tech bros who want AI to run everything. It is already undermining creativity, liberty, health, & employment. thebulletin.org/2025/04/the-...

Leaders have become enamored with AI. But AI has no capacity to respect human health, liberty, or well-being, much less the web of life. It cannot be “ethical," “responsible,” or "a viable solution for any kind of just and accountable outcome." thebulletin.org/2025/05/gove...

The rule of law plays no role in authoritarian regimes. It is the rule of one man. Mass resistance everywhere is the only way forward. He must be swarmed.

We should invest in rural PA. But in true billionaire fashion, Trump & Musk targeted the Army Corps & shut down popular campgrounds here in central PA, reducing Memorial Day business by 50%. We should be supporting business, not killing it. www.pennlive.com/news/2025/06...

You know what’s always good? Spending a morning with a great colleague & climate hero Dr. Richard Alley. He’s the recipient of the National Medal of Science, co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the IPCC, & member of the US National Academy of Sciences & the Royal Society.

Hi Bluesky, we're GZERO Media. We're your source for unbiased, smart insights on global news, what it means, and why it matters.

As I was saying…

Californians can stop paying federal taxes. That would be cool.

Octopuses are smart, sentient creatures that have no business cooped up on commercial farms. I’m glad to reintroduce the OCTOPUS Act with Senator Lisa Murkowski, a bipartisan bill to ban this practice and keep octopus wild in our oceans 🐙

Bannon is a Leninist villain. Musk is a monster who thinks he’s a hero from an Ayn Rand novel. Trump is a cheap plastic orange version of Mussolini. Miller is a larval Himmler. What could have ever gone wrong?

Government doesn’t have to and shouldn’t work like this. We have choices about our leaders. Let’s get these losers out of here.

No Truth(s). First true statement there.

This is domestic state-sanctioned terrorism.

On June 6, 1944–D-Day—160,000 Allied troops stormed the beach at Normandy, France to launch Operation Overlord. The assault led to the liberation of Nazi-occupied Western Europe. Today, we should be supporting Ukraine to liberate it from Putin’s totalitarian regime. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

But what’s in her email?!?!

We could combat climate change, advance healthcare for all people, protect ourselves from emerging self-aware AI, feed & provide excellent education to every kid, & stop put-of-control debt. Or… We can watch Elon Mechagodzilla fight Donald Godzilla f*** America again & again & again.

So a guy who plays Nazi dress up and asks “What would Hitler do?” came to a school board meeting & had a fascist gender-fury meltdown. Not posting his socials…yet. Still learning. But State College Area, we have a white supremacy problem. www.centredaily.com/opinion/lett...
