BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Seems like the logical conclusion of this "generative AI" exercise. "“My grades were amazing,” she said. “It changed my life.” Sarah continued to use AI when she started college this past fall. Why wouldn’t she? Rarely did she sit in class and not see other students’ laptops open to ChatGPT.

HALLELUYAH! Finally, someone has the courage to take on the grifter, antivaxxer, and lunatic RFK Jr. Thank you Senator Alsobrooks.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

Stop Forcing A.I. Into Every Fucking Thing!

The administration uses a “point system,” based in part on any photos with suspected gang members, to establish guilt by association for purposes of deportation to prison in El Salvador. Other points for suspicious tattoos that experts say aren’t indicative of these gangs.

Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are political prisoners being subjected to medical neglect, sleep deprivation, and inadequate meals. This is chilling, harrowing, and Donald Trump’s cruelty is the point. We visited them to shine a light on these violations of their rights.

I met with community members from the local chapter of J Street to discuss our shared support for a resumed ceasefire and bringing more humanitarian aid into Gaza, and working towards a lasting peace in the region.

He’s so good at this.

Terrifying. Three fed prosecutors who worked on the Eric Adams case resign. After being placed on administrative leave, they wrote…  “It is now clear that one of the preconditions you placed on our returning to office is that we must express regret and admit #BlueSky #MedSky #LawSky

I guess the HIPAA Privacy Act is no longer a thing. They are coming after your personal health information to create a "Disease Registry" to track Americans with autism www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

“We are, each of us, largely responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves.” - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Take a deep breath and look at these otters relaxing. You probably need it.

This is so fucked up.🙏🏻🇺🇸

This is why it is SO CRITICAL for Wisconsin to take a strong stand on this. Even if it costs a fortune. Even if WI loses. We press the issue. We draw a line in the sand. We show integrity. Votes are not for sale. It is in your court @joshkaulwi.bsky.social. Are you ready to meet the moment?

Join us for a #MAIHT3k livestream where @mmitchell.bsky.social will breakdown the latest "agentic AI" nonsense. See also the preprint she coauthored on the topic. ⏰ Tomorrow (Monday March 31st) at 12pm pacific ➡️ We'll see you at www.twitch.tv/dair_institute 📑 arxiv.org/abs/2502.02649

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

These "federal agents" abducted a student at Tufts University in Somerville Massachusetts, covering their faces with black cloth. What are the mayor, governor, other politicians, Tufts leadership, doing? www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuFI...

Horrifying. Disappearing and targeting students with legal status over peaceful political speech is unconstitutional and a clear violation of due process and free speech. Another blatant act of authoritarianism by the Trump Administration. Rumeysa must be released.

At a time when the rule of law is under attack, silence is complicity. Legal voices across the country are calling on AG Bondi to defend the rights of law firms facing politically motivated investigations. It’s time to take action: democracyforward.org/action/open-...

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.
