this @kashhill.bsky.social piece is a wild read imo the true cogito-hazard of LLMs aren't the models themselves, but the chat UX. no one thought about the colossal externalities of chatbots because big tech product managers and UX designers never do www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

As I just flagged, this has been replaced with something which is arguably worse; requiring that basically every plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government pay millions or billions of dollars in "security" to pay for "costs" to the federal government if they later win.

People are having very strange conversations with ChatGPT, in which they discover secret cabals or conspiracies or that we are all in fact living in The Matrix. It sends these people into delusional spirals. Then ChatGPT tells them to email me about it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/t...

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

i will never not be mad that the Biden admin wasted 4 years doing nothing to dismantle this revanchist security state. they couldn't even be bothered to soften the blow. and now all of the people that staffed this failure have podcasts or teaching appointments or media jobs.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

This poll reminds me of something I've meant to post. It's widely observed in authoritarianism studies that popular autocrats are the most dangerous because other powerful actors will comply rather than obstruct them. So Trump's unpopularity might seem to weaken him...but for US institutions...

one of the problems with the information environment outside the RWE horrorsphere is a lack of mid-level influencers working as a kind of filtration system testing frames against each other. party elites and movement leaders are missing the essential connective tissue to potential narratives.

National Guards troops and Marines deployed to Los Angeles are “deeply troubled” about the assignment and feel like they have become “political pawns.” They’re sleeping on concrete floors with no beds, not enough toilets, no funds for food or water, and morale is low.

“Even with the high-profile arrests of suspects by masked immigration agents and the plane loads of migrants swiftly ferried out of the U.S., President Trump was falling short of the number of daily deportations carried out by the Biden administration in its final year.” That’s some lede.

ICE fled the scene after ramming a car in Boyle Heights! ABC-7 in L.A. reporting what police said. They're saying there was an incident involving "a federal agent." "They fled the scene." "Hollenbeck Division is even saying they're investigating this, possibly as an assault with a deadly weapon."

I cannot stress enough how much the anti-ICE protests are an overwhelming win for Democrats on social media. I’m seeing Instagram influencers who stayed silent on politics for the past year loudly sharing support for immigrants. I’m seeing podcasters who interviewed Trump talk about how wrong ICE is

NEW: I stayed in my lane and covered how the conspiracy theorist community, and QAnon in particular, is handling the LA protests. Unsurprisingly, they think the storm is finally upon us - and that the National Guard deployment proves Q drop #1 correct. themikerothschild.com/2025/06/11/l...

note that absolutely nowhere in the legacy media will you see condemnation of targeted violence against press. the editors and managers of prestige TV and print media in the US do not care about their workers and will not defend them against even the worst political violence.

It’s literally impossible. Even when the police are shooting AT JOURNALISTS, journalists make it seem like it’s the protests’ fault, and refuse to even state who actually caused the injuries. The media MUST improve how they report on the ppl w the guns and the teargas.

Maybe they really were ICE officers. Or maybe they were a band of vigilantes, arbitrarily snatching brown-looking people off the street. All eyes are now on LA, but secret police are descending upon smaller towns nationwide too. Masked and armed, they refuse to show IDs or warrants. wapo.st/4kIGFke
