Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

In Trump’s first administration, he was surrounded by buffers and filters—now he has amplifiers. Thomas Friedman joined @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social on Washington Week to discuss how leaders are viewing the instability, and Trump’s feud with Musk:

To understand how tech intersects with democracy & the future, look to Africa—especially Kenya. I spoke with Siasa Place's Nerima Wako-Ojiwa & journalist Odanga Madung about worker movements, AI bias, government censorship, and the youth resistance shaping tomorrow.

A complex & interesting article by @philipcball.bsky.social that contains a sentence that [serendipitously] perfectly captures our world in 2025: “Not only do we not know what will happen, we don’t even know what can happen.” 👀 @katie-drummond.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/why-ev...

I really doubt that an “AI privilege” based on doctor-patient or lawyer-client privilege is a box Sam Altman wants to open up unless he also supports: (1) State licensing to offer AI services. (2) Malpractice liability for bad AI advice. (3) Legal sanctions if the AI breaches confidentiality.

This great series of essays explains this moment of collusion between Big Tech + authoritarian forces that threatens democracy. Our president @kevindeliban.bsky.social’s essay is the fourth in the thread + explains how AI is stripping people of the stability needed to participate in democracy.

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

One striking thing from this (excellent) report on a DOGE employee's use of AI is that everything about it is antithetical to sound software engineering practices—an engineer hurriedly deploying an unfamiliar tool to meet an impossible deadline for a problem domain in which he has no expertise.

The EU wants to shape global tech policy and secure its place beside the US and China. It must double down on international partnerships even amid rising global tensions if it hopes to prove its role as a key player in digital diplomacy, writes Tech Policy Press contributing editor Mark Scott:

[cw: explicit] Six years into the deepfake nudes epidemic, we are nowhere near beating back the tools that make this abuse possible. In fact, AI nudifiers are expanding their services and remain unrepentant in their use of mainstream platforms to reach customers. indicator.media/p/ai-nudifie...

to summarise the study, there is negligible productivity and time gain from AI chatbot use and the only driving factor for mass deployment is fabricated fear of being left behind from the "AI revolution"
