Excellent. Here’s the habeas lawsuit filed in DC for all the men disappeared to CECOT we were waiting for.

“Cupertino has always welcomed development projects from responsible developers who care about our community and the impacts their projects may have,” Mayor Liang Chao said That's a truly masterful way of saying "NO" sanjosespotlight.com/cupertino-su...

It's never about the science. It's always about having a legal basis for your fear and hatred of other people.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

So the “women in space” sending the message that young girls belong in STEM was……bullshit ?

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

As another NYC institution once said, it's déjà vu all over again for The New York Times and former Gov. Sarah Palin. My piece on the retrial of her defamation suit against the NYT www.npr.org/2025/04/13/n...

Our @wired.com Uncanny Valley episode this week was all about tariffs (which of course changed the minute after we finished recording) and even better this eps features our **new cohost**: big boss @katie-drummond.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

This is really a worthwhile read, for a summary of what has happened and what we as individuals can do

Proud to file an amicus brief in support of the Institute of Peace, an independent nonprofit created by Congress that DOGE lawlessly commandeered. The 113 military & foreign policy officials who signed the brief have seen the "blood and treasure" saved by the Institute's work, and know its worth.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

This is a huge loss for FDA regulatory science. Peter Marks led FDA CBER during COVID vax clinical development. Rigorous standards for safety/efficacy were met before emergency use authorization. Peter Marks was one of the COVID heroes while RFK Jr was spreading disinformation. wapo.st/4hQn8fm

Kinda funny to see some Wall Street executives think the administration cares about “business” and “stable markets.” This is the Oligarchy, only the selected get rich. 🤑 #econsky finance.yahoo.com/news/why-bar...

Ivan Sigal writes that many of us, caught in the amnesia of our endless scrolling, seem to have forgotten that we control our attention. But if enough of us act, he says, we will create the demand signal that builders of technologies that privilege human agency need to validate their work.

Review of legal abuses bringing us here: 1) Unprecedented designation of LatAm criminal entities as “foreign terrorist organizations” 2) Unprecedented application of Alien Enemies Act to one of those criminal entities 3) Trump admin arbitrarily deciding who belongs to this “enemy” & deporting them

Gallego is right it’s a trap but wrong about the nature. The Trump admin picked (ostensibly) unlikeable targets b/c it would sway squishy moderates to back fascist policy. That’s often how basic rights are repealed by authoritarians. Slap a star on an unliked group & watch moderates fall in line.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

The good news is that there *are* people meeting the moment. youtu.be/EJxRtjma7lc

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Exposure to heat can alter the way your DNA works, according to a new study. The effects could lead to long-term health outcomes.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...
