Hey media--

Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections.

Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice.

Language matters.

For nearly a year, DHS tried to keep secret that it had killed a U.S. citizen.

Then came a FOIA request from @weareoversight.bsky.social.
How a DHS shooting of a third U.S. citizen went unnoticed for months
No state or federal agency disclosed that a Homeland Security Investigations agent had killed Ruben Ray Martinez until it was revealed in a public records request.

“The Pentagon objects to Anthropic’s ethical restrictions because military operations need tools that don’t come with built-in limitations. The official argued that the Pentagon has only issued lawful orders and stressed that using Anthropic’s tools legally would be the military’s responsibility.”
Hegseth warns Anthropic to let the military use the company’s AI tech as it sees fit, AP sources say
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is pressuring Anthropic to give the military broader access to its artificial intelligence technology or lose its Pentagon contract.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean…

Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I’m glad Harvard is showing some spine and fighting back.

At the same time I can’t help but think about how the attacks came first for Black academic leaders like Claudine Gay, and Black/African students who were criminalized for protest.

We are always the canaries in the coal mine. ALWAYS.
