if you continue to advertise that your product is so dangerous it must be stopped, WHILE CONTINUING TO RESEARCH AND RELEASE NEW VERSIONS of said product you cannot act surprised or angry when people physically attack you / your properties.
I do find this whole thing a bit weird. Anthropic could, literally, stop or change what they are doing at any time www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Anthropic says the world should have option to ‘pause’ on AI

Your regular reminder that the existence of a death penalty is fundamentally incompatible with a civilized society.
The Supreme Court's Republican appointees let Mississippi kill Charles Ray Crawford tonight, despite treatment at trial that was of the same type that SCOTUS later held in another case is unconstitutional.
All three Democratic appointees, in a lengthy dissent, would have kept him alive.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 25-385 (25A378)
CHARLES RAY CRAWFORD v. MISSISSIPPI ON APPLICATION FOR STAY AND ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF MISSISSIPPI
[October 15, 2025]
The application for stay of execution of sentence of death presented to JUSTICE ALITO and by him referred to the Court is denied. The petition for a writ of certiorari is de-nied.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from the denial of application for stay and denial of certiorari.
Charles Ray Crawford will be executed tonight for a crime that his own lawyers told the jury he committed, despite his express instructions not to do so. Had this case come to this Court on direct appeal, Crawford could have proved that his Sixth Amendment rights were violated under our decision in McCoy v. Louisiana, 584 U.S. 414
(2018), in which we held that lawyers may not override a defendant's explicit and unequivocal decision not to concede guilt at trial. He would also likely be entitled to a new trial, as a McCoy violation is a structural error that mandates reversal.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiepxn2c2sysmhnj65djmldlau3pusmhbc7t3kfv6phnqpt5itky6e)

I mean, they won't SAY why, but everyone already KNOWS why... they're fucking racists.
A bureaucracy like DHS and Border Patrol have dedicated staff whose sole responsibility is the drafting, approving, and posting of such social media content. They know the people involved. They know damn well why and it is because this is a Nazi government.
Border Patrol won’t say why it used a Michael Jackson song with antisemitic lyrics
The video was live on Facebook and Instagram for two months.

One problem is that Anti-fascism isn't an "organization" at all, just a political preference. You can no more declare antifascism to be a "terrorist organization" than you can declare People whose favourite color is green to be a "terrorist organization."
That being said: I am Anti-fascist.

BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.”
Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

Exactly so. This not a time for "gatekeeping" in anti-fascism.
You beat fascism by making common cause with everyone who is not a fascist and not a collaborator, but that second part is critical. It’s a non-ideological coalition in which we don’t have to agree about anything except the need to fight.

I want to thank President Trump and Secretary Duffy for their efforts to halt the current congestion pricing program.
While I have consistently expressed openness to a form of congestion pricing, the current program lines the MTA’s pockets at the expense of New Jerseyans.
