I'm back, I missed you all.

Since this is an important subject I know too much about, here's a 🧵 explaining that

AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult.

I don't think these people should make policy. (1/?)

Just got outta the TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY 35th anniversary rerelease and Jesus Christ, man. What a movie. They had to do all that shit for real. They had to fly that helicopter under an overpass. They had to blow up that building. They had to find an actor who could turn into liquid metal.

This is the brief you file if you are laser focused on avoiding transparency and accountability.
The feds just made it official: They won't fight a bid by members of the "Broadview 6" for attorneys' fees.

They do "not concede that the United States has acted or done anything to warrant those fees." They also say there should be no discovery.

What we already know is horrific.

Imagine how bad discovery would be if the government is willing to pay our fees (something the government doesn’t readily do) just to avoid it.

"The Extreme Sentences Handed to Anti-ICE Protesters Should Terrify Us All"

30-100 years! Perhaps the most important and scary story you'll read all week:
The Extreme Sentences Handed to Anti-ICE Protesters Should Terrify Us All
The sentences, ranging from 30-100 years, are part of an increasingly disturbing pattern of the Trump administration criminalizing speech and assembly.

NEW — The sentencing of the Prairieland demonstrators shows the brutality of Trump's war on dissent, but it's not without precedent, @kimkelly.bsky.social writes.

History shows us the government has always punished anti-fascism. But this time we can change the narrative in real time.

From Haymarket to Prairieland: How dissent has unleashed the long arm of the law
The Prairieland sentencing has dark historical parallels, Kim Kelly writes. But we can change the end of the current story.

“Let them eat cake.” — former chair of the DNC
June 24, 2026 at 6:37 PM
I hope the DNC burns to the ground, personally. I hope every AIPAC elevated monster is literally tried for treason and found guilty. You’re getting your ass absolutely handed to you in the replies. Keep sharing those opinions, keep pushing people away from your party and wondering why you lose. ✌️
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.

Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

Only a sense of impunity explains the willingness of someone to run another human being over in a public space with plenty of cameras. They assume the Trump administration will protect them from prosecution.
