If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model.
Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

Kroger, which wants to buy yet ANOTHER grocery chain:
-Ranks among the largest companies with employees dependent on Medicaid & SNAP
-Paid its CEO $14M last year, 417x its median worker's pay of just $34,552
-Spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019
This is what corporate greed looks like.

This is a good example of what @ntusikov.bsky.social and I have been warning about for years: US tech companies are uniquely susceptible to extra-legal US government pressure (Google isn’t compelled to change Lake Ontario’s name.) Because of this, they represent a direct threat to Canadian autonomy.

Google--which donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee--just renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America. This is the oligarchy in action. Whatever Trump wants they deliver so that they can make more $ and/or Trump leaves them alone.

Trump’s policies are racist like water is wet.
Between October 2025 and July 2026, the U.S. accepted 10,258 refugees.
All but three (3!) were white South Africans.
Regardless of your opinion of South Africa's laws and government, I don't know how you could call this anything other than an explicitly racist policy.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe.
But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families.
Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out.
