I was honored to serve on the @freepress.bsky.social board with Brandi Collins-Dexter and participate in media policy discussions with her. She was clearly so talented and principled. Her passing is a profound loss for so many and for social justice writ large. uccmediajustice.org/brandi-colli...
Great read @zey.bsky.social. Musk baits his followers & Grok to make controversial, politically incorrect statements. The training language is nearly identical to his own tweets, as he invites users to be more inappropriate so the LLMs can train off that language. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/o...
“The most lucrative company in Vance's portfolio is Anduril, which has received an eye-popping $220 million in government contracts since Trump and Vance took office and seen a 125% increase in its valuation. It is expected to reap massive new contracts from the so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ …”
James David Vance stands to profit from Trump military contracts, crypto reserve. "Financial disclosures analyzed by Accountable.US reveal that the vice president is invested in several defense contractors that have reaped lavish contracts since Trump's return to office.”
Gisele Fetterman spent a solid chunk of her BOOK TOUR interview calling stories about Senator Fetterman's erratic job performance "clickbait" and defending her visit to Mar-a-Lago. And complaining about how people criticize other people for rubbing shoulders with fascists. Her BOOK TOUR.
5+ months after we released research hypothesizing that the pro-Russia Pravda network was grooming LLMs to spit out propaganda, even "reasoning" models are still citing the network. Proud to publish this piece with AI critic @garymarcus.bsky.social! americansunlight.substack.com/p/bad-actors...
“The restraining order, if granted, would prevent the Trump admin from removing Abrego Garcia to a third country without proper notice and an opportunity to challenge his removal.” “The concern that we have here is that he’ll be gone in a blink and never to be heard from again,” an attorney said.
The MAGA Murder Budget’s monstrous ICE spending is Stephen Miller’s wish come true, gutting healthcare and food assistance for millions of Americans in order to fund for-profit detention camps and masked kidnappings targeting our immigrant neighbors: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/the-big-ug...
I am having a very hard time managing my fury listening to Gisele Fetterman doing a media circuit on a book tour for a book about a politics of "tenderness." She's clearly a kind-hearted person but it tries my patience hearing her talk about tenderness while partnered with a genocide advocate
These images and video coming out of California are a view of the republicans fascist advance and its unfolding war against America. Anyone claiming we can beat this through non violence and voting alone is lying. The republicans are at war against us and people need to act like it.
The DOJ claimed it released 11 hours of “full raw” footage from a camera near Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. But @dmehro.bsky.social discovered the footage was modified, likely using Adobe software and came from at least two source clips www.wired.com/story/metada...
years ago, I debated the Johnson Amendment, that crucial rule that prevents nonprofits and churches from wading into partisan elections. If you want to understand what's at stake and why Trump's IRS decision is a disaster for our democracy, here's a link: youtu.be/IKWI3a5YJCY&...
I'm reading this new(ish) textbook and it's such an incredible project and resource. Not only is it the most constructive guide to doing (good) qualitative research I know, all of its contributors are women or nonbinary/genderqueer. Love it! Great job Jennifer Cyr & @saragoodman.bsky.social 👏
“We are in a historical moment in which key parts of the Jewish community are shifting: a moment in which the possibility of a politics of horizontal solidarity can be glimpsed.” Brilliant Left meditation on fighting antisemitism in Britain vashtimedia.com/against-poli...
First Amendment on the fritz with journalists in the crosshairs while trying to do their jobs. Arrest, detention, retaliation, threats to public media. We’ll dig in today to the exhaustive & often unconstitutional attacks on press freedom today at the Nat’l Assoc. of Hispanic Journalists conference:
Last September Tucker Carlson hosted far-right streamer Darryl Cooper aka MartyrMade on his show to discuss the 'true history of WW2'. Tucker called him "the best & most honest popular historian in the US". On a podcast yesterday Cooper discussed the supposed Jewish subversion of Gentile societies
the Germans needed Romania because they had oil reserves in Europe, there wasn't wide knowledge/ability to extract the oil in the Middle East at the time the German military was a SHAMBLES, didn't even have universal replaceable parts till way too late in the war
The silence of FEMA's David Richardson around Texas is less confusing when you consider that the Administration wants to eliminate FEMA. Everything we've heard since January seems to indicate he's more concerned about brow-beating the rank and file than actually responding to disasters.
Legislating Uncertainty: New paper about the 2020 election, showing how laws in certain states (specically laws that delayed the counting of mail-in ballots) increased uncertainty about election results and contributed to rumoring about election integrity: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
great article by Drew. I have a lot of thoughts about this from a book chapter I've been working on: the "black box" argument is at the center of the *huge accountability gap* opened by AI and violates the basic temporal and informational assumptions embedded in representative government.
Read this entire thread. There's lots of legal wrangling in here, but it's extraordinary. Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador and tortured, is seeking assurances he won't be kidnapped and deported again, with zero due process, if released from prison. The state won't commit to that.
Yes, they literally are trying to kill as much of the population as they can. It is a pro eugenics social Darwinist movement that sees America as “mindless eaters” that must be “culled” so the strongest can survive. MAHA and the rights plan is literal autogenocide and social murder at scale
I think this is right. It's not the news orgs that are keeping that place relevant. It's that the politicians, celebrities, athletes, artists, etc are all still there. I think a lot of people really overestimate how many people actually keep up with the news. It's abysmal and worse by the day.
