AI is being used to... -Facilitate online scams -Process health insurance claims, leading to wrongful denials -Price gouge customers via surveillance pricing -Set higher car insurance premiums using personal data The dangers of AI aren’t in some far-off future. They're already here.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

"Never once, oddly enough, have they suggested raising the cap on the maximum earnings subject to Social Security taxes. Asking wealthier people to pay payroll taxes on wages above $185,000 would fund the system long into the future. But of course, that’s the last thing Republicans want. "

WELL worth reading, folks.

But as of April 29, 2026, there is no federal statute in the United States of America that can stop racially discriminatory voting laws from going into effect, or can be used to litigate against them once on the books.

Folks, these are the stakes. Black Americans spent a century fighting and dying for the VRA. It is no more. It falls to all of us to pick the work back up, and carry on. Lament. Rage. Cry. Scream. I've done all these and more this week.

But it will take our demanding it for it to happen

Sinners is one of the movies that really hammers home to me that the Oscars should be on a five-year delay, so that we have time to recognize the cultural impact of the movie. Losing best picture is *bonkers*. I doubt that folks are going to be talking about One Battle After Another in five years.

I am very annoyed that people think 'rich' means 'that guy has a mercedes and takes a vacation to italy once a year' and not 'that guy has more money than 40% of the world combined and can decide to start or stop wars based on his personal prejudices' the sums involved are incomprehensible

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
