Voter suppression doesn’t always announce itself with a dramatic speech. Sometimes it arrives as confusing rules, reduced access, administrative obstacles and endless excuses. Pay attention to who benefits when voting becomes harder. 🗣️ #JulesUnfiltered

The trauma America is causing is shameful. We’re consciously choosing to act in ways (ICE actions) that create terror, incomprehension, and trauma that will make it harder for these children to navigate thru life as adults. It’s unforgivable.

Last night I reported investigative journalist Mykhailo Tkach had been arrested in Austria, along with his camerman. They were trying to trace Ukraine's former prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko. Tkach has now been released after 12 hours in detention, but Yaroslav Bondarenko's still missing:

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good." 

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues  "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️
