Lets be clear - Trump is saying if you are opposed to: 1) domestic mass surveillance 2) AI killing people on its own Then you are a leftwing nut job, and against the constitution.

When NGO movement people intro themselves as "I'm the Associate Interim Deputy Tier 3 Organizing Manager for the We Fight Hard campaign in the New Future department at Random Organization" - it tells people nothing about what you actually do - or maybe it tells them everything.

Let this be clear: Trump pardoned more than 1,500 people who assaulted federal law enforcement officers on his first day in office. ICE & CBP have nothing to do with "law and order" - they are trying to provoke conflicts to give Trump an excuse to accelerate his authoritarian agenda.

The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident.

It’s terrifying to be in Elon Musk’s crosshairs. I’ve spent the last 48 hours dealing with the aftermath of these tweets. Everything he has said about me and Troublemakers is an outright lie. The right to protest is at the heart of American democracy. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest. ✊❤️

Yes, we need good new these days. But Biden's offshore drilling "ban" needs to be taken with a grain of salt. It "protects" regions where drilling already isn't viable for but leaves the Gulf of Mexico (responsible for 97% of domestic offshore drilling) largely open. And don't forget....
