Chilling. Bill Gates: “A.I. without proper regulation is completely irresponsible. You need law enforcement and the politicians to get into the discussion about what safeguards and monitoring look like. A.I. is certainly powerful enough to drive events that, you know, cause a billion deaths.”

Trump’s FCC is cutting internet access for over 100,000 public schools & libraries.This is about denying education,blocking pathways out of poverty,widening the digital divide.The internet is a necessity, not a luxury, for communities that rely on public resources to stay connected & move forward.

How Trump Has Cracked Down on Dissent Since the Killing of Charlie Kirk

This is a really important development. FINALY major media outlets take a stand against Trump’s fascist suppression of the free press—the underpinning of our Democracy. Fox News, ABC, NBC and CBS just SUSPENDED their shared TV coverage of Trump after he banned CNN from the White House.

Trump told North Carolinians at his rally that he would deny FEMA funding for natural disasters in North Carolina if the Republican lost. “If Michael loses, I’m not sending it, okay?” He’s threatening HIS OWN SUPPORTERS with withholding disaster aid if they don’t vote for his friends. Sickening.

Paul Krugman: There have been many trade conflicts in history, some more destructive than the US-Canada fight. But I don’t think there has ever been a dispute this stupid. It’s all deeply humiliating — for us. But it’s also important to realize that this will do real damage to the US economy.

I’m appalled by how many politicians support Israel’s genocide in Gaza. 33 Democrats joined Republicans to pass H.R. 4795, targeting colleges and universities receiving federal student aid for boycotting Israel. Boycotts are peaceful political protest. Punishing them attacks free speech and dissent!
