Tech execs are promising us a shiny future with AI - it'll make art, revolutionize work, and even cure cancer. It's a sharp contrast to our current reality, with AI threatening human artists, devaluing labor around the world, and polluting people's lungs next to gas turbine-powered data centers.

The pattern of authoritarians using war for their own ends appears throughout history. War is used to redirect attention away from domestic scandals, political losses, and unpopular policies. It often creates an atmosphere where expanding state power can be framed as national defense

Great to see folks increasingly use "Epstein Class" as moniker. More potent and accurate still would be "Epstein Regime" as it's not merely a cohort but rather tied to the folks in political power and determined to rule over us.

Media challenge: Stop using the word "immigration" in phrases about abduction, assault, murder, and so on. Immigration means the movement of people into a country for purposes of residency. What's being "enforced" here is terror & crimes against humanity.
