You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

The Guardian has identified the Columbia student abducted by DHS as Ellie Aghayeva. She posted the IG story below:

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

Beloved Sugar Plum suffered a devastating accident in her new home, & she’s fighting desperately for her life with a fractured skull & TBI. We stepped in to try to save her, but after nearly $10k in bills for Setzer just last week, we could use some help. linktr.ee/crits4cats has our donation links

But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House.
Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022.
The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

I should be old /jaded enough not to be bothered by guys hyuck-hyucking about being forced to acknowledge women who just won a gold medal. But I’ll be damned if that one hasn’t been under my skin all day.

At the very least, I don’t want to hear about the loneliness thing anymore. Go improve.

New Mexicans, please be sure to remember that Albuquerque based CSI Aviation organized this, and all deportation flights with shackled migrants. The β€œevil doers” are nearby. Closer even than Zorro ranch.

Tim Walz isn't declaring an eviction moratorium in Minnesota, so many families affected by ICE are at risk of eviction in a few days. Please donate to the rent funds at keepMNhoused.com if you have some scratch.

Donald Trump implemented the largest tax hike in decades on working families β€” and the Supreme Court just found it illegal.

Tariffs aren’t paid for by the other country β€” they’re paid by you.

Relief is finally coming, and it’s no thanks to this President.

We can't have heathcare or student loan forgiveness, but taxpayers have $10,000,000,000 to give to Trump for his personal real estate development project in Gaza that is being coordinated through his "Board of Peace"? πŸ€”

I cannot open my LinkedIn without seeing stories of PE/VC bros celebrating how youth sports is the next great investment opportunity/growth business. I get these pitches OFTEN. Nobody with actual money seems to want to grow opportunity, only milk more money from a smaller percentage of rich people.

Haven Watchβ€”the people who wait outside Whipple 24/7 to help those who have just been released, often alone and in the coldβ€”is one of the local efforts that makes me cry every single time I think about it.

I know there are a million requests for $ and we're all tapped out, but if you can help...

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."
