“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

A Texas voter was incorrectly flagged as a noncitizen by a federal tool pushed by Trump.

“I’m here legally, and everything I’ve done has been per the law,” she told ProPublica and @texastribune.org. “I really have no idea why I had to prove it.”

Unfortunately, what we have become has been 8 years in the making. What Trump’s Gestapo/SS are doing now, is what (granted, on a smaller scale) Bill Barr’s secret police was doing 5 years ago during Floyd protests when organizers and leaders were being snatched and detained by people in black…

I suggest folks start putting "anti-AI statements" in their publications and talks. For example, state that you didn't use AI for any aspect of your work and that you didn't cite any studies that used AI.

This shows worker solidarity and makes visible the collective action against AI.

Trump Has Cut Science Funding to Its Lowest Level in Decades (Gift Article) The lag in funding extends far beyond D.E.I. initiatives, affecting almost every area of science: chemistry, computing, engineering, materials and more.

As Carl Sagan said “Cutting off fundamental, curiosity-driven science is like eating the seed corn. We may have a little more to eat next winter but what will we plant so we and our children will have enough to get through the winters to come?”

We are living in a time when monsters roam the globe.

They are destroying countless lives, fueling hate, spreading fear.

What is our moral obligation as human beings in the face of this?

How do we maintain integrity in a time of monsters? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-68f
