Trump has nearly secured his position as dictator.
He openly ignores courts and Congress.
He has a massive state propaganda network.
He has his own private army.
He has a controlled opposition party.
Intelligence and military have shown little pushback.
And he is working on elections.
Please, anyone, explain to me why Democratic voters should support Democrats taking money from AIPAC which, in part, pushed us into this war with Iran and is spending money AGAINST Democrats.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Republicans in Congress could steer voter registration drives into a ditch with bills that would all but prevent civic organizations like churches and grassroots community groups from collecting and submitting registration forms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

In which I compare the AI bubble to the Kansas Experiment: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2026/02/27/Kansas-and-GenAI
(Tl;dr: In 1991, Kansas slashed taxes based on Tea-Party theories that this would stimulate growth and make everyone better off. It didn’t go well.)

The U.S. government on Wednesday shut down a vital resource for keeping tabs on what powerful spying tools its agencies are buying, making it harder to reliably find out how agencies including ICE are spending taxpayers’ dollars. www.404media.co/the-governm...

The hidden surveillance network sending Californians' license plates to Border Patrol
California residents are noticing new license plate readers that appear to be operated by the Border Patrol. Some have had confusing encounters with agents.
this fake DOJ inquiry will also magically disappear, and like two out of a thousand news outlets will think to ask them about any potential inconsistencies

This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...

*Every time* I open macOS' Pages, I get this dialog box. I do not appreciate having to see this ad each time, nor do I appreciate that this will apparently go on forever. And I won't upgrade: there is no scenario where I ever pay $129/year to rent a word processor. That's absurd.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
The law of unintended consequences. We will see how long this policy lasts after Wall Street starts calling Trump.

Carr's attacks on free speech deservedly get so much hate all the terrible things he's doing on consolidation and consumer protection routinely fly under the radar
authoritarian zealotry provides cover for more ordinary regulatory capture and assorted horrors
you see, telecom and media consolidation is perfectly fine if the consolidating companies promise to be more racist and sexist
