I find this extremely chilling:
I spoke w a reporter this morning about Kimmel. (Reporter was / is great) They got back to me a short while ago to say they sought White House comment & WH demands to know first which experts they spoke with. I told reporter I'm happy to be quoted IN THE STORY but 1/x

Start with Game Changer - Season 7, Ep 1. Thank me later.

KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.

Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.

Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

A Teen Was Suicidal. ChatGPT Was the Friend He Confided In.

🚨BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit in California state court against OpenAI for defective product design and wrongful death after ChatGPT encouraged and aided a 16-year-old California boy’s suicide — including by providing detailed instructions on how to hang himself in the final hours of his life. 🧵

The exchanges between Adam and ChatGPT are devastating. This, in my mind, is the worst one.

One of his last messages was a photo of the noose hung in his bedroom closet, asking if it was "good." ChatGPT offered a technical analysis of the set up and told him it 'could potentially suspend a human."

People's AI Action Plan

The Trump administration’s forthcoming AI action plan will center industry interests & lead to the unrestrained, unaccountable roll-out of AI into every part of our lives. With @ainowinstitute.bsky.social, we’re among the 90+ orgs demanding AI policy that puts the people first. peoplesaiaction.com

Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Trump post: Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I think you should be able to say things the president doesn’t like and still be a citizen. Maybe we should write that down somewhere.

After a child care worker is detained by ICE, a community is left reeling Nicolle Orozco Forero is one of the thousands of immigrant women who provide child care for American children, and one of the few who cares for children with disabilities. Now she and her seriously il...

When ICE targets one vulnerable community (immigrants), it has a cascading effect on other vulnerable communities (children, the disabled, etc.). This is great reporting from @19thnews.org showing exactly how ICE is destroying families and communities.

Do we know about Jared Goff?

Thinking a lot lately about how the bar has moved even lower for transparency - from “who wrote/said/did what” to “is it even a person?”

And this occurs in all sorts of scenarios and industries - customer service chat, journalism, law, and policing.

This in a state where the rich like to come and play while polluting our rivers and cutting access to public land. I'm so fucking sick of this inhumanity and bottomless greed.

1 in 5 Montanans rely on medicaid. Reading estimates that 31,000 Montanans alone will lose their healthcare because of the BBB. Not to mention the $5.4B that our rural hospitals could lose. Daines, Sheehy, Zinke, and Downing this is on YOU.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Red alert for the big bill blocking state tech laws!

There’s a new draft of the AI moratorium and it’s WORSE. The exceptions narrowed so “generally applicable” laws only survive if they do not create an “undue OR disproportionate burden” on AI. This creates huge uncertainty for which laws survive.

I mean, if everything is going in the shitter, there’s no reason to have anti-gay people have all the fun; start making religious objections to all sorts of stuff. The Ten Commandments getting put into class all over, for instance. That’s at least 40% religious orthodoxy.

I feel like incoherent confidence is the current theme of the last decade...

Person holds sign saying “Daines skis in jeans” during peaceful protest in Bozeman, MT.

Seeing cowboys, farmers, first-time protesters turnout in small towns in red states like MT is filling my heart with hope. Let’s go!

If you're heading out to a protest, there are a number of concepts to keep in mind to keep yourself—and your data—safe.

The only king I serve.

Journalist shot by Minneapolis police during 2020 protests dying from injuries Linda Tirado was in Minneapolis from out of state covering the protests and rioting when police shot her in the face with a rubber bullet, also known as a "less-lethal" round.

in so many videos out of LA i am seeing officers aiming rubber bullets right into crowds, this is filling me with a deep and anxious rage knowing what happens when they do that
