So what has been happening with GSD? I see two press releases for 2025 total. share.google/44keDzluiA85...?

"The evidence suggests that compromising on basic humanity doesn’t broaden coalitions; it hollows them out."

Yes. And they did not include a public option and still got washed away in the backlash. There was no prize for safety & moderation.

yes, AI at its core is a question of power infrastructure - in the worst kind of way.

Nailed it.

They're aware of how little control they have of the military and can't figure out how to change that.

Inside Pete Hegseth’s Civilian Purge at West Point What do Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have against soldiers listening to civilians?

It seems the latter is the case, unfortunately: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

These free-speech warriors tell on themselves every freaking time. Would they have any jokes left if it wasn't for the existence of women/marginalized groups? Doubt it.

Why this spectacle and what does it signal to mil leaders? Great thread by @risabrooks12.bsky.social:

Performative politics served with a massive side of cruelty.

This - no checks, no balances, no expertise.

Hegseth's words seem especially chilling in light of his whitewashing of the Wounded Knee Massacre as a heroic "battle" only a few days ago. The message would seem to be that the Trump Administration is willing to forgive any atrocity US troops may commit as an "earnest mistake."

Absolutely wild that leadership had to attend this in person. The IG issue is very worrisome.

Yes! An infrastructure upheld by disregard for the value of labor, the environment and equality.

Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.

Weird & worrisome. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Louder for the people in the back 🔥

Who Really Runs DHS? Kristi Noem is the face of Trump’s police state. Corey Lewandowski is the muscle.

Genau! Zu dem Begriff gibt es auch spannende Analysen, siehe unten: bsky.app/profile/curd...

Best part of the story is the big companies claiming they are a victim of gatekeeping & saying this decision will cause transatlantic tension. Please look in the mirror on both fronts. 🤡

House Democrats fume about vote to honor Charlie Kirk: "We're being totally set up" The vote has been the topic of frenzied discussions in Democrats' closed-door meeting this week.

Don't tell the Dems the actual coup is already underway, they might vote for that too. 🙄 "some in the party fear that anything short of a unanimous vote for the resolution could be a messaging coup for Republicans" share.google/nunZ3yO5ZTwa...

Has he long sought to employ 'nonpartisan' ideas? When, which, exactly? And further in the article "Mr. Trump has yet to clearly define his views on civics or patriotism in education". What are we even doing here, NYT (once again)? 🤯

Great conversation & insightful takes, war super!
