Anthropic has publicly stated that it will not support the use of its AI for domestic surveillance or for lethal actions without human oversight. The contrast is hard to ignore. Many people are deleting the ChatGPT app. For those looking for an alternative, downloading Claude by Anthropic.

Boycott OpenAI! OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, announced Friday that the company reached an agreement with the Department of Defense to deploy its AI models on a classified network just hours after Trump ordered federal agencies to phase out rival Anthropic.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

How many times have Republicans broke quorum in House of Reps? Do go on…. I’m all ears 😂

And how, exactly, do you think things are going to roll if Dems win the House & Republicans decide to “return the favor” you have advised, because that sword cuts both ways.

SCOTUS rejects private prison company GEO Group's attempt at avoiding accountability A long-delayed lawsuit challenging GEO Group's treatment of people in immigration detention can proceed again. A unanimous decision that matters — especially now.

Thanks @chrisgeidner.bsky.social for this great writeup of our victory at SCOTUS against GEO Group and why it matters!

The United States government is currently covering up evidence the President sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl and is demanding every AI company allow their products to be utilized for mass surveillance of Americans and autonomous weapons systems.

Not great!

Also wondering how AI will affect unemployment rate. Not to mention the vast amounts of power and water it uses, the pollution it produces. Also - I prefer to exercise my problem solving skills rather than have AI do everything for me.

Btw, had the electorate given Dems at least one house of Congress or the White House, the OBBB in its current form never would have passed: CPB/ICE wouldn't have a $75 billion slush fund, tax cuts for the wealthy, ending enhanced health care subsidies, cutting every green new deal initiative, etc.

The electorate failed Dems and gave all the power to Republicans, in both houses of Congress and the White House.

What do you think is going to happen when the electorate gives Dems little to no power? The Senate has more leverage, the House has virtually none. People don't follow legislators then complain they're "doing nothing". Not to mention US is woefully uneducated in civics/processes of government

Yes, I do. And its really something when people spend more time attacking Democrats than they do attacking the people responsible for causing all this chaos --> REPUBLICANS.

People at DoD who are blowing boats out of the water and killing everyone on board, destroying evidence and executing humans without due process, violating international law, is whining about following the law?

Netflix exits bidding war for Warner Bros after Paramount offer Netflix said it was backing from buying Warner Bros Discovery's streaming and studio assets, saying the deal was no longer financially attractive.

Netflix drops its bidding war for Warner Brothers and Paramount will soon own CNN and will turn into another CBS. This is a consolidation media which is against anti trust laws and will benefit the regime. Please call your AG esp if you have a democratic one and demand they sue to stop this.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

Exclusive: State election chiefs are huddling to plan responses to Trump’s expected interference in midterms The signs that Trump will try to intervene are too many and too big to ignore.

Democratic election chiefs are running through all the possibilities of Trump interfering in the midterms:

“There’s a list of 10 or 20 scenarios that probably keep us up at night," Vermont’s secretary of state said.

And they're preparing for every last one to ensure voters cast their ballots.
