AI is nowhere near “thinking” and replicating human intelligence. Skynet is not about to become self-aware. The harm is what AI gets WRONG, especially surveillance, and polluting our information ecosystem, creating hell in all of our lives as we try constantly to rectify AI mistakes done to us.

NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR should confirm Emil Bove for the 3d Circuit Court of Appeals.

This is so so so so corrupt. Why any institution is willing to negotiate is beyond me — why anyone thinks they can make a real deal is baffling. It’s corruption all the way down.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific.

Violence like this has no place in a democracy.

I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

We are horrified by these acts of unspeakable political violence. We mourn with the state and the families. As of now, we are proceeding with the No Kings event. 1/3

The same MAGA leaders backing Trump's use of the National Guard & Marines in LA refuse to put up a bronze plaque honoring the brave men and women who defended the Capitol on J6 against the violent insurrectionists seeking to overthrow an election and execute the VP & Speaker

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Powerful statement by Sen. Alex Padilla.

Please notice that anytime senators or representatives try to conduct oversight, they’re blocked.

In this case, a sitting US senator was tackled to the ground and handcuffed—for asking a question.

Where the hell has Chuck Schumer been on this?

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office —

@RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.”

BASH: “What does that mean?”

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag
And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.

This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Q: The president said that if he were Tom Homan he would arrest Gavin Newsom. Do you believe Newsom should face consequences in a legal way?

MIKE JOHNSON: Um, that's not my lane. I'm not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered.

ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller The road to fascism is paved with "objectivity" and "civility."

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller

"Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

👀

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

Rule #1: don’t call in the Marines unless you actually need the Marines. While there seems to be a good level of awareness of the high stakes, which can drive caution, the political theater of this small-minded and selfish president and his SecBro puts civilians and Marines alike in danger. 1/2

This is how you tell the truth:

“You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history. You took an oath to the constitution, not the fascist in the White House."

SHARE this as a reminder to EVERY member of our military:

“We don't take an oath to a King.

We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator”

“We take an oath to the Constitution."

#FreedomToDissent

Just in from DC Bar - labor attorney Diane Seltzer defeats securities attorney Brad Bondi in a closely watched race with record turnout.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Trump dictatorship is now openly threatening to deploy the military against peaceful protesters in California, lying that there are “riots and looting” going on. Red lines are being crossed. The US is in very great danger.

Appropriately dark representation of what’s happening to our nation.
TW: police ultimately fire tear gas grenades at the woman waving the American Flag.

This is happening in and around LA. God save us all. 🇺🇸
#ICE #LosAngeles #SoCal #DHS

They tear-gassed a woman peacefully waving an American flag.

Let that sink in.

This isn’t freedom. It’s intimidation, and it’s happening right here in America.

We must stand up and stop this, but not at night. That’s when the violence escalates and militarized police act with impunity.

Trump quoted Hitler and said he'd unleash the National Guard against the "enemy from within" before the election. Here we are folks.

The Posse Comitatus Act Explained The law generally prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are breaking the law by using U.S. troops against American citizens. Know your rights, know these conditions, and other's crimes. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
