Don't have full confirmation on this yet, but hearing that Guevara was sent to El Salvador this morning, which is just fucking shameful. He was here with legal permission and this was 100% punishment for his journalism about protests.

Labeling an entire class of people extremists based on one shooting would be bad enough - but the shooter wasn't trans. The only trans person involved in this was surprised and horrified by what happened and began cooperating immediately with police

Asking journalists to sign a pledge not to disclose anything the Pentagon doesn’t want you to see just as Pentagon is:
-sending troops into US cities
-illegally murdering alleged low level drug runners
-possibly preparing to invade Venezuela

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

US appeals court orders deportation of Atlanta journalist detained by Ice Mario Guevara faces imminent removal from US as his attorney files emergency petition

With the news cycle focused on ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, a journalist with a valid US work permit and pending green card application is about to be deported for the crime of reporting www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.”

That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.

“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

one of the things that was most jarring about being undercover in nazi chatrooms for my book was how often violent videos were posted in the channels. executions, murders, blood. purposeful desensitization to violence can be detached from ideology and just entail inurement to the sight of death

He and Maxwell tried to have a baby in secret.

She helped distribute $1.8 million in gifts and wire transfers to underage girls and powerful men.

They coordinated efforts to discredit women who came forward.

And she nurtured Epstein’s ties to the world’s elite.

Jeffrey Epstein Email Trove Reveals Ghislaine Maxwell’s Secrets A cache of 18,000 messages obtained by Bloomberg News reveals Maxwell’s deep ties and involvement with the disgraced financier and sex offender.

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails.

It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

Unfortunately, I expect that the fact they won a pretty resounding fair use victory is going to be lost in much of the coverage. They lost on downloading & storing the LibGen dataset, but the actual act of training on copyrighted material (and making their own ebooks) was a win.

The Baby Died. Whose Fault Is It? When her son died in utero, a venture capitalist went to extremes to punish her surrogate.

Wild story on the stillborn death of a baby via surrogate, which truly has it all—capitalism run amok, America's unregulated surrogacy industry, maternal mortality crisis, VC hubris, class conflict, weaponization of fetal personhood laws, Facebook echo chambers.

US Supreme Court allows NIH to cut $2 billion in research grants The decision will hinder lawsuits against grant terminations, legal specialists say.

The whiplash is dizzying. “Just a few hours before the Supreme Court decision, I got an e-mail that I was able to resume spending,” one researcher tells @dangaristo.bsky.social and @maxkozlov.bsky.social. Now, the grant is likely to be cut again. “It’s heartbreaking.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad The president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

DOGE Targeted Him on Social Media. Then the Taliban Took His Family. Afghan scholar Mohammad Halimi, who fled the Taliban in 2021, had worked to help U.S. diplomats understand his homeland. Then DOGE put his family’s lives at risk by exposing his sensitive work for a U...

3/ Halimi initially wonders if Musk’s accusation is an April Fool’s joke. After all, the decades of work he had done consulting for U.S. diplomats wasn’t in service of the Taliban; it was the opposite.

Little did he know his nightmare was just beginning.

LOL.

Some humor in today's insane political corruption news.

On the ground in Ukraine’s largest Starlink repair shop Elon Musk's satellite internet service has been absolutely critical to the country's defense. But staying connected through war relies on innovation and rehab work from “The People’s Starlink.”

Ukraine's vital Starlink access largely comes down to the unofficial community of users and engineers that keep it running.

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

RFK Jr. warned about giving the government your data. Now he wants it. The Health and Human Services secretary's pivot on wearables is a case study in how conspiracy extremists rebrand themselves once in positions of power.

RFK Jr. used to warn about a government takeover of our data. He said wearables and their tech were part of a plot to surveil us, enabled tyranny, caused cancer, and turned users into “permanent consumers” to Big Tech.

Now, he'd like your data, please.
