The college at which I'm employed, which has signed a contract with the AI firm that stole books from 131 colleagues & me, paid a student to write an op-ed for the student paper promoting AI, guided the writing of it, and did not disclose this to the paper. www.thedartmouth.com/article/2026...
First they came for California

Then they came for Maine
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Mainer
Then they came for my state...
Attached is the letter I sent this afternoon to State Secretary Belio (Spain), and Mrs. Roberta Metsola (President of the European Parliament) regarding recent events in the United States, asking them to take action to preserve the dignity and sanctity of human life and to preserve global democracy.
BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.
Study of over twenty five million people over almost four years finds that COVID vaccines reduced COVID deaths by 74% and increased all-cause deaths by zero. I don’t know how much clearer it can get than that.

the Trump admin has a sneaky plan to cut veterans' healthcare and disability benefits. great reporting from Suzanne Gordon and Steve Early: prospect.org/2025/12/08/t...
I can hear it now: but does it cause autism???? More compelling evidence that the mRNA vaccines are safe and effective. Population based study in France.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I was standing on a bridge looking that way when I heard the wind starting to blow down stream and in about 10 seconds time, I had to focus, meter and shoot before I was in a complete white out. One of my all time favorite images. It was 4 degrees F. Once in a lifetime shot

America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism.
This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are.

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...
“This is intimidation. It’s authoritarianism. And it’s a betrayal of our Constitution.” — USMC Veteran Keegan Evans
He served in Iraq. He helped fight wildfires in California.
Now he’s sounding the alarm as Troops are deployed into U.S. cities over the will of local officials.
"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025."

THREAD: An ex-DOGE engineer with no government or medical experience used AI to identify which Veterans Affairs contracts to kill, labeling them as “MUNCHABLE.”
@vernalcoleman.bsky.social@ericumansky.bsky.social and I got the code. Here’s what it tells us 1/
"Senior officials at the US Department of Veterans Affairs have ordered that VA physicians and scientists not publish in medical journals or speak with the public without first seeking clearance from political appointees of Donald Trump, the Guardian has learned."
