"Billionaires will leave if you tax them," is a myth created by billionaires so you won't tax them.

I wrote a very personal piece, a film commentary, on Sentimental Value, now live on Montreal Serai. Stepping outside academic writing to just write for myself was honestly refreshing.

I tried to warn right-wing Hindu Americans that getting in bed with Trump and his white supremacist pals would backfire on them eventually. Racists are always going to be racist.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. Republicans have fought for partisan gerrymanders across the United States of America. And these are the rules that they have set.

And so if the Republican Party wanted to start this, they did this in North Carolina. They drew out three Democratic members of Congress in North Carolina. They did it in Texas.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over, doesn’t fight, and takes everything sitting down. And what they’re mad at right now is that we are here in a new day. And we have been asking the Democratic Party to stand up and fight, and now they did—and now the Republican Party doesn’t like the fact that they are fighting against someone who actually will stand up for the American people.

So if Republicans decide that they would like to revisit a ban on partisan gerrymandering, I welcome them. We have the bill right here to end this all today. But they don’t want to, because they like pursuing and continuing to enact an unfair electoral landscape. And so we have an obligation to defend ourselves.

When Lina Khan ran the FTC, she spotted this *exact* scenario and launched an investigation

The very first thing Trump’s FTC Chair did when he took over was kill it

Patent applications indicate a trend toward completely integrating artificial intelligence with drugs, whereby AI applications will be so tightly linked to drugs that the drugs could be effectively unusable without the AI https://t.co/Zity8umHlZ

Most of the world’s diseases have been forgotten by commercial drug development. Patient advocacy groups must look to new types of partnerships to develop therapies https://t.co/h2sGWqwcFa

I have a PhD in political science from Oxford, focused on US foreign policy; worked as a State Dept. official in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East; and wrote a celebrated foreign policy book taught at universities like Princeton. That's why I get geopolitical questions.

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people.

OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted?

A thread on some of of our findings:

@_mahdichowdhury An apology cloaked with marketing of her popular articles, nice that screams sincere. “sorry if things got out of hand” hmmm yeah

[maush_b @maush_b]

@TulikaBose_ @_mahdichowdhury The fact that you would threaten an international student in this political climate in US, it is quite clear what your exact intention is, which is to do harm. Your magazine gives zero shit about immigrants and actual issues faced by south asians.

@MarkJCarney 's honest recognition of what the world looks like right now, the powerful furthering their interests and ignoring the rules that once protected relationships, makes me relieved that somebody gets it and is doing something about it.

@MarkJCarney 's Davos speech is brilliant. And a roadmap for what comes next.

I think the hardest part of the political climate right now is realizing how many people around me are actually evil. Not stupid. Not misinformed. Just blatantly enjoying and relishing in the suffering of other human beings.
