I respect WIRED so much.

Tech companies are FUMING because they thought it would be positive PR for their products.

Instead WIRED is publishing articles which expose the downsides of AI and tech surveillance. And now they’re getting sued for it. Support them!

The idea here is that first Trump takes away your gas via a stupid war, then he hands a little bit back to you via government-run gas stations, and you're supposed to thank him for giving a little bit back to you

The richest man in the world, on the 250th anniversary of America, is insisting he has "wised up" about allowing people to vote. The same guy is supporting a president unwilling to accept the results of any election he loses. Not conspiratorial to feel uncomfortable about this!

It turns out the great egg price increase that helped topple Joe Biden's presidency was <checks notes> due to an alleged conspiracy among egg producers to artificially increase prices and the coverage of that fact is a blink-and-you-miss-it story on the NYT website 🙃

The CEO of the Federalist is calling for forced sterlization of foreigners and dissolution of the union because the conservative-majority Court made one ruling he can't live with. You have the WH, House, Senate, and SCOTUS and it's not enough. Totally unhinged.

[Matt Royer @royermattw]

DHS cut this quote off one sentence early. Here’s how Roosevelt actually finished the thought, same speech, 1915:

“But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.”

He also said he wasn’t talking about naturalized citizens (“some of the very best Americans I have ever known”) and that “any discrimination against aliens is a wrong.”

Teddy Roosevelt’s descendants asked Congress to protect his legacy. Trump’s admin answered by perverting TR’s words to push their anti-immigrant agenda.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

This man, who goes by “Des,” has been a legal resident since 14. He moved some antifascist zines from one apartment to another after his wife was arrested protesting ICE.

He was sentenced to 30 years for being in “Antifa”—a non-existent boogeyman. It is murder by incarceration.

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

The administration's legal architecture around this case is worth naming directly. Trump issued an executive order declaring antifa a "domestic terrorist organization" - a designation that does not exist under U.S. law. He then issued NSPM-7, expanding the definition of domestic terrorism to include constitutionally protected political beliefs: anticapitalism, extremism on migration and gender, and "hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion and morality."

That is a presidential directive that defines political opposition as terrorism. Five of the government's own cooperating witnesses denied under oath that they or their associates considered themselves antifa members. The far-left movement has no formal membership or central structure. What exists is a legal framework designed to apply terrorism charges to protest activity the administration opposes - and a sentencing result that makes the consequences of that framework visible. One hundred years for a shooting. Clemency for an attempted coup.
