My new op-ed is out today in TIME: Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History. It’s about the systematic assault on America’s cultural institutions—and why it matters.

Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History

"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Huh. I just realized how weird it is to live with one foot nailed in the past when you can't remember any of it.

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.

But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Generative AI is a societal disaster

Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society

He is under the mistaken idea that the Dems need 'every political ally they can get' and he's reaching for those that are politically active, even if they are poison -- instead of motivating those who are politically apathetic.

Written in 2015, as a warning to the #midwest about the future they faced. Based on the model of E.Europe and Soviet farming. But the collectives of the #UnitedStates will be owned by the #oligarchs.
