Marco Rubio Personally Signed Off to Detain Mahmoud Khalil on 'Foreign Policy Grounds,' Sources Confirm

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Taghreed. Taghreed is a single mother of four children and they are living in a tent after losing their home. She hesitated in starting a fundraiser because she is used to doing things on her own but now she needs help just for survival.

turns out when you legitimate a taste for bigotry people gravitate to the parties that serve it as an entree rather than as a garnish
"To the contrary, voters are on average more likely to defect to the radical right when mainstream parties adopt anti-immigration positions, a pattern that has been particularly pronounced for established RRPs."

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A.
Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

The miraculous wrinkle-erasing, acne-fighting cream, is the result of decades of horrifying medical abuse.

Was giving a presentation on the material harms of AI. Got 45min in before someone interrupted demanding to be told they could still use it. We just listened to an Ethiopian woman talk about the vile content she saw while data training, and this person just did not care. That dismissal is common.
At the end of the day, we tell you that generative AI is built on unethical copyright theft, exploits and underpays its workers, causes catastrophic environmental damage, and produces increasingly terrible looking shit, and you just decide not to care.
