I picked a hell of a week to visit Europe, and Switzerland, at that.l I’ve spent three days at an international gathering, and, Americans: everybody else is deep into planning a post-US world. We are only worth considering as an opponent. New alliances are being formed. We are being left behind.

an agency-wide criminal conspiracy against the constitution. no one in the department of homeland security is fit for any government service
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Screaming this at every opportunity. So much irreparable damage already done.
Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

If folks were honest with themselves they would understand that the point of AI is to inhibit your ability to think. The end of human thinking is the goal of those who create AI. This isn't even a secret, I suppose.

Calling Congressional Republicans and supportive business leaders cowardly or weak is generous.
Assumes they're moral and patriotic, and therefore don't like all this, but are just too scared to do anything about it.
Their actions, however, indicate that they're into it. Or at least don't mind.

We've spent ten years being proved right about all the things the loudest, biggest voices in the UK media insisted, often obnoxiously, we were wrong about. The real kicker is that there's no consolation whatsoever in being correct. Brexit, Putin, Johnson, Truss, Trump, Twitter, Netanyahu etc etc...

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”
1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.
2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.

The end result is journalists who do want to say hard truths bluntly either learn to shut up (because journalism jobs are scarce) or they leave.
And you're never going to see the byline of someone who refused to capitulate on a story like that.
Internal opposition inherently becomes invisible.

Journalists are supposed to oppose authority and hold truth to power.
But journalistic institutions are authoritarian and don't reward the above.
