NEW: A major Russian propaganda campaign has waded into the US midterms, seeding a fake video that purports to show a former student of James Talarico accusing him of sexual assault. The group spread near-identical disinformation about Tim Walz in 2024. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

📌NYT POLL: Likely voters favor Dem candidates over the GOP by an astonishing +11%. Trump’s approvals are at an all-time low 34%. Only Truman had a lower approval rating. I am as tired of the polls as you are, but WHEN the GOP gets demolished Nov. 3 NOBODY can say they are surprised. For now: VOTE.

Ukraine’s October drone attacks on Russian data centers caused outages beyond major platforms. Meduza’s analysis, featuring Ukrainian IT entrepreneur Sergei Petrenko, says the strikes apparently set Russia’s AI development back by years. 1/5

Musk is not an American. He is an international oligarch who has chosen America for its loose regulations and charitable approach to his businesses. He conducts business and influences politics worldwide based on his own agenda. He would feed on his dying host to build from its bones.

if Elon is spending millions of dollars of his own money to push this message with paid media, what do you think he does to the black box algorithm on his platform that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are shown to others?

This is an important article. The authors argue: What we’ve seen is reversible—but only if we have two parties that commit to defending democracy.

Lucan Way and I have been writing about competitive authoritarianism for more than 25 years. We never thought we'd write this piece. www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/com...

journalofdemocracy.orgCompetitive Authoritarianism in America | Journal of DemocracyThe United States has slid into competitive authoritarianism. The slide has been modest and remains reversible—but it is real. Even after Donald Trump, American democracy will remain fragile.

New article from me where I propose a Pigovian automation tax to slow down the deployment of AI by companies in a way that also creates an incentive for them to embrace shorter workweeks, lower their prices, boost the incomes of displaced workers, and take a healthy step toward Medicare for All.

Sick fucks. A simple grandfather clause would have prevented punishing whiplash.

This is appalling. These Haitians were here legally under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. The Trump regime spread racist lies, ended the program, declared them illegal and rounded them up in chains for deportation. Now DHS is proudly posting videos of Black Haitians in chains.
