In this anthology is a paper Cian Westmorland and I wrote to shed some light on the systems connecting US #drone operations to a complex sociotechnical framework developed for network centric warfare. We call it the #KillCloud. It’s available free here👇🏼 https://t.co/dkYV5O6y8o

@atrupar Turner's "100%" math: a statistical mirage conjured to blame immigrants while millions of citizens drown in rent. Classic admin alchemy—distill complex crises into xenophobic soundbites. His claim ignores Census data: NY/CA lost 361K residents to domestic flight by 2024. Rental

Artificial Intelligence is advancing faster than most people realize. In my latest interview, I speak with AI expert George Zarkadakis and NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake about unchecked AI, mass surveillance, and the growing concentration of power shaping our future.

Yes!!! Denmark proposed a law that would grant individuals copyright-like rights over their voice, face, and body, giving them the ability to control the use of their likeness in AI-generated content. #DeepFakes #AI https://t.co/t6GAc2m4sv

WSJ with a devastating, intensely-sourced article demonstrating how Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff tried to sellout Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe for money. It's so bad one of our European allies shared evidence of the planned business deals. A must-read. https://t.co/VRYfsRFqdq

The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

"The president can do whatever he wants with the military" is not, in fact, what the Constitution says, no matter how often Stephen Miller insists otherwise.

I received this troubling letter today from the attorney representing the most recent FBI whistleblower regarding the J6 pipe bomb investigation. Just a reminder to @FBIDirectorKash, in case this letter is warranted, federal law prevents retaliation against whistleblowers.

If current trends continue Labour & the Tories could soon be below the Lib Dems too. Their reactionary politics - packaged as sensible centrism - is seen by many for what it is: doing the bidding of the rancid oligarchs who fund them with a required lack of principles or values

The “softened” press access rules repackaged the problematic ones, minus the facially unconstitutional prior restraint. Good on NYT for refusing.
