You Can Never Let Them Think They Have A Chance | Defector I don’t remember the first time someone hit on me as a reporter. I believe this is because my brain has come to treat these events as unremarkable. For any woman in journalism, they pile up over the y...

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about.

AI is the flashpoint of class war

Why the AI backlash has turned violent And why it's probably only going to get worse from here.

Last week, a 20 year-old man threw a molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's mansion; two days later, people fired a gun at it. Earlier that week, someone fired gunshots into an city councilman's house who approved a data center.

Adding her to Malonga and Magbegor is unreal. This team has crazy potential

Graphic titled "My Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act Explained." It is divided into two columns. The left column shows two pennies and explains that for every dollar owed above 50 million, two cents are paid, and for every dollar owed above one billion, an additional one cent is paid. The right column lists potential benefits: expanding Medicare, slashing child poverty, building homes and lowering costs, and providing free community college.

ICYMI: I reintroduced the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act.

If billionaires paid their fair share, we could pay for community college for every American, expand health care access, and reinvest in the American people.

It's open season for refusing AI There's been a wave of successful efforts to ban, reject and shut down AI.

Movements to shut down or ban data centers are amassing power and notching victories. Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content in articles. Publishers and entertainment studios are being pushed to reject AI-produced content outright.

In other words: It's open season for refusing AI.

Among the Separatists | The Tyee I wanted to learn the true target of their angry dreams. What I heard made me tremble for the Alberta I love.

@marcellodicintio.bsky.social: I wanted Canadians to understand that Alberta separatism, at its heart, isn’t motivated by equalization policies, Senate seats, carbon taxes or oil.

These tired complaints may ride shotgun on independence, but bigotry drives the truck. #canpoli #abpoli

The Far-Right Cash Machine - The American Prospect There’s money in bigotry, and specialized crowdfunding platforms are where to get it.

Incredible and infuriating story today by my brilliant colleague @naomibethune.bsky.social at @prospect.org. Besides her deep reporting, I love her writing style. She's must-read.

Screenshot of an In These Times article headlined “More Than A Slogan: Labor’s New Gambit to Tax the Rich,” by Rebecca Burns, dated March 31, 2026. Below the headline is a large photo of a protest outside a modern building: several demonstrators hold signs reading “Overpaid CEO Tax Now!” and “Taxing Greed to Pay for What We Need.” Behind them are oversized cartoon props of a cigar-smoking rich man in a blue suit covered with dollar bills and a giant money bag with a dollar sign.

Washington State just enacted a historic “millionaire tax”—and as organizers set their sights on state legislatures, more could soon follow suit.

I just hopped on here to see what the heck the Sky are doing

Trump issues order attempting to change rules for mail-in voting The order calls for limiting mail ballots and using federal data to compile lists of eligible voters – moves experts say exceed his constitutional authority.

STATES have authority over our elections and voting—NOT a delusional President trying to make it harder for Americans to exercise their right to vote & have a say in the future of our country.

Just like Trump, WA state votes by mail safely & successfully. This Executive Order belongs in the trash.

Four-byline alert: 🚨

“.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.”
