So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
The Department of Legal Aid for White Supremacists, Seditionists and Other Far-Right Extremists goes after the SPLC.
Who wants to be remembered as the fed chairman who blew up the US economy to satisfy a madman’s whim?
Just answer the question, Kevin!

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?
On ex-Twitter, Amb. Navarro says after the collapsed F-16 sale to Peru “rest assured that against anyone who negotiates in bad faith and undermines U.S. interests” he’ll use “all available tools to promote my country’s prosperity & security in the region.” A Donroe Doctrine threat.
Peru’s interim president cancels signing for purchase of 24 F-16 fighter jets, leaving it up to next govt. U.S. ambassador Bernie Navarro is livid. As part of the deal, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were going to build Peru a new naval base. What will Trump do now? www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice is demanding that Wayne County, Michigan turn over its ballots from the 2024 election to investigate voter fraud claims. Michigan’s attorney general and secretary of state have responded saying that’s not going to happen. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Yes, good to remind the world that Stan and Ollie serve as the mad king’s personal envoys (commercial agents). Don’t miss the latext exposé on son-in-law’s rapacious self-dealing: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u... @ericlipton.nytimes.com
Blame Anthropic. ;-)
Anthropic has held back on releasing its Mythos Gen AI model worried about its ability to supercharge malicious hacks. But the company’s policy chief, Jack Clark, says it won’t be very long until a competitor releases an equally capable model. @mattoyeah.bsky.social

INCREDIBLE reporting from the NYT’s @jodikantor.bsky.social and @adamliptak.bsky.social on the inner workings of the Supreme Court in the moment the justices unleashed the shadow docket.
A leaked document obtained by @citizenlab.ca says Webloc sells data/identifiers including geolocation from "up to 500 million mobile devices across the globe” to U.S. and foreign security agencies (including ICE) and military. H/t @rondeibert.bsky.social

New: France said it plans to move its government computers currently running Windows to the open-source software Linux to further reduce its reliance on U.S. tech. Comes at a time of growing instability and unpredictability on the part of the Trump administration and weaponization of sanctions, etc.
Wear rose-colored glasses. Better yet, get mirror shades.
I don't know who needs to hear this — anyone? everyone? — but whatever you do, do NOT give Sam Altman your eyeballs. You will never get them back and you have no idea what he'll do with them. If anyone asks you for your eyeballs, you should run away as far and as fast as you can.
U.S. customers of the Webloc mobile device surveillance product include the Texas Department of Public Safety, DHS West Virginia, NYC district attorneys and police departments in Los Angeles, Dallas, Baltimore, Tucson, Durham.
Nice to see @wchr.bsky.social among the authors.
There is a big Hungary angle: “In collaboration with journalists at VSquare (@SzabolcsPanyi.bsky.social), we reveal that Viktor Orbán’s domestic intelligence has been using Webloc since at least 2022.” vsquare.org/orban-spying...
Webloc customers also include the national police in El Salvador.
Of course you haven’t heard of Webloc … It’s was recently purchased by Penlink, which has been in the surveillance intelligence-vending business since the 1980. Link to report: citizenlab.ca/research/ana...

Proud to see the AP receive recognition for a principled stand, and hear an important reminder about media ethics.

I should be clear that the Trump admin continues to let the U.S. defense industry send arms to Ukraine. As long as somebody else pays for them.
Cutting military aid and weapons shipments to Ukraine is among JD Vance’s “proudest achievements.” The guy makes Darth Vader look like a Boy Scout. kyivindependent.com/vance-calls-...
It seems clear Trump’s FBI is hoping for carte blanche from Congress to read any opponent’s email, tap their phone and know their location, too.
Or maybe Kash Patel doesn’t care about the 4th Amendment and will surveil whomever he decides is antifa.
