The future of war may depend less on what AI can do, and more on what governments choose to restrain.

Drop Site @DropSiteNews More than 300 writers, scholars, and public figures, including nearly 150 past New York Times contributors, have pledged to boycott the paper’s Opinion section under the banner “Genocide Is Not a Matter of Opinion.” They are demanding that the Times conduct an independent review of anti-Palestinian bias and publish new editorial standards, retract its discredited “Screams Without Words” article, and that its Editorial Board call for a U.S. arms embargo on Israel. Signatories include Rashida Tlaib, Sally Rooney, Rupi Kaur, Gabor Maté, Mohammed El-Kurd, Greta Thunberg — and Drop Site’s Alex Colston and Sharif Abdel Kouddous — among others.

Why is Mamdani constantly asked about Israel and Palestine, but no other candidate who parrots Israel's talking points is ever asked if they condemn a genocide, occupation, and apartheid?
We joined 3,700+ nonprofits who've signed a powerful letter condemning the Trump administration’s illegal attacks on civil society. We will not be intimidated or silenced.

“Palestinians are being intentionally starved to death. Although signs of the coming horrors were clear within months of the war’s onset, many governments averted their eyes. Now, they are failing in their duty to prevent and stop a genocide.”

Wow: 1/4 of US senators now oppose more American weapons to Israel.
Context: until 9 months ago Congress had *never* voted on blocking weapons to Israel.

"Iran doesn't have nukes. Israel does.
Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn't.
Israel has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country. Israel doesn't."
But Israel is the victim? My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmal & ridiculously biased.

Tanks being moved into DC. National guard being mobilized in LA. Paramilitary thugs being unleashed across America. It's summer in America in fascism is in full bloom.
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

State Department Plans to Launch ‘Office of Remigration.’
The idea of “remigration” has a troubling history; it originally comes from far-right, neo-Nazi circles in Europe and is typically used to advocate for the forced removal of migrants. www.thehandbasket.co/p/state-depa...
What an incredibly dangerous, evil fkn moron.
I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea

If there isn't a cost for the Trump administration defying this judge’s order, Bondi and co will just defy other judge's orders. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/n...
Defense acquisition needs an overhaul, but this is another play by Trump to profit off of picking who wins and loses federal largesse, this time for big military bucks.
The MAGA ideology is a fascist fantasy to hype up rubes—his real game has always been the grift.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
1) Do something autocratic
2) Wait to see how people react
3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on
4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it
5) Illegally consolidate more power
6) Repeat
BREAKING: The Trump administration will begin screening immigrants’ social media for “antisemitism.”
This will NOT fight antisemitism.
This is simply using Jews as an excuse to move a cruel, anti-immigrant, authoritarian agenda.
We refuse to be used this way.

Elon Musk's social media platform X has suspended several accounts belonging to opposition figures in Turkey amid widespread civil unrest in the country.
White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people aren’t supreme.
Kenneth Stern, one of the drafters of the IHRA definition of antisemitism used by the Trump administration, says the Trump administration's approach to campus antisemitism is making Jewish students less safe: www.npr.org/2025/03/20/n...
