Both Trump and Putin are overtly (not sure why FT went with “covert” here) backing this POS.
This is a very good approach.
(And I say approach, rather than outcome, because the headline goes a bit far. But still: well done Ukraine!!)

Trump quietly adds Erika Kirk to US Air Force Academy advisory board
More of the 4D chess the world has come to expect from him it seems

Mockler: I also find it very ironic that Republicans are so welcoming to any form of bigotry but the moment that bigotry is targeted towards them, they freak the hell out
Noem lent Melania Trump one of DHS’ luxury jets as an ‘insurance policy’ to protect her from spending backlash, report says
Jesus. Incredibly cruel.
It’s going to be very important that society finds a way to deliver a set of consequences to everyone responsible for this mess so that at least the next generation of these idiots won’t even think about trying it again
The problem with this “sacrifice for our freedom” language is that the Trump administration cannot articulate a single half-plausible reason it did this, didn’t bother to explain to the public it was starting a war in the first place, and has changed its explanation for why three times in a week.

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened
Before the U.S military seemingly blew up a girls elementary school in Iran killing dozens of children, the Trump administration got rid of a civilian protection program designed to avoid just this kind of incident.

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

Who gets to decide how AI is used at work?
Our latest blog from Alistair Stephenson of @domesticworkers.bsky.social argues for worker-powered AI governance so the people most affected by these systems help shape the rules.

Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
That seems a lot more like a story that was made up after the fact for the Australian public than a real thing that actually happened
I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.
I think it kind of sucks in that the defaults of the web have become at least two things that are fundamentally misaligned with how the underlying platform works.
we’re gonna need more handcuffs
At some point the original plan of having those things detonate inside a plane seems entirely plausible on a short to medium timeframe.
I have no words for how painfully, treasonously incompetent these idiots are. Might need to step back for a day or so. There’s only so much internal screaming one can do before something starts to break.
Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.
We explain political change using totally different causal models if we approve of outcome of not:
1. Change we like is organic, bottom-up genuine expression of public demand
2. Change we dislike is artificial, top-down result of manipulative elite
I’m calling this Motivated Causal Attribution
Y’all should talk to Dave Madden about this guy. He has some particularly incriminating stories as a first hand witness as far as I remember.
