The European mind understands it perfectly. This is what imperial decadence looks like: public institutions converted into branded spectacle, civic memory replaced by adrenaline theater, and the People’s House turned into a content backdrop for regime propaganda. The joke is not that Europe cannot comprehend it. The joke is that America no longer recognizes what it is becoming.

You gotta be a really sick fuck to put your own name on a memorial to a person who was assassinated

Yes we will

This documentary is the single most inspiring thing I’ve seen in years. @DemocracyNow gets no media industry buzz, but considering the odds & money stacked against it & its enormous reach, it is the greatest media success story of this era — and it’s not particularly close.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Rep. Thomas Massie confirms Washington intentionally hid 28 pages of the 9/11 report. He reveals Saudi officials and spies directly helped the hijackers! The establishment kept this secret and blocked victims from suing to protect foreign allies. Treason!

It’s done! Trump’s name has been YEETED from the Kennedy Center like the failed grifter he is. No more pretending he belongs anywhere near JFK’s legacy. Bye, Donnie. Don’t let the tarp hit your ass on the way out. 🇺🇸

Trumpian censorship in the UK Teacher, librarians under pressure to remove books on race, identity, social justice from libraries. 200 titles pulled from one Greater Manchester school library, including books by Black authors. What are we becoming? runnymedetrust.org/blog/eras…

🚨MUST WATCH: 5 minutes of raw footage from the USS Liberty survivors’ meeting with @RepThomasMassie and one of them drops this bombshell: “You’re the first human in our lives who’s been in the political arena to ever touch us.”

On this day in 1954, the US backed a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies.

I now have the pleasure of seeing this lovely sight from my dance studio window

Tomorrow, the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music (@SpringsteenCAM) opens to the public on the campus of New Jersey's Monmouth University. The new facility houses Springsteen's archives while also telling the broader story of American music through artifacts and exhibits. @GeoffRBennett sat down with "The Boss" himself ahead of the opening.

Hier, le CEO d'Anthropic (Claude) a publié un essai sur l'avenir de l'IA. Il demande l'aide du gouvernement américain. Dedans, tout le monde retient le fait qu'il demande plus de régulation. Mais le passage le plus fou, c'est ça : il prévient que l'IA trouvera des remèdes médicaux qui arriveront plus vite que les États ne peuvent les approuver..... ! Voici ce que je retiens de son essai : 1. Le timing n'est pas anodin. Il sort 24h après le lancement de Claude Fable 5, leur modèle le plus puissant. Traduction : "voilà ce qu'on sait construire, et voilà ce qui arrive ensuite." 2. Sa prédiction centrale. Si les lois d'échelle tiennent encore 1 à 2 ans, on obtient ce qu'il appelle "un pays de génies dans un datacenter". C'est un horizon court, assumé publiquement. 3. Le passage sur la médecine. Aujourd'hui, un médicament met 7 à 8 ans à passer la FDA ou l'EMA. Amodei prédit des traitements pour des maladies jamais soignées, et des résultats tellement bons que les agences refuseront d'y croire. Sa demande, c'est de réformer les agences maintenant, avant qu'elles ne deviennent le goulot d'étranglement. Lisez bien. Le problème ne serait plus de trouver des remèdes. Ce serait de les approuver assez vite. Sacré optimisme, mais connaissant bien l'IA, ce n'est pas impossible. 4. L'économie. Il prédit des entreprises milliardaires créées par une seule personne. Et affirme qu'on voit déjà des équipes de quelques personnes générer des centaines de millions de revenus. 5. La partie qui fâche. Il appelle à une coalition de démocraties autour de l'IA : partager les puces entre alliés, les refuser aux adversaires, coordonner les régulations. Je recommande la lecture. Pendant que le débat français se demande encore si l'IA est une bulle, le PDG du labo le plus prudent du secteur prévient déjà de l'accélération.

Holy shit! French officials are saying that they believe an Israeli firm was used to interfere in the 2025 Municipal election in New York City, presumably in an attempt to stop Zohran Mamdani

Marking the 59th anniversary of the USS Liberty attack, Representative Thomas Massie addressed the House, asserting that the strike was intentional and urging a thorough, independent investigation into what happened.

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

"Brazilian President Lula da Silva shakes the foundations of Israel's political entities: 'I say it with complete clarity: Israel's Prime Minister is committing genocide against women and children in Gaza!' 🔥🇧🇷🇵🇸"

On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.

A US group founded to “enhance Israel’s image” & staffed by ex-Israeli officials (including Netanyahu’s negotiator who got US to send $3.8B per year to Israel) is revealed to have helped blueprint the new Republican push to fuse the Israeli & US militaries.zeteo.com/p/trump-fdd-iran-w…

The Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on the U.S. to the highest level and AIPAC is openly cheering Republicans for section 224 in the NDAA that merges our military with Israel’s military. Our government is being captured. x.com/aipac/status/206288598…

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Republicans and Democrats just UNITED to push deeper US military integration with Israel Ro Khanna: “Now let me just be clear, Mr. Netanyahu actually wrote to a member of Congress to put this section 224 into the bill.” The House voted on Section 224 of the NDAA, a measure expanding US Israeli military cooperation, especially on CYBERWEAPONS. Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Sarah Jacobs tried to remove it. They LOST. Almost the entire House backed the measure.
