In a ​new paper​, researchers argue that: “a primary cause of the rise in mental disorders [in youth] is a decline over decades in opportunities for children and teens to play, roam, and engage in other activities independent of direct oversight and control by adults.”

The media will call today “a few hundred protesters.” Don’t buy it. Minnesota shut down. Georgia walked out. Maine rose up. People marched in brutal conditions, less than 24 hours before a major winter storm, and still flooded the streets to reject ICE raids and Trump’s crackdown. These clips are just a small sample of what’s happening right now.

Watching kids mobilize against this regime is my favorite 😍😍😍

Gotta love the elderly!! 🥹 Cute & Silly!! 🤪

We found a troubling emergent behavior in LLM. 💬When LLMs compete for social media likes, they start making things up 🗳️When they compete for votes, they turn inflammatory/populist When optimized for audiences, LLMs inadvertently become misaligned—we call this Moloch’s Bargain

Imagine being eight years old and having to translate your parents’ arrest to masked feds. Cruel and disgusting spectacle organized for the entertainment of the wealthiest people on earth.

like toni morrison said,“sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. but the grandeur of life is that attempt. it’s not about that solution. it is about being as fearless as one can & behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances.”

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

getting a ton of hateful DMs for siding with the LA protestors, so let me make this super clear ❤️ i will never empathize with ICE. i would rather see 1 million torched Waymos than see another person dragged away in an unmarked car immigrants make America great

There’s something radically symbolic in these videos. Federal agents pulled from protecting against external threats to focusing inward against our own people, while long lines of armored vehicles head towards our nation’s capitol. The dark midnight of authoritarianism is here.

I have a brief story I want to tell about the Tech Right, the Trump administration, and immigration. In June 2024, Trump went on the All In podcast and said we should make it easier for international students who graduate from top US colleges to become citizens. "It's so sad when we lose people from Harvard" after they graduate, he said. "I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. That is going to end on day one." This was huge. Day one! Wow. The All In guys ate it up. Chamath goes: "That's fantastic." David Sacks: "That's great." Tech folks proclaimed Trump to be fully high-skill-immigration-pilled. Well, he's president now. And stapling green cards to diplomas isn't happening. What's happening instead? 1. Today, the Trump administration announced that it's illegal for Harvard to enroll foreign students and existing students have to transfer or face deportation. 2. The nominee for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director said he wants to end the US's single largest high-skill recruitment program, OPT, which is critical for helping foreign-born students stay in the country. 3. NIH funding YTD is down more than 50%, and more AI scientists are leaving the country than coming in.

“the bottom 60%” is so funny to me. i believe the word you’re looking for is “most”

Need this every time

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil—a green card holder and @Columbia grad student—is horrific. Protesting genocide isn't a crime, and you can't detain someone and revoke their legal status because you don't like their speech. That's not my opinion, it's central to the rule of law. dropsitenews.com/p/dhs-detains-…
