BREAKING: NYC MAYOR MAMDANI ON IRAN WAR: We are speaking about a war that has killed thousands of civilians. We are spending tens of billions of dollars to kill people. Money that could be making life easier for working people. The things we’re told are unrealistic would cost a fraction of this war. We always seem to have money for war, but not to feed the poor.

I think it’s a bummer that our lives coincided with the rise of addictive technologies that steal the one finite human resource: our time being conscious & alive. Young people thinking about their future should prioritize creating a life that avoids these technologies. We don’t need this much information. We don’t need this much feedback. It serves nobody but the owners of the algorithms that amplify what they want you to see, read & hear — and shadowban what they want to suppress. Finding work and a lifestyle that has absolutely nothing to do with the attention economy is the smart life choice to avoid the mistakes many of my generation made. I’m proud of the work I’ve done and still do — and I try not to let attention economy considerations shape it. I think the work has value (though I experience enough personal insults every minute of every day to make me constantly question that assumption, and I often wonder if even participating in the attention economy inherently makes me complicit). But if I had a time machine, I think I’d go back and try to warn my young self about this — though I doubt I woulda listened because my young optimistic self would not have believed the future would be so dystopian. Attention is a finite resource — it’s your time being alive. Guard it. Use it wisely and intentionally. Don’t let it be stolen by those aiming to extract & monetize your cognition.

🚨 BREAKING: Thomas Massie says the DOJ deleted key Epstein Files before it could expose Israel and Mossad. This needs to go viral. We need answers.

🚨🇪🇸 Netanyahu is now THREATENING Spain: "Never forget the power outages and mysterious train accidents that happened right after Spain stood against Israel." He's saying they're going to carry out terrorist attacks within Spain. The world should take note of this.

Terrifying reality check. Prominent journalist Max Blumenthal reveals Netanyahu literally stormed the White House Situation Room, sat at the head of the table, and dictated the Iran war to a subservient Donald Trump. The President is taking direct orders from Israel!

If you try to tell this story to friends they will think you are insane

"The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953,) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen."

Khanna: "No. I'm not supporting new funding. The answer for every Democrat should be 'absolutely no.' It's $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that."

(🧵1/11) For the past year and a half, I've been investigating OpenAI and Sam Altman for @NewYorker. With my coauthor @andrewmarantz, I reviewed never-before-disclosed internal memos, obtained 200+ pages of documents related to a close colleague, including extensive private notes, and interviewed more than 100 people. OpenAI was founded on the premise that A.I. could be the most dangerous invention in human history—and that its C.E.O. would need to be a person of uncommon integrity. We lay out the most detailed account yet of why Altman was ousted out by board members and executives who came to believe he lacked that integrity, and ask: were they right to allege that he couldn't be trusted? A thread on some of of our findings:

Today's NYT report on Netanyahu and the Mossad running a White House Situation Room meeting in February to push Trump into war with Iran echoes my and @anyaparampil's June 21, 2025 report exposing the same dynamic: Israel controls Trump's policy on the region, and more

The man who coined the term genocide, Raphael Lemkin, defined it as a greater atrocity than mass murder explicitly because it involves the intentional killing of a civilization.

We’re just three people away from stopping Trump’s madman meltdown. Three. That’s the number of House Republicans who — if they chose to act — could change history. Right now. By demanding he step down, voting to impeach, or flipping control of the House.

Insane that a former president is tweeting about college sports while the current president is pledging genocide tonight at 8pm. The inanity of top Dems in a single tweet:

I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.
