I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

NEW: A judge appointed by George W. Bush accused the Trump administration of an attack on truth itself by removing slavery exhibits in Philly. “An agency ... cannot arbitrarily decide what is true, based on its own whims or the whims of the new leadership,” w/ @joshgerstein politico.com/news/2026/02/1…

My father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke boldly about jobs, wages, and poverty. He made it clear that racial justice and economic justice cannot be separated. That truth still challenges us today. Economic inequity is not just a policy issue. It is a moral issue that shapes dignity, opportunity, and trust in our democracy. At The King Center, we continue to lift up this unfinished work and equip people to address economic injustice through the practice of nonviolence and the pursuit of the Beloved Community. #TheKingCenter #BelovedCommunity #MLK

Also, Toni Morrison taught us: the function of racism is distraction. There will always be another thing and another. We’re not gonna take your sh*t but we’re also gonna stay focused and keep fighting since we know Trump wants the distraction from his corrupt inept admin.

That knuckledragging racist in the White House hates us because he ain’t us. A man so mediocre can’t fathom the amount of Black excellence we cary. He’s not fit to be in forever POTUS & FLOTUS’ presence. He can’t dim their light or extinguish ours - no matter how he tries.

The slogan adopted by Bezos’s @washingtonpost in Trump’s first term was “Democracy dies in darkness.” Given what Bezos and Lewis did today, the Washington Post is complicit in killing it.

Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist" mississippitoday.org/2026/02/05/med…

Marylanders expect our leaders to fight back like democracy is on the line—because it is. And we want a map that reflects that. Maryland Senators need to step up and DEMAND that Senate President Ferguson allow a vote to pass the maps NOW.

It is time for the Maryland Senate to act! Donald Trump started this fight, demanding Republicans redraw districts to give him a Congress that consolidates his power and ability to keep harming the American people. We can’t just sit back and ignore the urgency of this moment.

ICE and Trump are ravaging the social contract and waging bloody war on the citizenry. The vast majority of the amendments in the Bill of Rights are being trampled right now in Minnesota. We need a nationwide political mobilization across the political spectrum to defend the 1st Amendment, the 2nd Amendment, all the way through to the 9th and 10th, and to revive the battered social contract.
