These are former intelligence officers who have used the methods of analysis they used to evaluate other nation states, looking inward at the USA. They are sounding the alarms.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.
Just STOP deploying AI. If this one was “validated”, it was clearly not evaluated under the conditions it’s being used. (I use quotes bc I’m not an expert, and I’m not even sure one can effectively validate an AI for this use case.)

As a scientist I can attest that trusting dilettantes and apparatchiks is not a feature of science, it’s a feature of quackery and politics.
Along with the cost overruns, delays, and general controversy over the process at Savannah River Site, this move in the 45 (mis)administration coincided with interest in getting back to building warheads. But also why not sell the material to finance their nazi misventures?
The idea is to get reactors built and fueled. But this requires down-blending with uranium stock to make useful fissile material, like Mixed OXide (MOX) fuel. DOE cancelled their MOX plant and have converted it to a Pu pit plant.
Offering U.S. weapons grade plutonium to startups like Oklo is alarming. Lack of federal governance, staffing of the NRC with apparatchiks, and the under resourced security at private facilities vying for possession of fissile material, these potential contracts are a clear and present danger.
US furloughs 1,400 nuclear agency staff as shutdown drags on; opens weapons-grade plutonium access to private energy firms
The US nuclear weapons agency furloughed 1,400 employees due to the government shutdown, leaving under 400 on duty to maintain the nuclear arsenal. Simultaneously, the Department of Energy is offering...

“People in South Shore…starved for the attention of government, of anyone in power, for decades,” “…an especially cruel irony that, when such attention finally comes, it takes the form of hostile theater — making a spectacle out of beating up on poor people.”
Despicable, shameful, intolerable
Such violent rhetoric, let alone riots 🙄

Nonsense. Trump is making good on his promise to carve an extrajudicial system. Continuously giving voice to unscrupulous liars is not in the public interest. We need Sunday shows to extract truth, stop legitimizing. They won’t enact this initiative, because corporate is enmeshed with the regime.
The plan is not to put masses on trial. They aren’t concerned with laws. The plan is to divide, deport, loot, declare war on the people, starve them, & conquer the remainder. Project 2025 is the 1st stage. The next stage is the Dark Enlightenment.
But we won’t fall so easily. We need direct action.
Don’t answer their questions. It’s an unlawful stop if they demand this information in a compulsory manner. The simple refrain is
1. “Am I being detained?”
2. If not, “Am I free to go?”

Hope they can take this before a judge without added cost.
Every time they open their mouths, they are telling on themselves.

This is the antithesis of government of the People, by the People, and for the People. Let them hear us loudly tomorrow and until this corrupt regime falls. #NoKings #ReleaseTheFiles
Thank you for sharing this, Jack. There are a lot more of us ready to contribute, and those that are as active as they can be. It brings me hope.
