This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.
Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

We don’t know who needs to hear this, but the flu is getting out of hand. And we needed to make a post about it. Here are our pretty direct thoughts, because sometimes our social media manager/infographic designer is tired & can’t think of a way to put it more gently. Please make good choices. (1/2)

Gonna be a bit pedantic here.
I know everyone says, ICE did the murder.
But good reason to believe it was part of an elite goon squad that works for Greg Bovino, who has been involved in MANY of the abuse of force, and he reports to Stephen Miller.

"The issues" are not immutable. Americans do not come out of the womb arguing about trans girls in Division III volleyball.
The issues are what you make them. The issues are what you're loudest about.
Create the conversation around these murderers' war crimes, don't equivocate, and don't let up.

And, you can also change the narrative yourself, by leading the public. Public pressure absolutely moves politicians. Sitting around waiting for others to take this seriously is failing. Making something the story and making the public care about it is the job of a politician.
IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

One of the reasons why I go so hard on science misinformation/disinformation, is that as a working scientist it is frustrating to see your research misreported to push an agenda.
For example, consider this piece of right-wing propaganda from The Telegraph that was just published

Everyone is talking about how bad the flu is.
Media & healthcare facilities are pleading with people to get their flu shot.
To stay home when sick.
To wash their hands.
Very few are recommending masks. When we had mask mandates we eliminated an entire flu strain.
