  Jennifer Rubin: Standing up to AI oligarchs. "Only a few months ago, the political influence of #AI companies, boosted by the avalanche of dark-money operatives, was successfully fueling a mad rush to build energy-hungry #datacenters across the country. But then a remarkable popular surge in opposition, a grassroots movement demonstrating the limits of third-party dark money and the power of genuine local political engagement, began to take hold. #TheContrarian https://www.contrariannews...

  Ann Telnaes: Separation of Church & State: It protects everyone's right to worship- or not- as they choose. "The #Texas education board has approved a state-wide reading list for public school students which includes passages from the #Bible. This is the same state which passed a law allowing schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. I continue to be perplexed by people (usually Christians) who are intent on destroying the wall between #religion and state." https...

  "You can tax the rich or you can eat the rich. Rich people should prefer being taxed." — paraphrased what Adam Becker said at a book reading Juliana Kaplan: New York wants to tax empty second homes. Here's what happened in cities that tried it. NYC's proposed tax targets wealthy absentee owners, aiming to raise $500 million annually. #tax #NYC #NewYork #billionaires

  Jason Stanley: Why is the #US #media silent about Israel’s role in tRump’s decision to go to #war? I suspect the main reason they avoid criticizing Israel is that they believe that would be antisemitic. But this is both dangerous and wrong. "It is antisemitic to treat criticism of Israel’s foreign influence as antisemitic. But it is not just antisemitic - it also contributes substantially to antisemitism." #Israel #trump #antisemitism #Netanyahu #propaganda #censorship https:...

  Jennifer Rubin: Words & Phrases. We can agree #Iran has not agreed to anything. "tRmp lacks skills essential in high-stakes negotiation (grasp of details, understanding of what his opponent needs, appreciation of his opponent’s leverage, awareness of his limited military options, and patience). His equally ill-equipped negotiators—Steve #Witkoff and Jared #Kushner — seem hopelessly outmatched by the savvy, experienced Iranian negotiators." #trump #language #TheContrari...

  Brittany Allen: The #tRump administration is illegally gutting NASA’s largest research library. Meet the team fighting to save our scientific knowledge. "In the words of Colette Delawalla, the CEO of Stand Up For Science—an activist organization dedicated to defending and advancing America’s scientific ecosystem—the imminent purge is illegal. And tantamount to a 'modern day book burning.'" #science #NASA #libraries #books https://lithub.com/the-trump-administr...
