Ossoff: They tried to put special needs kids in jail. And then when my investigation brought all this to light, when we held Senate hearings and exposed it all, instead of resigning, or at least leaping into action to fix it, state officials retreated into denial and PR and counterattack. Because foster kids don't have lobbyists or a super PAC. Neither do the women subjected to medical abuse in ICE detention. Neither do the female inmates sexually abused by the warden and the chaplain in their federal prison. Or the young military family neglected by the defense contractor with a fifty-year lease on privatized housing at Ft. Gordon. But they deserve leaders who see them and expose those who abuse them. And that’s exactly what I’ll keep doing.

As someone who has been tortured, had my family home stolen and watched my friends murdered by this Russian scum, this is incredibly hard to watch. Especially after serving under the UN blue beret myself. Sickening

This video clearly demonstrates what Russian kamikaze drones are made of. More than 90% of their components are Chinese, including the most critical one —the turbojet engine. China is supplying Russia with enormous quantities of these components.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

James Talarico: “I’m not just supposed to love my Christian neighbors. I don’t want the government forcing a religion down my throat so why would I do that to my Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Agnostic, Atheist neighbors? That’s not love. I think we need a Senator who is gonna confront Christian nationalism and do it not just on constitutional grounds, but on theological grounds. I will always stand up for the separation of church and state”

A story I read a long time ago, but I remembered Michael Douglas’s words almost exactly: “Dylan, you just encountered real antisemitism.” Summer 2014. A family vacation in Europe. Michael Douglas’s son comes back from the pool in tears. A stranger had yelled at him because the boy was wearing a chain with a Star of David around his neck. Douglas went down to the pool and dealt with the man. Then he sat down next to his son and said: “Dylan, you just encountered antisemitism for the first time.” For Douglas himself it was a very personal moment. His father, the legendary Kirk Douglas, was Jewish. His mother was not. And Michael himself grew up with almost no Jewish upbringing. It was Dylan — who at that time had started learning Hebrew and preparing for his bar mitzvah — who brought him back to his father’s Judaism. Later Douglas wrote: “Even if there are Jews who don’t consider me Jewish, I learned from my own bitter experience: the one who hates doesn’t make those distinctions.” Yesterday, September 25, Michael Douglas turned 82. All these years he has spoken out openly against turning Israel into an excuse for hatred of Jews. And he has called for fighting antisemitism wherever it appears. In 2015 he received the Genesis Prize in Jerusalem and donated the entire million dollars to projects that help mixed families grow closer to Judaism. Happy birthday, Michael! Until 120 ❤️🙏🇮🇱

While in New York for the UN General Assembly, I joined an interfaith event hosted by the Muslim World League (MWL), led by Secretary-General Sheikh Dr. Mohammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, focused on the intersection of AI, technology, faith, and tolerance. The speakers formed a mosaic across the three Abrahamic faiths, reflecting diversity within Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Present at the event were Sunni and Shia Muslims, Orthodox and Reform Jews, Catholic and Christian clergy, and many others with different social, national, and political backgrounds. My individual conversations with attendees confirmed a wide spectrum of views and beliefs; for example, some admired NYC Mayor Mamdani and what he represents, while others loathed him and rejected the movement around him. In addition to several other interesting sessions, Malala Yousafzai spoke about ‘gender apartheid’ in Afghanistan and the criminalization of girls’ education. Interfaith panels explored how AI can deepen religious divides while also democratizing access to religious texts and interpretive analysis. Senior UN officials and heads of multilateral organizations stressed the need to ensure that a collective push should be geared toward ensuring that artificial intelligence strengthens religious engagement, reform, tolerance, and learning, rather than accelerating the algorithmic cycles of hatred and division that dominate social media. The most important point, and the one worth highlighting, is that this room was full of people who disagreed on many issues, especially the Israel and Palestine conflict. I spoke with several attendees who held fundamentally different views, yet hundreds of people engaged across differences with respect, compassion, and sincerity. It was a reminder that social media is not the real world. The vitriol online obscures the fact that society still has the capacity to tackle hard topics and hold difficult conversations even without alignment or agreement on every single thorny issue. Whether it was the conservative imam who felt that Mamdani isn’t going far enough, or the Orthodox rabbi who described the real struggles and fears of his New York City community since October 7, both still chose to share the space, communicated across their differences, and recognized a shared responsibility to find common ground. That is the essence of radical pragmatism. The future of interfaith relations, exchanges, and communication across ethnic, national, and political communities is not about glossing over differences. It is about acknowledging that some disagreements will never be fully resolved while still committing to engagement, finding middle ground, and making progress on other topics and issues where alignment is possible. Get off social media and get out into the world. You might be pleasantly surprised.

The irony of farmers not understanding the term “you reap what you sow” is just wild.

Republicans deserve to lose everything.

Holy shit

Seems like there are a lot of crimes being conducted by AI companies tonight. The word “rogue” is the language the AI titans want you to use. Don’t buy it. They own this. I wrote last week for @theatlantic about crimes against the human species.

Ukraine been saying that North Korean soldiers captured by AFU are being sent to South Korea. Zelenskyy said this during his trip to UN. Now Russians are forced to keep North Koreans off the front line in fear that they may surrender en masse.. Legit Ukraine Master Class….🇺🇦
