In a new correspondence in nature, I argue that regulations should mandate data access for social media researchers: nature.com/articles/d4158…

1. I've found a large, AI-driven bot network on X which is posting in support of Trump in the US election. Thread.

This week Lori Trahan, @RepSherrill & Rep. Alma S. Adams, Ph.D. led DWC members in a letter to Secretary Cardona asking for clarity on how Title IX will apply to collegiate athlete pay. Women athletes deserve to be fairly compensated, just as Title IX intends. democraticwomenscaucus.house.gov/media/press-re…

Chairwoman Nita Lowey was my dear friend—courageous, humorous, tenacious, with a smile that lit up any room. A fierce negotiator, Nita was a trailblazer & the 1st woman to Chair the House Appropriations Committee. I’m heartbroken by this loss. Forever my Chairwoman.

Time to give up on this AI moratorium. It has major opposition on left & right, has nothing to do with taxes, & doesn't protect the public from companies. We can have innovation & consumer protection but not if our leaders in DC wave the white flag on industry oversight

I vividly remember watching it live on CNN and hearing Jake Tapper say something like "don't ever forget what you are watching right now because someday soon Trump and his sycophants will tell you it didn't actually happen."

What’s it called when a massive corporation can intentionally degrade the quality of its services without fear of losing users?

You have a First Amendment right to film law enforcement, in no small part because when you do, you might catch them doing something like—just spitballing here—abusing their power by making a not-so-veiled threat.

ICE and Homeland Security are lying, here is the video.

You can't claim to care about the First Amendment if you believe this. Treason is a capital offense. Imprisoning or executing people for their words is impossible to reconcile with any understanding of free speech. Incoherent and un-American.

What the fuck???

Do you hear yourself?? Your federal agents shot a man ten times and you’re complaining about their fucking lunch being interrupted?? What the fuck is wrong with you??

Absolutely insane chart and entirely self-inflicted. RFK Jr.'s legacy taking shape thebulwark.com/p/measles-come…

It’s a good day to revisit the message James Talarico shared right away in his campaign announcement:

Yesterday, a 14-year-old girl from Marlborough was detained by federal immigration agents. A child with no criminal history was taken into custody in an apparent overnight attempt to use her as a hostage to coerce her father into turning himself in for deportation. As a mother to

These are kids who went to school and never made it home. What happened is horrific and the American people deserve answers. That's why an investigation into this must be fast, impartial, and transparent. It's not enough to know why this happened. We need to know how they're
