Judges are pro-government thugs (and we should never forget it!)

by Nathan Barton

“The biggest problem with the ‘justice system’ (judicial system) is that it is filled with lawyers. Including all but a very small number of judges. And a big part of that problem with judges is that they know what side their bread is buttered on. Their income, their working places, their prestige is all tied to the government apparat that pays for all of that. And that protects them personally. Let us look at three cases which illustrate that judges today are creatures of the State, of government.” (03/25/26)

The Stealing of America

by John Whitehead

“You’re not imagining it.

Everything costs more. Everything is monitored. Everything feels like it’s designed to take—from your wallet, your time, your freedom. That’s because it is. The government has turned everyday life into a revenue stream—funding endless wars, bloated agencies, surveillance systems, and profit-driven policing… all on your dime. You’re not just paying taxes. You’re paying to be watched. Paying to be policed. Paying to be controlled. This isn’t government. It’s a business model.” (03/25/26)

Government should expect no privacy

by Kent McManigal

“Privacy is important. Not because you have anything to hide, but because it’s no one’s business. Otherwise, let’s get rid of restroom doors, curtains, or anything else that might shield our activities from everyone else’s eyes. Companies that help government spy on people are doing wrong. Digital ID. Flock cameras. Age verification. TSA scanners. Government’s co-conspirators are not the good guys. Not all surveillance is a bad thing, though. You should know everything about anyone who holds a government office. At the same time, they shouldn’t be able to learn anything about you. As long as those offices are allowed to exist — and they shouldn’t be — the standard should be that while you hold any government job, your life is an open book.” (03/25/26)

“A jury has found Meta and Google liable for $3 million in damages [sic] on Wednesday, March 25 in a landmark trial over allegations that their popular social media apps, including Instagram and YouTube, are designed to get children addicted. The Los Angeles case centers on a 20-year-old woman, identified as Kaley G.M., who said she became addicted to Google’s YouTube and Meta’s Instagram at a young age. The jury found Google and Meta were negligent in the design of both apps and failed to warn about their dangers [sic]. … Kaley G.M. alleged in the case that she became addicted to social media apps as a teenager because of their attention-grabbing design, in turn worsening her mental health, according to court filings.” (03/25/26)

LLMs and SCOTUS

Source: Bet On It

“Once you acknowledge the truism that AI output is speech, almost all regulation of AI is ipso facto illegal. Government has no more legal right to regulate AI than it has to regulate the New York Times. Even if you’re a convinced doomer, you have to admit that the danger of existing LLMs is not ‘clear and present,’ much less ‘imminent.’ If the Supreme Court has an iota of consistency, the AI industry will be able — barring an anti-AI amendment to the Constitution — to fend off virtually all regulation with ease. Does the Supreme Court have an iota of consistency? Based on past performance, the jury is still out.” (03/25/26)

UK: Mullally enthroned as first female archbishop of Canterbury

Source: Al Jazeera [Qatari state media]

“Sarah Mullally has been formally installed as archbishop of Canterbury, marking the start of her public ministry as the first woman to lead the Church of England. The former nurse on Wednesday took her seat on the 13th-century Chair of St Augustine at Canterbury Cathedral before 2,000 guests that included heir to the British throne Prince William and his wife Catherine, as well as Prime Minister Keir Starmer and religious leaders. She will serve as the spiritual head of the global Anglican Communion, which has about 85 million members worldwide. … While Mullally’s appointment in October drew sharp criticism from the conservative Global Anglican Future Conference, made up largely of churches in Africa and Asia that oppose moves towards same-sex blessings and women’s leadership, the bloc this month abandoned earlier plans to appoint a parallel figurehead to rival Canterbury, opting instead to establish a new council.” (03/25/26)

The Problem Isn’t “Kings;” the Problem Is US Presidents

by Caitlin Johnstone

“There’s another giant ‘No Kings’ protest scheduled for this weekend, and right now all I can think about is how disgusting it is that this is the closest thing to a mass-scale antiwar protest in the United States right now. The problem with the ‘No Kings’ protests is right there in the title. They’re saying ‘We don’t want a king, we want a president!’ But Donald Trump is not a king. He is a president. And that’s the real problem: US presidents are extremely evil men who do extremely evil things. Donald Trump is a US president who is doing US president things. US presidents consistently murder people with unforgivable acts of mass military violence, mistreat immigrants and marginalized communities, and promote tyranny for the benefit of corrupting special interests in defense of the US empire and the capitalist status quo. That’s what their job is.” (03/25/26)

Drones from Russian airspace allegedly hit Estonian and Latvian territory

Source: euronews [EU]

“Drones coming from Russian airspace hit their territories, Latvian and Estonian authorities said on Wednesday. One drone ‘struck the chimney of the Auvere power plant’ in Estonia, the country’s internal security ISS said in a statement, while another fell on Latvian territory. The Auvere power plant, operated by the Enefit Power group, is located in northeastern Estonia, near the town of Narva on the Russian border. ‘These are the effects of Russia’s large-scale war of aggression,’ said ISS Director General Margo Palloson, expressing concern about ‘the occurrence of such incidents in the future.’ Prosecutors are supervising an investigation into the incident. Meanwhile, Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina said in a post on X that the drone that fell on Latvian territory was apparently Ukrainian.” (03/25/26)
