Rand Paul is so often wrong, but when he’s right, he’s often really right.

I… did not realize that there were BYU connections to Project 2025.

This sucks. If even Mozilla is selling out, then we’re in a real bad place.

Free speech is genuinely important, but it’s hard to take the ideal seriously when its advocates twist it to mean something specific and self-serving.

Good read on the emptiness of recent Musk bluster.

I was not aware of this episode of history, and I feel more informed for it. It’s an example of where a Democratic president should be held to the same standard as Trump is being held right now—not out of any kind of whataboutism, but because both presidents crossed lines. In fact, “both” isn’t right here: Nixon comes out of this looking as bad as (if not worse than) Johnson.

It’s concerning to see private surveillance prop up public surveillance like this.

Interesting read on potential stakes of France’s presidential election.

This kind of article is why I read The Intercept—to give me fresh perspectives on important issues.

Yemen has been on my mind a lot since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but mostly because I’m belatedly realizing I haven’t been paying attention.

A wake up call and compelling story.

Something else to write representatives about.

Sobering read.

What a gut-wrenching story. Drone strikes are bad news.
