JUST IN: ICE blocked a hospital entrance for TWO HOURS, preventing ambulances to enter the hospital and placing patients and staff in jeopardy. What happened in Boyle Heights is not only dangerous – it is another reason why we need guardrails that prevent ICE from intimidating people at hospitals!

There are many challenges about Israel and Palestine that are complicated and fraught and difficult but surely we can all agree that repairing torn tents and helping people to dry out after flooding is a basic human obligation. Let’s help these people, because they are people.

When Republicans won they did not reach across the aisle, they kidnapped hardworking people off the streets and sent them to a concentration camp surrounded by alligators where they feed them maggot infested food and laughed about it.

The meat industry tries very hard to keep cameras out of factory farms and slaughterhouses -- and a new undercover video shows why. Some day, our descendants will wonder about our collective blind spot to animal cruelty. A gift link to my column: nytimes.com/2026/10/17/opini…

Israeli settlers are out of control, because the Israeli government allows them to be. And while attacks on diplomats or journalists command attention, as they should, this happens unnoticed to Palestinian farmers all the time.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Very sobering article suggesting that climate change and associated wild fires are causing the collapse of many Western forests; one study suggests that by 2100, 40% of Western conifer forests will be replaced by shrubland (and poison oak). nytimes.com/2026/08/23/clima…
