REPORTAGE. "Nous sommes la vraie gauche" : en meeting pour les municipales à Paris, la candidate LFI Sophia Ch
Plus de 2 000 personnes étaient rassemblées, lundi soir, à la Maison de la mutualité pour une réunion publique de campagne de la tête de liste LFI dans la capitale.

Wonderful to have Dr. AnneMarie Mingo with us last week to deliver our Parks-King Lecture for 2026, titled "The Courage to Imagine Freedom." Here's a video of the event if you could not join us or you want to relive the moment.

Generative AI can’t magically reveal otherwise unknown truths. AI doesn’t have any idea what the lower half of the killer’s face looks, no more than my students knew what my unmasked face looked like.
What AI •can• do is generate a random plausible face that really looks like a face. It might even look like the face of a real person — a random, innocent person.
Sharing AI-generated unmasking photos is dangerous.

RESULT:
Democrat #Chasity #Martinez wins a special election for a legislative seat in Louisiana,
62% to 38%.
This was a district that Trump carried by 13% last year,
so a big overperformance by Dems,
but the seat was already Dem-held.

GOP failed to flip ANY Dem district in 2025 (Dems flipped a lot), & none in 2026 so far. This was as clear an opening as you can imagine. Big blow to Rs. This was one of the 20 races I identified as important to watch in February. Details: https://boltsmag.org/whats-on-the-ballot/february-2026-elections-guide/

Strong Majorities of Democrats & NYC Voters Support Gov. & Leg. Giving NYC Ability to Raise Income Tax on Its Residents Earning At Least $1M (Siena Research Institute)

FPS is the biggest available channel that I'm aware of to funnel Academi into ICE/CBP enforcement operations. The point of using FPS to support ICE agents is that FPS is stocked full of troops from EriK Prince's private army (now called "Academi" but formerly called "Blackwater"). This means that carrying out ethnic cleansing can dump money directly into the pockets of America's version of the Wagner Group (side from, of course GEO Group).
The Erik Prince angle also means that there can be an alternative chain of command that exists outside of official channels. ICE is already bad enough, but similar people have worked as mercenaries for a long time. Having an established chain of command over armed occupiers, one based entirely on economic incentives, one that can't be legally monitored or audited, one that's completely outside of the government, should be especially worrying.
I don't believe we've ever seen a clear explanation of who was kidnaping people off the streets, but I know that Academi had a contract (I believe with FPS) in Portland at the time. We also don't know who is on the ground in US cities right now, because they're wearing masks.
The bit reason J6 didn't go as planned is that Erik Prince wasn't behind it. Now there are troops with experience occupying American cities who can be called directly via Erik when Trump wants to make sure he doesn't lose again. And Erik won't back out at the last minute this time, because he's already seen that there will be no consequences for participating in a coup... if the time comes.

Have tidied up kwin_wayland patch to change the hardcoded gestures to sensible defaults, and I am working my way through implementing a file-based configuration interface for all possible inbuilt gestures that kwin_wayland can send. I'm not sure if this is all going to work thanks to Wayland's certifiably insane paranoid security model, but at least I should be able to let you decide how many fingers to swipe with what direction of swipe triggers a built-in gesture in the wm.

In Cuba now, lives being lost in hospital because no electricity, so, for example, can't ventilate a critically ill patient.

Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen, viewed as a potential 2028 presidential candidate, will unveil a plan that he says would ensure roughly half of all U.S. workers pay no federal income taxes.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland is expected to release the measure next week as Democratic lawmakers search for a sharp economic message to counter last year’s Republican tax law.

Under Van Hollen’s proposal, workers making at or below a “living wage”

Democrat’s plan would eliminate federal income taxes for half of U.S. workers
Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s tax relief plan could benefit tens of millions of middle-class workers, with a focus on those making at or below a living wage.
