Nonetheless, I am drawn to consider how we might respond spiritually when our political atmosphere becomes unstable and morally disorienting. From a Buddhist perspective, this fragmentation of society reflects something deeper, which is the collective emotional forces shaping our societies. Ultimately, the Buddhist path asks for two commitments at once: compassion for all beings and fearlessness in naming harm. Compassion without truth becomes sentimentality, while truth without compassion becomes another form of violence. If we refuse the violence of the mind and the habits of cruelty, contempt, and dehumanization, we refuse the seed from which greater harm grows.

Mar 17, 2026 14:00:00Teenagers are suing xAI over Grok for creating child sexual abuse content. Furthermore, TechCrunch notes that Musk publicly advertised Grok's ability to generate sexual images and depict real people in revealing clothing, and that 'this will be a major point of contention in the lawsuit.' The second plaintiff claims that the police informed him that images containing sexual depictions of himself were generated by a third-party mobile app that used Grok. The plaintiff's lawyers argued that xAI is responsible for the problem because third-party use of Grok requires xAI's code and servers. Furthermore, they are seeking civil sanctions against xAI based on laws aimed at protecting sexually exploited children and preventing corporate negligence.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGAs the U.S. war with Iran drags on, much of the focus has been on a crucial waterway: the Strait of Hormuz.

It’s the latest attempt by the FCC chair to apply pressure on media companies that irritate Trump with critical coverage of his administration. Advertisement“Once again, this FCC pretends it has the power to control news coverage,” FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez said Monday in a statement. Gavin Newsom weighed in as well, posting, “If Trump doesn’t like your coverage of the war, his FCC will pull your broadcast license. At the height of the Watergate scandal in the 1970s, Richard Nixon’s allies attempted to challenge the TV licenses for three stations owned at the time by the Washington Post. As Gomez noted, Carr’s FCC only has regulatory control over the TV stations that carry the network signals.

- Majid Asgaripour/Wana News Agency/ReutersA week ago, President Donald Trump told Britain not to bother sending ships to the Middle East because he’d already won the Iran war.

Trump opened the war by telling Iranians he was giving them a once-in-a-lifetime chance to throw off repression. Domestically, there is likely to be skepticism outside Trump’s fiercely loyal base over predictions that the war will end within weeks.
