If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

What pisses me off is that the AI bubble WILL fucking pop and drag the economy down with it and the industry will inevitably get bailed out, which is honestly such a great long con.
Here's why concerns about an AI bubble are bigger than ever
Tech companies are pouring billions into AI chips and data centers. Increasingly, they are relying on debt and risky tactics. Financial analysts are worried there's a bubble that will soon pop.

Pesticide exposure is a rampant problem in agriculture, and for child farmworkers, it's particularly dangerous!
Lax Oversight, Few Inspections Leave Child Farmworkers Exposed to Toxic Pesticides
Child laborers and other farmworkers in California are being exposed to toxic pesticides, in part because of splintered enforcement of safety regulations.

Pretty remarkable that Trump has installed someone on the Saudi dole — Jared Kushner collects millions in fees from the Saudis every year — in a key role for America's most sensitive and consequential foreign policy negotiations (Gaza, Ukraine), and it is largely TREATED AS A NON-STORY

Really not tracking the Ryan Lizza stuff (accidentally saw that gross "cheeks" comment).

But just a reminder: We spent much of the election last year distracted with these same people -- it wasn't the best use of our time.

For almost a year now, the Trump administration has insisted the new taxes, higher prices, market chaos, open cronyism, & aggressive deportations were needed to rebalance the economy to favor the American working class. Here's what Trump has achieved.

The House voted 230 to 176 to allow oil and gas companies to write a government report about why oil and gas refineries aren't making them enough money. Just trademark corruption.

And yet 25 Democrats voted for it.

It has now been confirmed that the US invaders that crossed into Mexico to illegally place DOD signs on Mexican territory were US military contractors (possibly Marines disguised as civilians), the US has yet to issue an apology but admits to the action calling it a "mistake."

Rep Al Green from Texas is reintroducing articles of Impeachment against the criminal Donald Trump.

Green tried earlier this year but all other reps were too chickenshit to back him. Support him this time. Call your reps & tell them to join him. #3E #EndImpunity

So Sen Kelly, are you ready to work on impeachment articles now?

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"
