Elon's made it SO much worse but there was a bot problem on Twitter long before he bought it.
The constant AI push makes me think this is what big companies want the internet to become, this gibbering mess of inflated numbers to justify actions/investments nobody actually supports.

If you:
1) Can't make an action today
2) Have not-zero disposable income
Consider skipping your next Treat and chipping in to a bail or abortion fund, mutual aid in your locality, or whatever. It's a cliche but a little bit can go a long way.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

It's important to understand that centrists DO NOT ACTUALLY care about crime statistics EXCEPT as a way to weaponize them against particular groups of people.
One of the centrist talking points is electing a progressive mayor destroyed Chicago so New York shouldn't do the same. But by one of the centrist's main metrics (they talk about crime constantly) things are going better than usual under Brandon Johnson. news.wttw.com/2025/05/05/c...
Chicago’s Homicide Total in April Was Its Lowest of Any Month in a Decade
The 20 homicides recorded throughout the city last month were the fewest for any month in Chicago since February 2015 while marking the fewest for any April since 1962.

A whole lot of people got invested in the idea Donald’s stance that the War on Terror was bad because there were some limits on the amount of war crimes we’d sign off on and we halfway cared about building democracy is the same thing as him being anti-war. He’s just mad we weren’t evil enough.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
