"Buy now, pay later" for rent is just the next frontier of predatory extraction.
It's a way of monetizing desperation: turning the basic human need for shelter into yet another fee-laden credit product that will hit the poorest tenants the hardest.

Recall that a district court wrote a lengthy and closely reasoned opinion blocking DOGE's access to sensitive SSA data after extensive briefing. The Fourth Circuit agreed. Then SCOTUS threw that out with no explanation in a two-page emergency order.

The utter cowardice and depravity of the Republicans in Congress and in the cabinet is shocking to behold. Are they really going to allow a corrupt, senile president to lead the country off a cliff while also violating the rights of Americans in every conceivable way? It sure looks like it.

I would also note: X has deleted a handful of these images. But the vast majority of them remain live on X today.
In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.
