One major but subtle shift that really made me feel like we were entering "late-stage capitalism" was when people started calling themselves CONSUMERS instead of CUSTOMERS

Utter bananacrackers that Hegseth doubled down so hard on “we weren’t doing anything wrong, that guy’s a liar” Goldberg had to prove otherwise.
Such a backass stupid tactical decision that he should be yanked from Defense for this alone, let alone the crimes.

Does anyone else find this world fucked up that we’re getting election interference updates from the national park service? Clearly there are 10 other layers of gov’t protection that are not doing their job.

This level of manipulation is sickening!
Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

We are disappointed but not surprised that Meta has used millions of pirated books to develop its AI systems.
As a matter of urgency, Meta needs to compensate the rightsholders of all the works it has been exploiting.
But what can authors do? Read here:

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Dude was visiting his fiancé, who lives in Vegas. His English isn’t good so he misunderstood the border goons when they asked where he lives, he said Vegas, they took him away for questioning without a translator and now he’s been in a jail for two weeks.
A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S.
It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks.

Terrifying, but the reason why we need to take action in any way we can. Withhold money from big companies, shop local as much as possible. Repair things, buy second hand, don’t spend unless you have to. Really check if your money supports people that still have democracy at heart
Meet Trump's new best friend, Vladimir Putin.
At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption & violence.
In Putin's Russia, there is no freedom of speech. Protests are violently suppressed. Dissidents are murdered. And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.
