We’re in the golden era of AI slop on the internet, @cwarzel.bsky.social argues. “To live through this moment is to feel that some essential component of our shared humanity is being slowly leeched out of the world.”

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

It’s about to get ugly. Odds are millions are about to go hungry, starting at the end of this week. Our duty is not just to feed as many people as we can, but to organize, transform underlying conditions, beat fascism, and not allow this travesty to continue.

Millions are about to go hungry. We need to build power with them.
It's time to feed each other and organize for power at the same time

The president had a MRI but won't say why.
He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.
He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.
He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.
How is any of this ok?

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.
Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

When ICE comes to Philly it’s going to be brutal
Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.
