LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

The earnings went up because they laid people off. Stop using Amazon. You won’t miss it and you’ll save money.
Amazon shares closed down 3.2% on Thursday before its latest earnings report jolted the stock back up.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

They're demonizing SNAP and other recipients of federal aid on right wing media.
Of 21 million federal aid beneficiaries, ~70% work full-time and 39% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. Critics need to ask Amazon and Walmart why they won't pay enough for their employees to survive w/o food stamps.

ICE is traumatizing children with cruel immigration raids, then trying to strip them of their due process rights when they’re alone, without attorneys or family to help them.
Tell ICE to stop tormenting kids — and urge Congress to introduce legislation to protect these children.
