Thought this was a fully real headline for a solid minute
Trump’s civilian killings, near destruction of NATO, and ties to pedophilia threaten to drop him below 95% approval among Republicans.

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it.
Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior.
Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

This is complete bullshit, and it's a criminal administration's transparent effort to cover up a crime.

I have never witnessed VA staff put an American Flag over the body of a terrorist and seen people salute as it was taken down the hall.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
