Meta's AI discover feed is (still!) leaking user conversations with its AI. With its scale/import in shaping people's perception of reality, it is hard to think of a worse actor in the AI space than Meta, or to imagine a more invasive, user-hostile product than this

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Democratic leaders, please stop being hurt and get pissed off! Get mad! It's time to be angry and outraged so you make tougher decisions.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Watch this: the Federal Trade Commission was holding Amazon, Meta, and Tesla accountable.

Then:
- Amazon paid $40M for Melania's documentary
- Meta gave Trump $25M
- Musk gave Trump hundreds of millions

Now Trump is trying to illegally fire FTC commissioners.

Corruption.

Like the Epstein files, Trump releases the exact same JFK files Biden released in 2023. The fucking grift and con against the American people never ends. This was all just a diversion from the insidious shit the serial lying psychopath is actually doing, which is the ongoing Nazification of America.
