Oh my GOD. The song that Rudy Giuliani used in his anti-Zohran post is fucking AI-generated.
It's a song called "September 11, 2001" and it's from some AI slop factory called The Experience. You need to hear how bad this song is.

This isn't conspiracy theory. It's not hyperbole. It's a plain fact—visible right now, in real time—that hunger, homelessness, and economic precarity aren't just allowed to happen. They're actively inflicted.

Just so we're clear: This administration's blatant, unapologetic choice to deny food to 42 million people—to have the money sitting there and say, "No, we'll let them go hungry"—is simply a more overt display of why homelessness and poverty keep worsening in this country.

Folks like @patblanchfield.bsky.social have been saying for years that this was coming.
Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.
Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

"It's absolutely illegal." - you can absolutely feel the impotence through the screen.
Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
