The president of the USA shared an AI generated video of himself literally dumping shit on Americans.
If you'd read that sentence ten years ago, "AI generated" would have been the least far-fetched part.

Something I loved about today's #NoKings march: 10K people in downtown #SantaCruz on foot. At Abbott Square, the lunch spots were completely backed up w/ orders. Lulu Carpenter's cafe was sold out of pastries, & the good-natured staff were clearly having one of their busiest days ever.

The White House keeps saying this is about health care for immigrants.
That’s an OUTRIGHT LIE and a blatant attempt to distract you from the fact that they’re trying to increase ALL our premiums – no matter what insurance you have.

Trump says he's "entitled" to five more House seats in Texas, because he won the state in November. Let's ignore for a moment the fact that our republic does not work remotely like that, and pretend that he really is entitled to a delegation proportional to his victory...

Larry Perkins described this as "one of the prettiest songs I ever heard" and the duet by Terry Eldredge and Andrea Zonn definitely does it justice.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.
