It really feels like one of the purposes of AI video is to get us to a point where no video we see on social media and no photograph can be trusted or assumed to be true, and we fully enter a post-truth world.

Truth is used to fight oligarchs, so they seek to destroy truth itself.

for me the greatest broken promise of america is the myth that this is a nation that grew great on the basis of struggle and science and learning and knowledge but nope it's just a bunch of rich white men who want to do eugenics.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

trump, having subverted the supreme court, is doing his best to erode congress's role as a coequal branch of government.

the rule of law was such an adorable idea we would try that again

Jonah Blank @jonahblank.bsky.social · 14d

More destructive lawlessness from the Supreme Court:
♦️Destructive: The $4 Billion looted from foreign aid could have saved tens of thousands of lives.
♦️Lawless: Congress-- not the president-- has the power to tax and spend. Congress ordered that these funds be spent on foreign aid.

Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney.bsky.social · 14d

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules 6-3 to allow Trump’s “pocket rescission” of $4 billion in foreign aid funding, ruling that it’s unlikely the groups suing have standing to pursue the claim and that Trump’s foreign policy power outweighs their purported harms.

Our national nightmare is over! Finally, after a long, terrifying, unjust seven years (2017-2024), white men (~29% of the population) are back to being a majority of new directors at S&P 500 companies.

Ah, it's so nice to allocate power, wealth, leadership, and opportunity based on "merit." 🎩🧐

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Laura Bassett @lebassett.bsky.social · 17d

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

"Democrats don't have a problem with Arabs and Muslims" versus "a Democratic senator from New York State immediately called the Muslim who won a mayoral primary a jihadist during a drunken rant on a radio show"

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 18d

It is very funny that Arabs and Muslims were told for a year that they had to swallow every single conceivable bitter pill and support a candidacy and a party that was sponsoring the murder of their families but suddenly a Muslim wins a primary and the two leaders of the DP can skirt around it.

Is Mamdani in danger of losing? If so he’s weak. (I don’t think he’s in danger of losing)

So why TF do ppl care if pols outside of NYC endorse him? This isn’t about helping him win, it’s wanting ppl to bend the knee*

*Schumer/Jeffries should endorse, nobody outside NYC needs to. It’s a local race

Charlie Kirk was a bigot, a fascist, a cartoon racist. Defending and honoring him means you agree with him, or you can’t read. This is my only comment.

semafor was a mistake
x.com/Playerinthga...

Ben Smith, editor in chief of Semafor, just said that “Mahmoud Khalil is in some ways less vulnerable than Jimmy Kimmel.” Chris Hayes brushed it off saying “well, he’s being deported but anyway, yeah.” I can’t believe I just watched this.

I see @karenattiah.bsky.social was fired for quoting Charlie Kirk’s own hateful words, which is a good metric of where America is as a society.
