Taylor Schlitz: When the lines blur between influencers, deepfakes and actual news
Today, everything arrives in the same scroll. An ad, a meme, a breaking news story, a deepfake. No wonder Gen Z doesn't trust the news, Haley Taylor Schlitz writes.

If either happens we have three big questions to answer next: which cities will they try to lock down? How many do they THINK they can hold down with sufficiently regime-loyal forces? Any how many cities and states can they ACTUALLY lock down?

One woman said her father called in June to say he was going to be paroled after serving 20 years for car theft.
Then in September, she got another call: He was instead being transferred to await deportation.
It was the last time she heard from him.

you’re already ahead. stay with it. minneapolis stripped these forces of legitimacy (a battle other cities won’t have to repeat). remember they are completely outmanned. their only real advantage is their organizational capacity. out-organize them & the illusion of control will collapse.
I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.
