"Agents stormed our restaurants in a show of force that went beyond anything reasonable or humane. They raided the heart of our business, tore through our spaces, and left behind a trail of fear, confusion, destruction. Our kitchens were flipped. Our walk-ins emptied. Food trashed. Doors broken."

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Folk artist uses ‘revolutionary’ storytelling to address political divide - The Independent Florida Alligator Grant Peeples is often accused of writing protest songs, but the feedback doesn’t discourage him. He doesn’t hesitate to tell people exactly what he’s passionate about.

This is an example where the problem is not so much the capabilities of LLMs as it is the fact that we have independently normalized a widespread culture of acceptable lying

Reminder, again, that, yes, while the DOGE-ing was juvenile & clueless, it is vitally important to remain focused on the fact that these people need to be arrested, prosecuted, & sent to jail for a very long time for illegally & unconstitutionally dismantling the federal government.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Here you can see a photojournalist thrown to the ground despite being obviously not interfering in any way. Another photojournaldit, Nick Stern, has his face bloodied. This is one of his first assignments back since needing weeks of medical care after covering protests in Paramount, CA
