This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

COYOTE First Aid Kit: How to Compassionately Respond to an Overdose Naloxone, rescue breathing, and 911: Learn the do's, don'ts, and best practices for reversing an overdose.

Anyone can reverse an overdose, and we should all know how. Naloxone is a social intervention; while our public health systems are woefully inadequate, and the war on drugs continues unchecked, we can empower ourselves and one another to step up.

All the tawdry details aside, between Nuzzi’s ethical lapses, the revelations from the Epstein emails of journalists withholding information, and Trump’s continued degradation of the press, what’s been reinforced is a crisis of elite control of journalism and of profound rot. That rot appears in journalists in different forms: debasing themselves at the feet of power because it’s rewarded; allowing themselves to be debased by the powerful to maintain status and access; and identifying more with their powerful subjects than regular people because they believe it will insulate them from retribution. Each scenario reinforces how people behave differently under crumbling institutions than in a stable democracy: As rot spreads across journalism, politics, academia, law, and more, achieving success has become more of a riddle than a road map.

So fucked up

This thread on Christian nationalism highlights the work of journalists like @katherinestewart.bsky.social and @jeffsharlet.bsky.social who tried to warn us.

Two Weeks of Surveillance Footage From ICE Detention Center ‘Irretrievably Destroyed’ "Defendants have indicated that some video between October 19, 2025 and October 31, 2025 has been irretrievably destroyed and therefore cannot be produced on an expedited basis or at all."

Nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from the Broadview ICE Detention Center has been "irretrievably destroyed" and cannot be produced as evidence in a lawsuit against the government over abhorrent conditions there:

What the data says about food stamps in the U.S. On average, 42.4 million people in 22.7 million households received monthly SNAP benefits through the first eight months of the 2025 fiscal year.

Interesting SNAP numbers here from @pewresearch.org: Approximately 50% of recipients are younger than 18 or older than 65, and 61% are white. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

“They’re trying to somehow tie President Trump to the scandal”

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

Contractor Paying Random People $300 to Physically Track Immigrants for ICE “The more I listened to it, the more I’m like, something doesn’t sound right,” a person who was briefed on the pilot plans told 404 Media.

New from 404 Media: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. Spoke to people briefed on plans. This isn't licensed PIs/bounty hunters. These are just former police/military; members of public

Instagram is hosting a thriving neo-Nazi marketplace. Influencers like Hayden McDougall and Dylan Shane push Nazi imagery and extremist merch to massive audiences — content that violates Meta’s own rules. The platform isn’t just failing to stop it; it’s enabling extremist propaganda to scale.

Western aid cuts could cause 22.6 million deaths, researchers say More than 22 million people, many of them children, could die preventable deaths by 2030 due to aid cuts by the United States and European countries, new research said Monday.

Global north aid cuts will lead to 22.6 million deaths by 2030, including 5.4 million children under five

This is the single most destructive, wantonly cruel policy we've enacted in a long time. 10 million parents will watch their babies die needlessly

Speaking of Larry Summers, this is from a memo that went out under his name, actually written by Lant Pritchett, in 1991:

"I've always thought that underpopulated countries in Africa are vastly under-polluted…, Their air quality is probably vastly inefficiently low…."

I think it's always helpful to do a roundup of who to call instead of police -- for example, when someone's going through a mental health episode, etc.

Introducing COYOTE's First Aid Kit A how-to guide to surviving in the Bay Area.

Even when @coyotemedia.org was just a little baby pup of an idea I knew I wanted service journalism to be a major part of it. Today I'm thrilled to introduce our First Aid Kit: an acknowledgement of today's challenges, and a rejection of despair.

These articles always depend on a bizarre Schroedinger's Seattle: The city is falling apart due to progressive overreach but we should have re-elected the conservative non-socialist who has been in charge for the last four years.

Families of DC-area immigrant drivers snatched by feds stuck with tow bill Elected officials and activists note work vehicles removed lightning fast, resulting in hundreds in fees.

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill.

@melbuer.bsky.social reports:

Proud to share that @coyotemedia.org is launching First Aid Kit, our ✨paywall-free✨ series that helps you navigate the many challenges of living in the Bay Area and beyond.

These stories are a part of our pledge to share critical information during this time of upheaval. ❤️‍🩹

This is the dystopian bullshit so many of us feared. It's not coming, it's here.
