The way A.I. is being used to make it seem like Venezuelans are uniformly in support of Trump’s invasion should alarm us all

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted… And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

Dad of detained US tourist urges care on visa requirements Becky Burke, 28, has spent 10 days in a facility in Washington State and is desperate to come home.

I keeping seeing the ComicsBeat article about this being shared, but this BBC one has a lot more info about Becky Burke's situation.

Her standard backpacking "help with chores in exchange for accommodation" is why Canada denied her entry and forced her to turn around

The co-president says speaking against Putin’s interests is akin to treason.

So I guess that’s where we are now.

Almost $500 million in food is at risk of spoilage after USAID pause, report says A report from the USAID inspector general says that almost $500 million in food assistance is sitting in ports, ships and warehouses.

The millions in USAID food is STILL sitting at the Port of Houston. Trump fired the watchdogs reporting on this story, he doesn’t want Americans to see this debacle. Wasting millions on food already purchased is the epitome of wealthy entitlement #Voices4Victory

Trump’s FBI Purge Puts Vengeance Above the Law The president seeks to hollow out critical agencies and reward unqualified loyalists–like Kash Patel

“The number one qualification for working for the executive branch right now is unwavering loyalty to Trump.”

Norm Eisen & Public Citizen Co-President, Lisa Gilbert urge the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject Patel’s FBI Dir. nomination & investigate the reported purge of Jan 6 investigators.

The infuriating libel against trans helicopter pilot Jo Ellis is really getting to me. It's so patently false, but the misinformation continues to spread. The ways cognitive biases have been exploited to radicalize people against marginalized and vulnerable populations is so sinister.

None of us are cut out for this. This is not how things are supposed to be. However, here we are, so we have to do our own trimming I guess.

WATCH: Rep. Andy Ogles says he introduced a bill to let Trump annex Greenland because “we are the dominant predator”

Reagan’s GOP: 🇺🇸 = “shining city on a hill”

Today’s GOP: 🇺🇸 = “dominant predator”

Sounds about right.

Listen, the forecast is for a steady rain of shit with frequent bursts of crapstorms, so if you need to fill and set sandbags around your public awareness and are probably going to be needing to bail pretty much continuously just to keep unflooded, just know that we see you and you're fully legit.

A while back I learned something mindblowing about the geological history of the Mediterranean Sea, and I just can't get it out of my head.

Now I'm going to make it *your* problem too. Sorry.

Hang onto your hat. This is wild.

Washington Post: Finnish intelligence officials believe Eagle S rupture was an accident Retired army general and current MP Pekka Toveri dismissed the newspaper's report as "total B.S.".

As Suzy said, "What in the Russian propaganda?"

Be sure you read the last paragraph.
