"Trans rights are human rights" has never been more important than right now.

The Kansas GOP overrode the Governor's veto to enable this. If they can willfully do it to one group, they can do it to ANY group.

A lot of science fiction and shady government projects have been centered on “brainwashing” or getting people to do or say stuff that they wouldn’t normally.

Well, it’s here, and disinformation from right wing influencers is a huge component.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm

Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects.
Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

This is what has happened in LA. I rely on @lataco.bsky.social’s daily updates because even local news often fails to report kidnappings now. ICE has been taking our neighbors since *June* and sometimes I despair of people elsewhere knowing/caring.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:

In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.
