Generative AI psychosis and delusion is a real thing, as is the degradation of analytical skills. This increasingly makes conversations difficult with those who have "converted" to using it. Along with the clickbait-ification of everything and the adoption of predatory logarithms. Stay vigilant.

“Davis, and other defendants interviewed by the Guardian, are confident that the case against them will collapse. But the government is trying to send a signal, he said: “This isn’t just about us. It’s about trying to scare everybody who opposes ICE.””

For no other reason than cruelty, Trump is threatening to deport Haitians who are contributing to the Massachusetts economy. It's wrong. Congress should reinstate TPS protections, not let Trump rip people out of communities and send them into immediate danger.

GM CEO Mary Barra is introducing Trump at his rally. Something to keep in mind if you're in the market for a vehicle anytime soon.

This is Beau. He loves his small human. A little concerned about why he's being outlined like a crime scene victim. Deciding to give them the benefit of the doubt. 13/10 (TT: beaunosebones)

I am horrified by the brutal killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE earlier this week. Mr. Araujo had no convictions and had been living here for decades, working toward the American Dream. ICE has provided ZERO evidence and has lied to us again and again. We need answers.
