ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM.
A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

NEW: A new USPS policy will eliminate evening mail pickups from select post offices across the country — a change that will eventually slow pick-up and delivery times for around 70% of zip codes in the U.S.
We mapped those zip codes to help you figure out whether your mail ballot could be affected👇

The Postal Service is slowing delivery. Will your mail ballot be affected?

The police said she lied about being raped. Then she hit record.

The political stakes are very high, but the political discourse is so repetitive and stupid that it’s hard to bear.
We’ve spent ten years dealing with this firehose of grandiosity and lies. It becomes mind-numbing.

The techno-dystopia I actually fear is a future where most people think truth is whatever Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok say, and the very small number of people who control those systems use that to manipulate for their own ends, making our current epistemic crisis seem small in comparison.
Dark thread.
Since we watched Musk literally push a "protect the Boers" button in real time with Grok, we now know people or companies could theoretically pay their way into putting a thumb on the scale for Grok/Claude/ChatGPT. This is why the AI stans want you to believe it's thinking

My campaign has held more than 600(*!) events in 110 cities across Michigan. From Escanaba to Eaton Rapids, I see the same thing. Too many places left behind, a rigged economy, and corrupt politicians.
