Stated simply: We don't find it newsworthy either, but it's our job to use talking points from one side and parrot them back to the other side. If not, we'll be accused of bias. (Also, my boss is Bari Weiss)

Trump's massive surveillance state and attacks on our civil liberties wouldn't have been possible without the PATRIOT Act.

It’s not suicide it is social murder. It is the result of policy that is explicitly designed to Inflict maximum pain & make a class of people feel as life isn’t worth living.
“A Haitian immigrant who had grown increasingly distraught after losing his protection from deportation and being outfitted with an ankle monitor was run over and killed Monday in what his family believes was a suicide.”

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to
@epi.org).
But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare.

Might be even worse.
The president doesn’t seem to care if it’s AI or not, nor see relevant distinction between real and fake. Narrative is all there is.
The White House is organized around this, acting as if fantasy narratives are real. And millions of Americans voted for reality TV over reality.

It's a pretty big fucking problem that no one can say for sure whether the President of the United States knows this is AI

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes.
Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich.
It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.
