This is insanely dangerous. Memory is highly manipulable and inaccurate as is. In the hands of monsters (eg musk, oligarchs, the GOP)AI could and will be used to control thought through the all-too realistic creation of false memories of events and actions. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

washingtonpost.comScientists are finding AI may make us remember things that never happenedStudies show that artificial intelligence can distort memories, raising questions about what happens when machines become keepers of the past.

Toxic jealousy, Musk Madness, ICE Gestapo tactics, Criminal self-enrichment, USPS criminality, abusive lawsuits, blanket pardons, and more. Time to end this malignant madness. VOTE VOTE NOW Remove these monsters. Then, if we cannot imprison them, let's sue them into financial oblivion. #VOTEBLUE

Trump’s bid to steal a DC public park and turn it into an elitist golf course has been blocked. When many institutions kowtow to the dictator, federal district courts are holding the line.

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are on the case 👇- TN

The Trump regime has made the U.S. into a sad joke to the rest of the world. Slamming other cultures doesn’t change that.

TRUMP: “We didn’t start the war with Iran." LIAR! You illegally started the war on February 28 by assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader without Congressional approval. You even gave it a name: Operation Epic Fury. You said it would take 4–6 weeks. It’s been 8 months.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

When I heard that protester in Mississippi told that man to "shove that ballroom up your fat ass!" I felt that in my soul.

Why is Trump's DOJ refusing to release ALL of the Epstein files or prosecute the abusers identified in those files? Is it because the files keep implicating Trump? We need a special prosecutor to get to the truth.

🚨BREAKING: Judiciary Democrats’ report details mounting evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities and DOJ’s cover-up; specific accounts involving 11 women provide more evidence of potential sex crimes. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

Gary R Simonds reposted

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.

Amanda Marcotte@amandamarcotte.bsky.social

This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

NEW: I'm joining a coalition of AGs demanding answers from Meta for suspending the No Kings Coalition's Instagram during nationwide protests. Meta must protect legitimate political activity of its platforms. We won't let Big Tech censor activism ahead of Election Day.

THIS! No, the dems are not at all perfect. BUT - they are lightyears better than the evil, cruel, treasonous republicans. #VoteBlue #VoteBlueUpAndDownTicket #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

I have said it many times. Musk is the most dangerous person in the world. Arrest Seize his assets Nationalize his companies Deport or jail or both - maybe a floating jail or a new Devil's Island?? #traitormusk

Somehow the trump/gop outrages have knocked EPSTEIN out of the people's minds. Bring him back. So many pedophile rapists are running around out there. And even more pedophile rapist protectors. #EpsteinCase

So stop with the insanity. Stop the ICE Gestapo. Close the concentration camps. Treat ALL humans with kindness and dignity Well, not anyone in the trump regime.

We really need to strip him of all powers as soon as possible. He is clearly deteriorating into demented madness. He is a clear and present danger to the entire world. #voteblue

They filed this on the literal LAST day before the statute of limitations expired. Literally, the very last day. Give me a break. This is garbage.

The DOJ has a new criminal case against former FBI director James Comey, this time related to the transfer of national defense information in 2016 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“James Comey charged for a third time by the Trump administration” NBC reports that the case has played out under seal in DC since Oct, 5–and Comey hasn’t been indicted there. buff.ly/BypEFNv

Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms. I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.

White House Officials: Sir, we're getting crushed. The polls are grim. The early voting data is even worse. What can we do to win over the American people in this final week? Trump: Charge Comey again!

Gary R Simonds reposted

I believe that DOJ has 30 days to get a grand jury indictment after charging on information unless Comey waived his right to a grand jury indictment, which I kind of doubt. That 30 days would expire 11/4. Is that correct @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @rparloff.bsky.social ?

BREAKING: The DOJ has charged JAMES COMEY (on information, no grand jury indictment) with violations of the ESPIONAGE ACT going back to 2016. They charged this exactly 10 years after they allege the "crime" occurred: equal to the statute of limitations. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
