" 'I love the smell of deportations in the morning...' "
Trump wrote on the conservative social media platform Truth Social,
alongside a doctored photo of himself depicted as
Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore from the Vietnam War film Apocalypse Now.
"Chicago [is] about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR," the post continued.
Trump threatened the city of Chicago on Saturday with the deportation of suspected undocumented immigr…
Now perhaps might be a good time for the reminder of a truth always obscured:
Black People (not Black "women" -- ALL BLACK PEOPLE - you have to watch how they do black men dirty here) are the practical always-voting correctly BASE of the Democratic party -- which in turn makes them the moral center of voting in America.

The initial story was bad enough: the Irish police service being so incompetent that their statistics on homicides were wildly incorrect, and the whistleblower getting penalised; but this is batshit.

The main reason I don’t use “big tech” LLMs is that they’re not optimized for telling the truth, they are—purposefully—primarily optimized to please you and be submissive to you, because this is what’s driving “engagement” and retention.
It doesn’t even matter if the palaver it generates is correct or not.

I was recently quoted as saying, about online media, that we can “change the global Internet conversation for the better, by making it harder for liars to lie and easier for truth-tellers to be believed.”
I thought I should offer details. So here’s a little scenario, the “Nadia story”, and an explanation of how to make it easier to tell when media is faked and when it’s real.

Given that Truth Social is a rogue mastodon fork, I would presume that it also is unable to easily comply with the Mississippi age verification law, so there’s that.
Adding another post. This one is a bit less polished, but I want to get it out. As things get harder for everyone, I'm seeing a greater tendency to want to grasp onto revolutionary fiction such as #Andor. I think there's value in that, but it has to come with an informed critique.
> We are so thirsty for hope that we will drink it up, even when that hope comes from a fiction and the truth behind the hope is poison. In Andor, we see the worst elements sacrifice themselves for some of the best. The revolution goes through a process of purification, the complicated elements weeding themselves out to make room for the simplified good, as the rebellion unifies. In reality, this tends to be the opposite how things actually work.
> [...]
> [The Urban Guerilla movement of the 60's through the 80's] centered militant revolution. In doing so, they omitted or cut themselves off from the logistic support needed to sustain such revolutionary activity. The trauma of carrying out violence further isolated and radicalized them. Lacking infrastructure for trauma healing, their decay escalated and became unrecoverable. Ultimately, their revolutionary movements both emulated and reinforced the status quo they were trying to resist.
> There emerges a strange historical parallel that is difficult to see from within the dominant paradigm. The competitive politics of electoralism derives from heroic competition, where people (typically men) compete (often violently) for control over a territory or people. Thus the insurrectionary enters into the very same competition as a challenger, not against the system of domination but for control over it. The success of the revolution, then, does not abolish the system of violent domination but changes rather replaces its management.
> Many modern anarchists will be quick to point out the disconnect between ends and means. While authoritarian projects often assert that "the ends justify the means," and Andor implies the same, anti-authoritarian projects assert the ends and the means are not only united but are, in fact, the same.
This is still very much something I'm actively editing, but I'd still love feedback to help me refine it to it's final form. Typo catches and clarifying questions welcome.
