The regime once swore he would never see his family in Maryland again. They were wrong. He's out and on his way home.

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #Mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I intend to stay on and continue to advise the new leadership and contribute, because Mastodon—and the fediverse—is one of the very few beacons of hope for a better web.

After sweeping losses for Republicans earlier this month, the Trump White House doubled down on denial: no inflation, a “Golden Age” economy, and nothing to see in the Epstein files. Such denials and major missteps have alienated voters, eroded support among Trump's own base, and sparked defections within the GOP. Trump's MAGA movement appears to be unraveling right in front of our eyes. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/maga-unraveling-trump-coalition

This thing that 404 is writing about in the US—the dehumanizing fake content created purely because Facebook pays people to make it?

https://www.404media.co/ai-generated-videos-of-ice-raids-are-wildly-viral-on-facebook/

It has a direct precedent in the Myanmar genocide and has been widely reported on for years. Karen Hao's work on this is outstanding:

AI-Generated Sora Videos of ICE Raids Are Wildly Viral on Facebook

An account is spamming horrific, dehumanizing videos of immigration enforcement because the Facebook algorithm is rewarding them for it.
