Packed with 30,000 artifacts of hate—ranging from the toys that conditioned generations to the relics that enforced segregation—Ferris State University’s brand-new $22 million Jim Crow Museum of Racist Imagery is now officially open. (cont.) www.theroot.com/from-racist-...

ChatGPT is adding the signatures of real New Yorker cartoonists to its AI-generated images. So far, I've found the signatures of more than 15 contributors. "It’s slop, and unlike the other slop that I’ve encountered, this is slop that’s pretending to be me." www.niemanlab.org/2026/10/chat...
Left: A cartoon generated by ChatGPT and signed with Emily Flake’s signature that was posted to a Reddit forum in June. Right: A real Emily Flake cartoon published in The New Yorker on August 20, 2026 and licensed via The Cartoon Bank.

1/ Mamdani. Piker. El-Sayed. Each faced a coordinated pile-on from MSM legacy outlets, right-wing media, & corporate & centrist Democrats. Each came out standing. The reason (IMO): a defense social network that didn't exist at this scale a few years ago 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

DHS reportedly collected data about anti-ICE protestors in Maine, uploading their photos and license plate numbers into a database. That database was built by Palantir — which may be the most dangerous corporation in America. Watch.

Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I think about MLK. He said this thing I always think about -- 'If your coalition is not uncomfortable, it's not big enough.' A lot of people wonder why I'm having this conversation with you. It's because there are people out there who I want to have a conversation with."

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, who tragically lost his 58-year-old mum and several family members to COVID-19 complications, continues advocating for vaccination. “I have asthma,” Towns said, highlighting his “high-risk status” while raising awareness of the non-mRNA NUVAXOVID vaccine.
A screenshot of a Forbes article titled "Karl-Anthony Towns Who Lost Mom To COVID-19 Talks Of Value Of Vaccine." The article is written by Bruce Y. Lee and shows a publication date from early October 2026. Below the headline, a photograph captures NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns sitting at a press conference microphone wearing a white New York Knicks jersey. He is looking forward with a serious expression against a blue backdrop covered in repeating logos for Chase and the New York Knicks. A caption below the photo identifies him as the Knicks center speaking at a recent Media Day.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

Every time Trump is asked about people struggling to pay rent, buy a home, afford groceries, health care and gas and he responds claiming this is the greatest economy ever and people on Wall Street are making tons of money speculating on AI, Republicans go down another point in the polls.
