ProPublica and The Texas Tribune reviewed Ken Paxton's travel records dating back to 2015. Paxton has taken nearly 1,000 trips with a state-funded security detail, costing $3.3 million. The outlets could only connect 138 of those trips and $553,000 in security costs to actual state business.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

See this ICE agent? He’s a holding a *military assault rifle.* And according to a witness, that‘s the agent who shot a man **while the man was in his car with his 5-year-old kid.** Also, I’m no expert, but i’m pretty sure it’s bananas to hold your phone in one hand & your ASSAULT RIFLE in another

Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.

This article (and Slade's book) are fan fiction. Trumpism isn't a break from Reaganism, it's the intended result, a gov't by, for, and of corruption, lawlessness, racism, and misogyny. That's why Reaganites with power—Thomas, Alito, Kennedy, McConnell—worked hard to empower and entrench Trumpism.
