Many Hispanic voters heard secure the border and deport violent criminals. What they got was cruelty to: workers, parents, grandparents, children, longtime residents and people with no criminal conviction. This is buyer’s remorse on an epic scale. #LetsGetVoteReady

BBC Breakfast airing Farage again as ’most attacked politician’ and his lies about being ‘refused’ protection - all without challenge. No politician should fear for their life, but sick of BBC pushing Refuk narrative without fact checking

The reason I know about it is they told me they "asked ChatGPT about my bullshit and it looks like you were right about part of it. I don't know why they've been lying to us." Unfortunately, they seemed to have settled on "Jews have taken them over." Now to make more factual claims!

Unpopular opinion: LLMs are generally deradicalizing people whose beliefs are based on pure propaganda. I've been watching this happen slowly with some people I care about. ChatGPT is one of the reasons they finally accept that the NRA, OAN, and NewsMax are lying to them.

Each election year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) takes extra steps to ensure ballots sent through the mail arrive at election offices on time. This year, it’s delaying those efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

USPS pushes back measures that ensure mail ballots arrive on time

“The shorter timeframe is noteworthy and I don’t know why they’re doing this,” Steve Hutkins, who writes for Save the Post Office, told Democracy Docket.
