Political violence in polarized U.S. at its worst since 1970s
In contrast to the 1970s, much of today's political violence is aimed at people, not property. And most deadly attacks tracked by Reuters come from the right--such as a Trump fan who shot a neighbor.

New reporting from @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social, who got hold of internal standards for chatbot behavior at Meta.
“It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,” according to Meta’s “GenAI: Content Risk Standards.” The standards are used by Meta staff and contractors who build and train the company’s generative AI products, defining what they should and shouldn’t treat as permissible chatbot behavior. Meta said it struck that provision after Reuters inquired about the document earlier this month.
