A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

This is a lovely message. You know what would be an even stronger way to support our neighbors currently at risk?

Call off the state police and make them answer for all the help they gave ICE in kidnapping and subsequently disappearing members of these communities.

So much happening in just a few sentences:

Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is. [Editor's note: Taylor was arrested and convicted of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]

This seems bad. Corpo cyber attack division when?

Job posted to linkedin thats a specially promoted job posting advertising a job paying $80/hr to be an AI Safety Specialist that is particularly knowledgable about red hat activities and psychological manipulation tactics. In bold, the business highlights their investors as being: Benchmark, General Catalyst, Peter Thiel, Adam D’Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey. This seems to imply they want people who know how to use AI to hack stuff and protect it from being hacked in return.

The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk was due to receive a $20M grant from the EPA that they were going to use for flood protection.

It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

A 15-year-old girl was assaulted while alerting her community about ICE raids. The Department of Homeland Security denies any involvement, ICE misrepresents the footage, and then continuously alters its narrative.
