The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

FYI, I will be blocking any accounts I see sharing AI video. And I recommend others do the same.

Take it as a reminder/warning to check sources before you share a post.

In case you aren’t aware, any video you see with the label “Sora” is A.I. generated. It’s fake.

Do NOT make or share #AI videos. It contributes to misinformation, and to a larger culture of disrespect for truth and disregard of reality.

Plus it enriches capitalist techbros raping the planet.
