This is how authoritarianism cements itself in power and crushes opposition, all while the eggheads debate if it's fascism or something else.

BREAKING via WSJ

The Trump administration is planning sweeping changes in criminal division at the IRS.

Full Story: on.wsj.com/3LbVFtK

The Trump administration is preparing sweeping changes at the Internal Revenue Service that would allow the agency to pursue criminal inquiries of left-leaning groups more easily, according to people familiar with the matter.
A senior IRS official involved in the effort has drawn up a list of potential targets that includes major Democratic donors, some of the people said.
The undertaking aims to install allies of President Trump at the IRS criminal-investigative division, or IRS-CI, to exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of IRS lawyers in criminal investigations, officials said. The proposed changes could open the door to politically motivated probes and are being driven by Gary Shapley, an adviser to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Even We Rate Dogs is writing anti-ICE screeds after they killed a dog for no reason entering someone's house to look for Anne Frank.

Rest In Power, Chop.

RIP Chop, fuck ICE
We Rate Dogs O
This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by
ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of
the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away
in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers. According to the family,
it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border
Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of
the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled
to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid
from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find
any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop 14/10

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

New — Donald Trump officially proclaims October 14, 2025 a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.

Comes as the Trump State Department targeted at least 6 people in the US, revoking their visas, for their speech on Kirk.

NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
FOR CHARLIE KIRK
Proclamations
October 14. 2025
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
On the afternoon of Wednesday, September 10, 2025, pure evil struck when the legendary Charlie Kirk was assassinated in broad daylight in a campus courtyard, triggering a groundswell of righteous fury all across our land. Today, our Nation honors the immortal memory of Charlie - a father, a husband, a Christian martyr, and a titan of the American conservative movement. We honor his life, we send our condolences to his beautiful family, and we pledge to advance the values for which he laid down his life.
Every day, Charlie devoted himself to a set of simple causes: Defending the truth, encouraging debate, and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was gracious and articulate beyond measure, always welcomed opposing perspectives, and never deviated from his noble goal of bridging our political, cultural, and philosophical divides.
As we mourn this extraordinary loss, my Administration will continue to do everything in its power to end this devastating wave of political violence. No civilized country can endure a culture where open debate is met with gunfire, the pursuit of truth is met with bloodshed, and love of country is met with seething hatred. In Charlie's absence, we are now tasked with continuing his mission of giving voice to our cherished American ideals with confidence and clarity. Like him, we must not flinch in the face of darkness and hostility - and we must never waver in speaking the truth with joyful and steadfast resolve.
Today, on what would have been his 32nd birthday, our Nation honors the loving memory of Charlie Kirk. We offer our condolences to his beautiful wife, Erika, and two precious children.
We call on every American to pray for peace in our public square. Above all, we renew our resolve to always defend our principles of truth, faith, and the open exchange of ideas.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRU…
