Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D) is calling on Coloradans to turn out en masse for Oct 18 demonstrations against President Trump’s use of the military in American cities. “Don’t be afraid,” Weiser said. “Don’t be afraid to show up.” #copolitics

The federal government via ICE is now posting false AI slopaganda. Look at the thumb holding the sign and the letters "AI" under the person's feet. AI models don't really understand prompts like "make this not look like AI" and that's likely why those letters are there. We'd laugh but it's scary.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.
