1/ Six rich Texans gave $100M to a group called Texans for Lawsuit Reform. That 💰 built a brand new court system where judges are not elected, they are appointed by governor, specifically so corporations never have to face a jury of regular Texans again. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

“If Elon Musk ran the GPS system, you’d hear abt it nonstop, valorizing this great man who built something so remarkable and valuable. But since it’s govt invented, owned, and operated, it just works, quietly and without fanfare… that’s…ideology, not so much what you hear about, but what you don’t.”

A federal judge just found the President’s own lawsuit was filed in bad faith. He’s appealing anyway. There’s exactly one reason a man appeals a ruling about money he’s already given up.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

The Big Ugly Bill took food out of the mouths of hungry children — all so billionaires could get another tax break. But when politicians fail us, Texans show up for each other. Our campaign volunteered at a food pantry in West Dallas — because that’s what Texans do.

The usual lies from climate deniers like Matt Ridley. Part of a broader pattern of paltering by bad actors like Bjorn Lomborg who misleadingly merge managed croplands & plains (which have seen decreases) with forests. See: www.carbonbrief.org/factcheck-no...
Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they)There's a chart making the rounds of the right-wing disinformation-sphere, which supposedly shows a record low year for wildfires in Europe. In fact, it's highly misleading, mostly because @ourworldindata.org includes Russia (and thus all of Siberia) in their datasets about "Europe." 1/2

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
