"Food has for some time been a gateway to misinformation online, especially when bound up with ‘wellness’ culture. Type the word ‘natural’ in a search bar on any social media platform and it’s easy to fall down a raw milk/ginger-cures-cancer/antivaccine/'NATO is to blame for Russia invading Ukraine' conspiracy theory rabbit hole."

Byline Supplement · Against the Algorithm: How Big Tech and AI Slop Are Spoiling Cooking in the Social Media AgeBy Byline Supplement

Disappointed to see #Sheffield dairy farm Our Cow Molly buying into completely unsubstantiated right wing conspiracy theories about Bovaer. The video they've linked to takes safety issues when handling the raw substance and tries to conflate it to the far lower concentrations that go into the cattle feed. There's also no evidence that it ends up in the milk, or that it negatively affects milk yields.

They're also buying into the campaign wealthy landowners are mounting against Labour's removal of farmers' exemption from inheritance tax in a big way, with banners on display. Guess I'll be finding somewhere else to get my milk and ice cream.

The Washington Post · NIH to terminate or limit grants related to vaccine hesitancy and uptakeBy Carolyn Y. Johnson

Love to watch our fascist government weaponize already-existing American xenophobia and a 17+ month long, wholly mainstream and bipartisan campaign to conflate opposing a genocide with antisemitism and support for "terrorists," to construct an automated digital panopticon that absolutely *will* be used to hunt down anyone critical of the US regime regardless of whether or not they're "foreign" or "students" tho:

Scoop: State Dept. to use AI to revoke visas of foreign students who appear "pro-Hamas"

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio is launching an AI-fueled "Catch and Revoke" effort to cancel the visas of foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other designated terror groups, senior State Department officials tell Axios.

Why it matters: The effort — which includes AI-assisted reviews of tens of thousands of student visa holders' social media accounts — marks a dramatic escalation in the U.S. government's policing of foreign nationals' conduct and speech.

The reviews of social media accounts are particularly looking for evidence of alleged terrorist sympathies expressed after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, officials say.
Officials plan to examine internal databases to see whether any visa holders were arrested but allowed to stay in the country during the Biden administration.

They say they're also checking news reports of anti-Israel demonstrations and Jewish students' lawsuits that highlight foreign nationals allegedly engaged in antisemitic activity without consequence.
The State Department is working with the departments of Justice and Homeland Security in what one senior State official called a "whole of government and whole of authority approach."

I'll give Axios partial credit for at least *implying* that this is all fascist made up bullshit; but only partial because they didn't actually say it and like most mainstream media orgs that are at least pretending to oppose fascism, they're relying on readers to reed between the lines - a skill which most Americans simply do not posses if our political discourse is any indication.

So let's say it out loud for them:

The first thing you need to understand here is that Trump and the fascist movement have ALREADY defined ALL protest against Israel's genocide in Gaza as criminal in nature. Frankly, as far as I can tell, the Trump administration considers ALL protest a criminal activity, but they are particularly keen on prosecuting this viewpoint through attacks on anti-genocide protestors at American universities.

The second thing you need to understand is that this same fascist regime (and a significant portion of the American "centrist" establishment) have ALREADY defined opposing Israel's genocide in Gaza as being "pro-Hamas" and our government has officially labelled Hamas as a terrorist group, which unlocks a plethora of nightmare fascist enforcement and punishment options our governments installed in response to 9/11. Please keep in mind that whether you agree or disagree with the official designation of Hamas as a terrorist group is irrelevant, that's the law as presently constructed and you absolutely don't have to be pro-Hamas for these chucklefucks to say you are because you oppose facilitating a genocide and bombing fucking hospitals.

The third thing you need to understand here is that while the Trump regime is using foreign students as the thin end of the wedge to justify this war on free speech because Americans are xenophobic and their media has taught them to hate student protestors, the fact is that there is absolutely nothing stopping them from expanding their targets to include every American or person in America because we have laws and regulations on the books already that allow the US government to destroy your life and imprison you for supporting "terrorism" and they (and their fascist in-pocket judges) get to define what "supporting" and "terrorism" mean in this context. I mean I don't want to imply these folks give a shit about "rules" at all, but we've stupidly allowed the US government to essentially revoke our civil rights if they yell "terrorism" loud enough, legally.

Taken together then, all of that more or less indicates that the Trump administration is actively criminalizing opposition to American imperialism, criticism of American client states (particularly Israel,) and opposing a genocide. Pretending they might not MEAN to go that far like our media continues to do, is a very naïve position to take at this late a day and with the available evidence of how the Trump regime operates.

Finally, an aside - remember when I told you AI is literally "a fascism machine?" This is the kinda shit I meant; computers can't think and AI is garbage, but repression and violating the rights of millions of people, absolutely CAN be automated.

Tracy “Beanz” Diaz is a podcaster, YouTuber & writer & was one of the first people to discuss #QAnon on social media, posting her first video on the topic only 6 days after “Q” posted on 4chan for the first time in 2017. Now, Diaz says she will be serving as editor-in-chief for #MAHA Action, the 501(c)(4) [*#nonprofit*] affiliated w/ #RFKJr’s super #PAC, MAHA Alliance.

Intense public scrutiny of the case…resulted in #Epstein’s arrest in July 2019 on federal charges of #SexTrafficking minors. He pleaded not guilty & died 1 month later, incarcerated & awaiting trial.

His case remains an obsession for the #RightWing media, #Trump & allies. They have speculated w/o evidence that authorities engaged in a cover-up to protect famous Epstein contacts — who, acc/to #ConspiracyTheories, also participated in his crimes.

Continued thread

Bondi cautioned that some information would be held back to protect the >250 women & girls victimized by Epstein, but said there would be more releases to come.

Epstein, accused of sexually abusing hundreds of underage girls & young women over a decade, pleaded guilty to 2 felonies in Florida state court in 2008 in an unusual deal that allowed him to serve only 13 months in state jail.

By repealing the #EPA endangerment finding, the #Trump admin would be taking one of its most consequential steps yet to derail federal #climate efforts. In recent days, the admin has also blocked work that is central to international climate #research & barred federal scientists & diplomats from even attending a major climate event in China.

"It's true that action #movies are #fiction. But the thing about #fascist lies is that they are also fictions. A lot of fascism, as propaganda chief Goebbels was well aware, is making up stories. #ConspiracyTheories are absolutely central to #fascism for this very reason; it is a movement and an ideology which is built on convincing people that they are in an exciting narrative which requires them to commit acts of unspeakable #cruelty—for good."

Continued thread

"Fascists create #ConspiracyTheories —that is, narratives—in which certain groups ( #Jews, #trans people, #Black people) are framed as “bad guys” who have committed atrocities, violence, and cruelty. They amp up horror at the violence, and cultivate empathy for the innocent victims. Once they’ve done that, #cruelty directed at the “perpetrators” becomes righteous, satisfying, exciting, cathartic—just as in action movies."
