Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

Us: "Abolish ICE."

Everyone needs to be talking about this.
Y'all: Spaces are still available in my @newberrylibrary.bsky.social online seminar for this term! It's a discusson of Chicago poetry, from Sandburg and Brooks to our lucky city's contemporary poetry Renaissance: Coval, Olivarez, Marshall, and Ewing. Check it out: www.newberry.org/calendar/chi...
This is the dude who tried to snatch the "Black people are not apes" sign from Al Green, so things are about to get SUPER antiblack. Also, he is not very bright, so this appointment is a smuggler's dream.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
I like to imagine he has an upper-crust brother named Marquayne.
She wrote this from her car after finding out an hour after everyone else, and I think that's beautiful
Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.
oh my goodness she seems to think Special Envoy for the Shield is a real job
Letting Kristi Noem give a press conference before she realizes she’s fired is a pretty hardcore start to white history month
Quick reminder that everyone already knows her replacement will be as vile and dead inside as she is. It's ok to just...savor these moments. Let yourself have it. Let everyone have it. This is joy, and it doesn't last long. Don't make it shorter.

Fuck all of these fucking Nazis. “Indiana AG Todd Rokita has been compiling a list of his state’s trans people. Following in Kansas’ footsteps, he’s quietly laying the groundwork to declare their IDs “falsified records.”

He’s every bit the same deliberately ignorant nightmare person as she is, but at least she’s sad and abandoned lol, go sit in the gravel pit, puppykiller.
And it gets him out of the Senate.
Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.
Men: What a scary time for men this is.
Dot plot chart from the Pew Research Center titled "Women are more likely than men to say pornography is morally unacceptable." The chart shows the percentage of men and women in 22 countries who consider viewing pornography morally unacceptable, based on the Spring 2025 Global Attitudes Survey. In every country shown, women are more likely than men to hold this view. The gender gap ranges from +6 percentage points in Nigeria to +22 points in South Korea and Spain. Countries with the highest overall disapproval rates include Nigeria (82% men, 88% women), Indonesia (81% men, 90% women), and Mexico (53% men, 74% women). Countries with the lowest rates include Japan (13% men, 27% women), Germany (21% men, 36% women), and the Netherlands (20% men, 33% women). The U.S. shows 47% of men and 58% of women viewing pornography as morally wrong (the U.S. used the term "morally wrong" rather than "morally unacceptable"). Only statistically significant differences are shown. This question was not asked in India.
New survey from Pew Research seems to explain a hidden reason that Republicans have been attacking adult entertainment: It's their new women's outreach effort.
After school boards and trans sports have fizzled, they are trying to reach women by bashing porn. www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...
Judge summons officials. “...[federal] Judge Jeffrey Bryan demanded that Daniel Rosen, U.S. Attorney for Minnesota; David Fuller, acting chief of the U.S. Attorney’s office; and an ICE official appear in court... for ‘numerous unlawful violations of court orders’..." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."
Because fuck you that's why.
