Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Coverage flags contract line items that reference medical-waste management and incinerators, but journalists and analysts repeatedly note that medical-waste incineration is not the same as human cremation and that the “crematorium” framing escalates the claim beyond documented facts [2].

"Repeatedly", but only one citation, from a list of story titles for the The Thom Hartmann Radio & TV Program with no actual story. Just someone using Chatgpt in the comments because there was no story. Brilliant.

Several reputable outlets covering the broader story — and analysts cited therein — warned against treating the crematorium narrative as factual without clearer documentary proof [2] [3].

At least there's two links! But one is the same link from before. And the other is a PBS interview with a Washington Post reporter that at no point mentions anything to do with medical waste, incinerators or crematoriums, let alone warns anyone about factual framing.

Factually is an AI-powered research tool that helps people find reliable answers.

Uh-huh.

It's a truly insidious variety of the slop machine. This is arguably one of the worst use cases possible for an LLM.

Thanks for double checking, I didn't intend to spread LLM slop, my bad. I deleted the comment, and added the website to my blocklist.

The article from op does lacks appropriate sources. I hope a reliable outlet is working on fact-checking this.
