A major use-case for AI is reality destabilization.
This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

“Marco Rubio as a teenager made extra cash working for his late brother-in-law Orlando Cicilia. The business imported and sold exotic animals as a front for moving nearly a half million pounds of cocaine and marijuana.”
This is incredibly worth reading in light of what is happening now and the basis on which Trump and Rubio are pursuing charges against Maduro.

Why is Marco Rubio so hell-bent on making Iran-Contra again?

The people who most loudly complain "Why can't these immigrants just stay in their country???" are the same ones who most loudly celebrate American military and CIA interventionism in these countries to overthrow their governments.
And they lack the self awareness to understand their own hypocrisy.

The last of the communist regimes in Europe to fall was Albania (apart from the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union). Enver Hoxha had died in 1985 and though the party was mostly moribund at that point, they still had control over much of the press. Many didn’t know that the Berlin Wall fell.

The administration is rewriting SSDI rules to treat a 50-year-old manual laborer the same as a 20-year-old. This ignores physical reality and could deny benefits to 830,000 older workers who physically can’t retrain for desk jobs. This isn't reform; it's a robbery of earned benefits.

Under new Trump admin SSI rules, if a family lets a disabled loved one live with them to save money, the gov’t counts that as "income" and slashes their benefits by ~$300/mo. They are literally penalizing families for taking care of each other. 400k+ people will suffer. Cruelty is the point.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
