This was Abigail Jackson's response to outrage over the White House using AI to alter the arrest photo of Minnesota protester Nekima Levy Armstrong to make it appear she was crying.
I assume this means it's totally cool to use AI to make it appear like anyone in the administration is crying.

We have been rightly afraid of the threat of bad actors using AI to create disinformation.
It's appalling that one of the first of those bad actors is in the White House. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

For months, NYU's healthcare system in NYC was trying to get people to enroll in Amazon One and give the company biometric palmprint data.

In the 1870 census, Boise, Idaho was almost 50% Chinese. Just...think about that. Think about Boise, Idaho today and what you think about it racially.
What happened after that was, to put it bluntly, repeated violence against the Chinese population in the West.
