MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

This is really, deeply terrifying to me. Our information eco-system is already so polluted, not being able to trust visual information is a whole new hellscape. YES, to sophisticated consumers the video looks fake. But your aunt on Facebook or your teenage nephew are not!!
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.

He is just the loudest, sloppiest version of the same billionaire controlled presidency we have had for years, signing off on the war plans and giveaways they wrote a long time ago.

I wrote about reporters’ refusal to use “act of war,” “invasion” or “coup” when covering Trump’s brazen attacks on Venezuela, instead echoing WH-approved euphemisms, and the broader trend of our press dutifully giving Trump’s lawlessness the vague whiff of international legitimacy when it has none.
By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

Grok admitted creating CSAM. Once the FBI is taken back, they can decide whether existing laws should be enforced with the same vigor against X as they would be enforced against anyone else.

This wouldn’t fix anything for adults, but it’d be a step
“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.
