Sheriff Bilal in Philly dragged the hell out of ICE & pledged to arrest agents who commit crimes in Philly yesterday. It wasn’t just Krasner talking.

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell.

In Canada, call or email Evan Solomon and demand he do his job as “Minister of AI and Digital innovation” to stop the CSAM and non-consensual porn. X should be banned in this country.

Here is a template letter, with alt text for copy-pasting, to send to your state AG, or tweak to send to your reps, etc. It will take two minutes. Find their contact here: www.naag.org/find-my-ag/
![Dear [AG],
I'm curious what [State] is doing to combat this pervasive sexual harassment and abuse of primarily women and children:
https://defector.com/whos-responsible-for-elon-musks-idiot-chatbot-producing-on-demand-child-sexual-abuse-material
https://futurism.com/future-society/grok-violence-women
The industrial-scale generation and distribution of revenge porn and CSAM on Twitter/X is blatantly criminal by all involved, and in violation of both state and federal law.
I hope to see serious charges announced against Elon, Twitter/X management, Grok developers, and any individual users publicly sharing images of [State] residents. Anything less is tacit approval to continue this monstrous, illegal spree.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qnjqnno3fftf2wj4xfkxpt32/bafkreiefbqpox4q2s4vgdigpitfmoh73yxeljh6cogy3x2mmnesqeeqzri@jpeg)

i’m not even saying that they would never be paid - only withheld until such time as fraud concerns can be put to rest. this seems reasonable
are blue states within their rights to freeze paying federal taxes citing a similar concern
The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."

5 Democratic-run states are told that their child care funds have been frozen
The suspension of the funds could hurt low-income families in those states, depending on how long it lasts, advocates say.

I’ve had porn deepfakes made of me since long before genAI existed, and am (sadly) very unphased by it at this point, but I do strongly agree with this sentiment.
These men don’t do it to jerk off to - they do it as a means of ‘digital rape’. If anything, they jerk off to knowing you don’t consent.

He was of course a MAGA guy. The posts on his account that weren’t replies with AI porn of other women were barely literate Trump support.
The underlying point of the fake genAI nudes in his posts was not so that he could jerk off. One can do that quietly. His point was: “we can do this any time.”

Friendly reminder that Congress had enough phone calls coming in last February that it was actively causing the phone system to crash and they had to progressively work to upgrade it over several nights to ensure it could handle the call volume.
If enough people call, it disrupts the system.

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
