Hey @evansolomon.bsky.social . Perhaps you want to rethink the govt position about X. At the very least, officials shouldn't be on this platform
Some Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted.

The ‘put her in a bikini’ trend rapidly evolved into hundreds of thousands of requests to strip clothes from photos of women, horrifying those targeted

The indictment against Maduro is about cocaine. If we had an honest White House Press Corps, every press interview Trump did would start with why he pardoned a narco terrorist president who imported 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

Is Croatia Normalizing the Far Right in the Western Balkans?
The Croatian government appears to embrace far-right actions at home while undermining neighboring Bosnia's sovereignty and democracy.

I really don't get Doug Ford's cancellation of traffic cameras.
"It's a money grab by the municipalities" Yeah, sure, and I'm ok with that given the province doesn't properly fund cities and they need the funds! Plus you can avoid paying by going the speed limit!

Today marks 32 yrs since the destruction of Mostar’s Old Bridge by Croat nationalist forces under command of war criminal Praljak during the Bosnian War. One of the most grotesque acts of “culturcide” of the 20th century.

It appears increasingly likely the US will lift sanctions against Russian-backed Bosnian Serb secessionist Milorad Dodik in the coming days. It will be Dodik's crowning achievement after a decade of lobbying in the US, and a categorical reversal of Obama, Trump I, and Biden era policies.
