White House posts digitally altered image of woman arrested after ICE protest
Guardian analysis shows images are the same, with Nekima Levy Armstrong looking composed in original but sobbing after alteration
The White House posted a digitally altered image of a woman who was arrested on Thursday in a case touted by attorney general Pam Bondi, to make it seem as if she was dramatically crying, a Guardian analysis of the image has found.
The woman, Nekima Levy Armstrong, also appears to have darker skin in the altered image. Armstrong was one of three people arrested on Thursday in connection to a demonstration that disrupted church services in St Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. Demonstrators alleged that one of the pastors, David Easterwood, was the acting field director of the St Paul ICE office. Bondi announced the arrests on social media Thursday morning.

The idea that leading a legislative Jewish caucus and believing the state of Israel to be guilty of genocide are mutually exclusive is really noxious. We need to stop letting certain non-representative voices define all American Jewish politics. jewishinsider.com/2026/01/scot...

I dunno, man, I hate calling people evil and try to stick to the shit they do as being evil (for my sanity, not for them), but this is some fucked up to your soul shit. This is “taking selfies and souvenirs at the lynching“ evil.
There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

It has not been lost on me that the two preeminent contemporary uses of LLMs is the infinite generation of 1) CSAM and 2) media that serves no purpose other to publicly denigrate, humiliate, and dominate women and minorities.

A teacher at school sent everyone a message saying that the adorable 5 year old we saw taken and used as bait yesterday is one of hundreds, just that no one was organized and taking video in the early days of ICE in LA and that we will be hearing more and more stories about this tactic.
The ICE deaths we're not talking about
Trump's biggest concentration camp in Texas is rocked by 3 deaths in 33 days - one deemed 'homicide' after a violent encounter with guards. The ICE detention death rate is 10X (!!) Biden's final year

they're calling Elon Musk "CSAM Altman" folks,
In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

I can’t believe I’m saying this (and I still don’t own one myself), but if you’re American and trans, maybe buy a gun while you still can
1. New reporting indicates that the Trump administration may be making a change to federal forms that could function as a defacto gun ban for transgender Americans.
It would require assigned sex at birth on the forms, which could contradict their legal ID.

Is The Trump Administration Attempting A Backdoor Gun Ban For Trans Americans?
Reporting indicates that the Trump admin is considering requiring gun applicants list their "biological sex at birth," which could put them in a bureaucratic catch-22 if it does not match their ID.
