Still can't get over how Apple and Google removed the ICE app that alerted people that ICE was in the their community, but won't remove an app that has an AI tool that creates 'nonconsensual sexualized images of women and CHILDREN'
X’s Grok AI tool is being used to generate nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children. This is unacceptable. @wyden.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I are demanding that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores until Elon Musk addresses these heinous violations.
Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation practices,” three Democratic senators wrote to Apple’s and Google’s CEOs.

Less than 72 hours notice. 20° temps. Icy roads. 1,200 people showed up.

Northern Michigan, you proved our community's strength yesterday. We will not be intimidated into silence while the Constitution is attacked & lives are lost.

In Renee Good's name, thank you. You are hope. #ICEOUTFORGOOD

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

NO ONE spends years on a master plan for a coordinated take-over, dismantling, and take-down of the gov't. that spans thousands of pages, generated by hundreds of people, with accompanying tutorial videos and other tools for application and execution, spending millions...

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

I witnessed Bernie Bros bring this to fruition in 2016 and the same MF'ers found a reason to slam Kamala and do it again in 2024.

Michigan ain't what it used to be.

This is why they hate teachers too. They never forgave the first person who told them "no," and made them follow the same rules as everyone else.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

We're hearing reports of ice on the roads in Cheboygan and Emmet County today. M68 and other areas.

Be careful out there.

Across the country feminists are rising up to say ENOUGH. ICE murdered Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, and she wasn't the first to die by ICE's hands. We're taking action on January 10, on January 20, and every fucking week until they stop attacking our freedoms. Join us: https://bit.ly/4jBx7HU

The guys taunting these tools are beauty!
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five.

There are four lights.

This is not a post about Star Trek.

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear.

And most thought "grab'em by the pussy-gate" was the FINAL verbally abusive and disgusting straw to break the fever dream.
I’m sorry the decorum argument was dead ten fucking years ago when the entire republican party hitched themselves to mister “grab them by the pussy”
