Completely crazy-making to watch the Trump admin and their MAGA sycophants rewrite history in realtime - and reach millions with it - despite crystal clear video evidence that directly contradicts their narrative:
MAGA Is Already Rewriting the ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
The sanctioned government narrative of the Minneapolis shooting diverts wildly from video footage of the incident shared online.

I understand wanting to spend less time using a smartphone, but personally, I'm not interested in making my phone less capable in order to force that behavior. Brick devices, switching everything to grayscale — of course your phone is going to suck compared to other devices. Of course it's not fun

Every day, thousands of women and children are victimized by people on X using the Grok chatbot to generate scantily clad and naked photos of them.
It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

The curfew thing is obviously a pig-headed and counterproductive anti-youth measure in a city that already hates kids and families top to bottom. But why did nobody tell me he looks like that

Another liar. The ICE agents prevented a local physician from attending to her while she was slumped over in the car after being shot.
Sen. Lankford blatantly lies about what the video of Renee Good's killing shows: "A classic law enforcement moment -- they have to fire their weapon and then when you see her car crash, law enforcement is running to her to provide aid. They're never looking to be able to take a life of individuals."

Remember what Jethro Dickhead said last year: he's willing to lie and fabricate stories in order to get the wider public to discuss what he, Trump, et al. want us to discuss. Don't let him.
Vance: "If you're in Mpls, and you have a person who came to the US impoverished two months ago and all of the sudden they're driving a Mercedes or a Lamborghini, it is your job as a public official to ask how did that person get so rich so quickly when they're also collecting a welfare check."

Basic media literacy: there are multiple clips out there showing this shooting, mostly up close and unobstructed (except by the car itself). Trump’s social media post includes a clip from far away, through trees, and slowed to super slow motion.

im not gonna post the others here for obvious reason but the next ones in the thread go:

“The top donor to the Republican Party is running a company making sexual deepfakes, even of children.” Is a 100% accurate message that leaders should be repeating.
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.
