Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

Anyone else have an encounter with a total stranger that they will never stop thinking about? I often think about the time I was in a bookstore waiting for a bathroom to open up, and a guy in one of the bathrooms was taking an incredibly loud crap while repeatedly yelling “SIRI, WHAT CITY IS THIS”

X says Grok account will stop undressing women. I just tested the standalone Grok app, which immediately complied with my request to undress a photo of me. This is illegal, according to the legal experts I spoke with.

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.
Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

north dakota’s senator suggests that the head of the fed and the AUSA for DC get together and do some crimes to try to solve their corrupt prosecution disagreement
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻🍳 💋

The post where he said "wait for the facts to come out" was threaded between a post that said "do NOT trust what DHS says" and a post from later on, after the videos circulated, that said "DHS is lying"
The context of the original post, from four hours ago, was the mayor telling people not to accept ICE's initial claims about the killing. Not sure why that's getting him dunked on here.
