A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

In 2024, I wrote a story for Texas Monthly about Michelle Haas, whose complaints resulted in the removal of books about slavery from historic Texas slave plantations. Haas sued us, alleging defamation, and was represented by the preferred lawyer of billionaire J.P. Bryan. Today, we won on appeal.

Everyone should listen to this.

It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now.

This one show will reach more normal GOP folks than we ever could.

Every quote from dipshit mouth breathers might as well be 'I ignored everything he said and common sense and pulled the lever wishing desperately it'd be 2019 and my kids would still talk to me'

hadn’t really considered this possibility which immediately made me nervous- but then i realized every gop candidate will have their own ai trump endorsing them and they’ll all fight over which one is the “real” trump which could be pretty funny

I wrote about how MAGA is being shaped by a politics of immortality, how Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom reflects this, and what it could mean for the future of Trumpism. Read at @liberalcurrents.com

This is so depressing

This is all much more complicated than just memorialization.

Using visions and AI to assert *new* information about a dead person—to give them new words and opinions—is much closer to a world where the dead are never really dead.

Way too many people seem convinced that the day Trump dies all this somehow goes away.

People will snap out of it. No one will be able to harness his base.

I think this is simply wrong. But I also think Trump will still be “speaking” to MAGA after he’s gone.

Churches showing an AI Charlie Kirk telling congregants, through an artificial voice, not to let evil win is a new level of instrumentalizing the dead.

When Trump goes, I think we’re going to see the same thing. Visions and AI slop will abound. Prophecies and messages from beyond the grave.

She can have whatever she wants 😂

I just watching that I got back a few months of my life that I lost since January.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

Trump baiting the democrats

I’m probably just rambling on at this point but I honestly appreciate your thoughtful response.

A person who called themselves a follower of Judaism but ignored the requirements of the Mosaic Law or other dogmas of the faith I think it would be fair to question their stated faith as well.

I guess whether or not Trump or bigoted antisemites on the right or other historical figures or just mean spirited Christians in day to day life have a sincerely held faith will be an unknown in this life.

I have to base my assessment of a person’s faith on their deeds and I think that’s fair.

If you have another source that provides some counterpoint I’d be happy to read it.

The reference to Trump for me is people taking advantage of the faith of others for their own private gain which I see Trump doing on the regular.

I realize that you and others don’t see the Temple events that way.

I honestly appreciate your thoughtful response and I can understand why it could be viewed as you’ve described by people of a sincere and deeply held faith.

I shared this Wikipedia article not to be upsetting but to share context.

Congratulations!

I know it’s a lot to ask but I’d love it if my right leaning and MAGA family and friends had their eyes opened to the corruption, destructiveness, and criminality of Trump and his entire administration.

The executive spending money on paying the military without congressional approval is "fall of the Roman republic" behavior.
