to be fair, no one could have predicted this
For @spitfirenews.com, I found that increasingly realistic AI-generated videos are being deployed to harass, smear, and create endless offensive content of influencers, whose likenesses are already readily available online. It’s happening to private figures, too.

Day 15 of a Government Shutdown:

House Republicans are nowhere to be found.

Trump and Johnson are refusing to protect Americans health care.

Notices are going to start rolling out to families across Massachusetts announcing increased health care costs.

The fight goes on.

No Thrones. No Crowns. #NoKings.

This Saturday October 18, we rise. Not to protect a broken system, but to protect each other.

We do not bow to power.

We build people power.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.

HUR chief Budanov stated that 99% of Ukraine’s recent strikes on targets inside Russia, like oil refineries, are carried out using domestically produced systems. Ukraine now has the capacity to act independently and effectively, he said, adding that even Russia acknowledges the results.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

A new era of government censorship has begun.
It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself
