At the same time the Epstein Files are reinforcing how protected sexual abusers really are, Neil Gaiman is using the nightmarish sexual violence allegations against him to market his next book. His DARVO defense is the first selling point. Rape culture is everywhere and unavoidable.

And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!

Anyone who works for ice should be shunned from public life forever. They've proven they don't function in normal communities if they'll do this to strangers if the order is given they'll do it to you. These fuckers cannot be trusted. They're not deep throating the boot they are the boot.
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Referring to kidnapping and trafficking people as a "catch of the day operation" is dehumanizing rhetoric intended to make our neighbors sound like animals. These are people, not fish, and no one should be treated this way—regardless of immigration status or conduct

This is why calling them weird creeps was so effective, not just to damage the leadership psychologically, but to make it extremely socially embarrassing to be a known supporter of them in the general public. The point is to make society at large view them as they are, not the force they wish to be.
New polling data shows that it's getting increasingly embarrassing to identify as a Republican, and some Trump voters are slinking away and pretending it never happened.

Exactly. Dems keep trying to pivot the conversation back to affordability but what is their signature policy on this issue? Once we’re finally talking about it they have nothing to say.
aside from the obvious problem with this strategy, do dems really want to own a part of this economy when there is likely nothing they can do about it?
Schumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

I spoke to @jjfreyd.bsky.social, who developed the concept of DARVO, about the way the Trump admin is using it to smear Renee Good, other ICE victims, and Twin Cities residents at large. I also traced how viral DARVO campaigns against abuse victims led us here.

Gavin Newsom has terrible political instincts. Cozying up to racists like Charlie Kirk. Attacking trans kids. Defending billionaires. When left to his own devices he always picks the wrong path.
Newsom is useful in the same way MTG is. Great that he’s there to make fun of Trump, but that doesn’t mean he’s actually got good ideas. Being pro-tax-the-billionaires is the lowest hanging fruit for 2028 aspirants and he can’t even clear that bar.

Reminder that even DISNEY didn't have enough data to train their own AI model.
Every time a company tells us they will "only use their data" or "train their own ai" : they are lying. Perhaps lying to themselves too, idk.
AI is only "" good enough"" when it's based on massive theft.

This shit is fucking nauseating:
“Soon after Good was killed, people on X began using Grok, the platform’s built-in AI chatbot, to edit images of her dead body into a bikini.”
“Soon after Good was killed, people on X began using Grok, the platform’s built-in AI chatbot, to edit images of her dead body into a bikini.”
I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Yeah, it has long been the case that adult-oriented businesses have to be careful or risk the wrath of everyone from prosecutors to payment-processing companies, but "prominent social media company owned by world's richest person swiftly became world's largest CSAM producer" produces no reaction.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear
After a boutique on South Street received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling breast binders for gender-affirming care, the region’s transgender community worries about the potential wider impacts.
