Hey—Hot Tip/Nth-thousandth Reminder: There are people who actively seek to destabilize and destroy consensus reality and knowledge-making for their own gain, whether through "AI" or any number of other propaganda processes and tools, and you shouldn't let them anywhere near power, ever, ever again.
The White House posted an AI-altered picture of an ICE protester under arrest, made to look like she was sobbing remorsefully.
The episode reveals something deeply disturbing about the unrestrained sadism of MAGA and this moment in American politics.

TikTok has been under new leadership for like a day and I made a slideshow with posts from the ICE rally today and it immediately got out under review and is not being published. Incredible.

I kept sending that video of her pretending to be John Oliver to the neighborhood chat until she left.
They probably gave up after sending ace reporter Olivia "Starving Kids is Okay as Long as They're Also Disabled" Reingold to infiltrate a Ice Watch Signal chat, only to find it was populated by normal, community-minded people performing acts of quiet heroism.

every employee of the VA, and every veteran, now has definitive proof that Doug Collins does not have their back and will exploit their death for political gain
the focus is rightly on Noem but this is disqualifying and he should resign or be impeached as well

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Sen. Jacky Rosen is calling for the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
"Kristi Noem and her department's latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately."

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

The thing being hallucinated here and elsewhere is that Dems are saying that what ICE is doing would be fine if only the agents were well trained.
There's this thing reasonable people on here do where they just completely hallucinate a reason Democrats are not doing what they would prefer. Imo this is bad practice and we shouldn't do it
the training thing is a useful instrumental lie to hamstring DHS ability to put goons on the streets and expand legislative oversight.
it would be cool if people would recognize it as such and move on instead of arguing with every damn press statement announcing that a Senator is doing a good thing

Let’s be clear about what the Trump regime is saying to Minnesota: “We will continue murdering your citizens unless you help us rig your election.”
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...
