You know, many of us said the post 9/11 War on Terror measures were Orwellian bullshit at the time, from DHS to ICE. The Patriot Act was chilling as well.

Some of us objected vociferously. Perhaps we didn't have the mics or the power, but we remember 2001-2005 as a terrible time in this country.

Did $10 monthly reoccurring
Good morning friends, from the Wicked Witch of the Whistle Coven!

We had dozens of requests over the past 48 hours which makes me SO HAPPY! But part of filling small orders is more shipping costs. $5-7 covers us shipping out 100 whistles to radicalize a PTA!

If you'd like to help, hit the GFM!

President Trump didn’t just pardon the rampaging rioters who assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021, he began to hire them. House Judiciary Democrats demand answers from Attorney General Pam Bondi and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Which insurrectionists are working for ICE?
House Democrats ask Trump administration if any Jan. 6 rioters are now working for ICE
Nearly one year after the mass pardon of more than 1,500 Trump-supporting Capitol riot defendants, House Democrats are asking whether any of the pardoned rioters are now working for ICE.

“Grok is generating at least one non-consensual sexual image every minute”
Grok Is Undressing Women and Children. Only Elon Musk Is to Blame
The abuse is widespread. But instead of apologizing, Musk has gleefully encouraged the behavior, praising Grok’s ability and promoting the tool.

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.

But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

I will never read your Substack
Appreciate what you're trying to do, but maybe consider choosing a platform for your writing that doesn't support and pay modern Nazi's. Ghost would be a better choice than Substack: ghost.org/vs/substack/
