Do not forget that the Iranian government shut down past protests by sending their police force into the crowds dressed as civilians to kill protesters.

The Trump regime is no different than Iran's authoritarian regime.

Both are the world's leading state sponsors of terror.

Grok, is Elon's AI which he has personally programmed and changed it's algorithm to meet his 'conservative needs' because it contradicted him.
I will reiterate that I've never had cause to regret abandoning the former Twitter more than two years ago now, and have suffered neither personally nor professionally for doing so. Since I left it's become more toxic and, yes, evil. The people who are still there should really consider moving on.
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.

This cartoon is very accurate. . .and that hurts so much.
​”You can't protest in a way that offends the right.

You can't teach things that the right doesn't want you to teach.

You can't read things that they don't want you to read.

You can't use words that they don't want you to use but they love free speech.”

Protester confronts fat-assed ICE agent that desecrated memorial for Renee Good. ICE agent shoves him without repercussions. They’re trying to provoke us. Keep these videos. In the real world, this is an assault that would get his ass beaten. His uniform protects him.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Good News!!!! Let's hope this progress continues for justice for Renee Good. We can't count on the FBI under the current regime who lies to us every second of every day.

ICE once trained deportation officers for 13 wks. Under the hiring surge that’s been cut to 8 wks, slashing key components like Spanish language training.

Faster deployment may look tough but it raised serious questions about readiness, judgment, and risk.

We an answer to one question yesterday.

What the actual fuck???

Every leader in each nation needs to stop working with the US govt. Stop thinking you are going to go along to get along.

Until the Judiciary (SCOTUS) & both the US House of Representatives & the US Senate decide to rein him in, the world is in peril. He has no morality.
NYT: “Asked in a wide-ranging interview if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: ‘Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’”

It’s important for ICE officers to wear masks to stop people like … [checks note] … the DHS secretary from doxxing them.
Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident.

60 workers at Ubisoft’s studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia voted to form a union.

In response, Ubisoft announced it was closing the entire studio. Maybe it’s time to look into the millions they get in public money for operating in Canada.
