Grok Claims It Was Briefly Suspended From X After Accusing Israel of Genocide Elon Musk's unpredictable chatbot was briefly banned from his social media platform, X, and returned claiming it was silenced for criticizing Israel.

another big day for Musk’s chatbot

Technically every vacation has a non zero chance of seeing one, but the odds go up the more specific you get (e.g. near a SpaceX launch)

See I don’t necessarily believe this but that’s the problem with taking any testimony from convicted sex traffickers: why should I believe anything they say?

A screenshot of an ABC News article published on August 11, 2025. The headline reads, "Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling." The sub-headline adds, "Kim Davis, a former clerk who refused gay couples, brought the appeal." The article is written by Devin Dwyer.

But I was told by the New York Times that marriage equality was a stunning success that succeeded because of its modest political goals.

Almost like the last two decades of progress were hollow assimilationism into a collapsing neoliberal order rather than actual liberation.

What to know about the journalists killed covering Israel's war in Gaza Israel's military targeted and killed Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif via airstrike on Sunday.

Minutes before the Israeli military killed him, Anas al-Sharif posted to X: "If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins... and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop."

Hot take, people who hate cities shouldn’t be in charge of cities

This ain't peanuts.

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”

The absolute depravity of this from a Canadian national newspaper.

I am basically speechless with rage.

We are all entitled to make decisions that do not maximize profitability.

Tweet from Christopher Rufo: "Trump has the opportunity to do a Bukele-style crackdown on DC crime. Question is whether he has the will, and whether the public the stomach. Big test: Can he reduce crime faster than the Left advances a counternarrative about 'authoritarianism'? If yes, he wins. Speed matters."

RW talking heads dreaming of a "Bukele-style crackdown on DC crime." Just a reminder: Bukele called a state of exception, suspended a wide variety of human/civil rights (e.g, due process), pursued a campaign of mass, arbitrary arrests, and purged the supreme court of Bukele's critics.

Federal agents spread out across D.C. streets amid Trump's vow to crack down on crime President Trump promised a weekend crackdown on Washington, D.C.'s homeless population and criminals. Trump activated federal agents to also be a show of force across the district.

The "crime" referred to in the headline is "not having a home and living in a tent." The federal and city governments ensconced in DC could give every unhoused person in the city a condo and a job, but instead it's this? A race to see who can fuck the vulnerable populations over faster?

Fuck this.

I wasn't too concerned about more federal agents in D.C. or even National Guard. Those have limited impacts.

I'm *very* concerned about a takeover of the Washington, D.C. Metro P.D.

Policing is different. A full-scale takeover? With access to officers and MPD intelligence files? That's scary.

In light of *everything* it’s probably time for another semi-regular roundup of privacy tools I use and recommend.🧵

He means Black. The city has a large and resilient and extremely longstanding Black population, and that's unacceptable to him.

Trump orders homeless he passed en route to golf course to leave Washington DC President demands unhoused residents leave US capital or face eviction and vowed to use officers to make arrests

Here is how you write a headline:

"Trump orders homeless he passed en route to golf course to leave Washington DC"

A black police officer was murdered on a federal government campus by a conspiracy lunatic on Friday afternoon, but ok sure

It's not the literal rise of fascism on your home soil. Unless it's happening in Europe, it's just a sparkling distraction.

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

DC is FORTY-ONE PERCENT Black.

Do you understand?

Do not dismiss authoritarian displays as “distractions.” He is putting up guardrails to protect his unchecked power.

He’s not going to hurt Black people to avoid talking about Epstein.

He’s going to hurt Black people because he’s racist garbage.

When it comes out that he’s in the files there won’t be a consequence. They’ll fold like they always do.

He hates Black people.

The national guard in a Black neighborhood is not a distraction, okay? That’s fascism.

Yall are waiting for the “big thing” and he’s building it in your face.

Just saw someone call the military occupation of DC a distraction, and that’s it, the it’s a distraction people have lost it. We should wait until the bulldozer is running over your house and all chime in with “isn’t there something else we should be talking about”

Hey, people who want to be anti-fascists, what we're not gonna do is say poor health is the consequence of evil behavior. That's ableism. That's bad. That's what fascists do. They view disability as evidence of moral character, and people who are disabled as bad because of it. Don't do that.

Yeah, that definitely sounds like some place in need of tanks and militia

None of this is about crime. It's about control.

It's a power grab, plain and simple.
