While Grok faces investigations for generating sexualized AI images, including of children, Alliance Defending Freedom International is backing Elon Musk in X’s fight against EU regulation. A group that brands itself as pro family is defending a platform under scrutiny for AI driven exploitation.

Laura Loomer And Other MAGAts Want To 'Round Up' And Deport Muslims After Unprovoked Iran Strike Laura Loomer and other MAGAts think Trump attacking Iran means Muslims across the country need to be rounded up and deported.

Media needs to stop being safe with her. She spoke at a White Supremacist conference three years ago and was cool with Dick Spencer. Kill the β€œalleged” crap. Her talking like this tracks!

Tommy Robinson has built a career on weaponising sexual violence allegations against Muslim men.

So it is worth pausing to examine what he does when the accused rapist is white, famous, and a useful ally.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

Clarence Thomas Just Struck Another Blow to Black Power In his majority ruling in a sleeper case about mail delivery, Thomas opened the door to a new way for Republicans to suppress the Black vote.

In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot.
To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite β€œblack friend,” Clarence Thomas.

More than 17k Korean Adoptees in US Lack Citizenship. Many Live in Minnesota. For the more than 15,000 Korean adoptees in Minnesota who lack citizenship, recent immigration raids have caused immense fear and anxiety.

Thousands of Korean adoptees lack citizenship because the U.S. adoption system brought them here but failed to secure their legal status. When adoptive parents didn’t complete the paperwork, adoptees face barriers to work, licensing, benefits, and even the threat of deportation. buff.ly/TA1UYq8 πŸ₯š

The leaked Trump Voting Takeover E.O. requires ALL voters to RE-REGISTER in person (except disabled).

Re-registering everyone in just months is a nightmarish unwarranted suppression tactic, and will crush local election staff. THEN, there will be more purges with checks against sketchy databases.

Even election officials who like voter ID have issues with the SAVE America Act "It's a classic 'show your papers’ law designed to make it harder for US citizens to vote," Sec. Jocelyn Benson said.

Even some of the SAVE America Act’s cosponsors are misguided about the bill’s identification requirements for registration, mistakenly believing a state driver’s license compliant with the 2005 REAL ID Act would be sufficient. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
