Maybe some of those "why are you campaigning with an antisemite?" questions could go to Republicans backed by a Sieg Heiling white nationalist. The silence is especially deafening because Musk's involvement helped Republicans lose in WI in 2025, so the press even has its preferred horserace frame.

Note on pieces like these, not only is there no suggestion that Republicans should distance themselves from him, there's no hint that there's a reason to. No recap of his CSAM machine. No inflammatory racist quotes. No mention of the DOGE death toll. No history of his fabulist quotes.

For 150 years, my home county in Ohio has been scraped bare by coal, oil, and natural gas barons who promise wealth but deliver only poor soil, polluted water, and broken health Now they want to add data centers in addition to the fracking infrastructure like this

Hey friends, I have some fantastic news: you do not have to wait until utopia to celebrate small victories Not only is it OK to feel joy even if the world has not been fixed, it's really important to do so. You will burn yourself out and lose the ability to help us get to a better world

Almost finished with this book and I highly recommend it. It is perfectly written to keep you from feeling defeated or scared. I'm angry and pissed off but also have that feeling that "we are not going to lose to these fucking guys!"

Many describe my book as shocking/scary. But here's the secret some readers have figured out: It's also *funny*! If you think of it as an extended roast, it hits kind of different. I don't want to make readers afraid. I want to make them bold and energetic.

I refuse to believe that a lot of people don’t understand that AI images/videos are generated off of existing real content. This means that this ‘American right’ allows anyone to type in a prompt of child abuse, wait for a computer to mash 100s of real victims together, and spit out a new image.

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

A federal judge has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess child sexual abuse content created using Al if it does not depict a real person and remains in the home. On Tuesday, Judge John Z. Lee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using artificial intelligence if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. In his ruling, Judge Lee urged the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue of virtual abuse material of children in the age of Al, suggesting that technological advances complicate existing legal precedent. The case Lee ruled on came about in 2024 when the Department of Justice brought charges against Steven Anderegg, alleging that he used Al to create thousands of explicit images of children. He was accused of breaking federal obscenity laws by producing, distributing and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Anderegg sought to have the possession and production charges dismissed under the First Amendment. Last year, a judge in the Western District of Wisconsin agreed to dismiss the possession charge, prompting the federal prosecutors to appeal. Lee, in his ruling upholding the lower court's decision, cited the precedent set by Supreme Court rulings from 1969 and 2002. One held that individuals have a right to possess obscenity in the privacy of their home. The other found that "virtual" child sexual abuse material, not depicting a real person is not child pornography.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

I mean it’s kind of remarkable that he’s a heretic to both Christianity and the American civil religion in the exact same way: he places himself at the top of them, and the people who most loudly proclaim allegiance to those creeds are the biggest adherents to his heresy.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 2d ago

The US president declaring himself the greatest in history, above Lincoln and Washington, would have been considered a secular form of blasphemy as little as two years ago - and a sign of profound mental instability besides. Today it’s nothing. We’re supposed to take it in stride.

This is so disgusting I don't even know where to start. I didn't think I could think worse of Bovino but the little bit I've seen makes me realize I had no idea how awful he is.
