Can things get stupider?

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Imagine having an account on a website that produces CSAM.

Ofcom, which enforces the UK's Online Safety Act, says it is aware of "serious concerns" about Grok undressing people including children on X “We have made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK," it says

“The company responded to a request for comment with an autoreply: “Legacy Media Lies.”

Two weeks ago, the State Department sanctioned trusted flaggers in the EU. Please ban it abroad.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

"You need a good guy with CSAM to stop a bad guy with CSAM."

Elon decided to make a right wing LLM and confirmed pedocon theory in the process

Around 2am ET, the president posted ~100 times on Truth Social. Many things twice.

Yeah, it has long been the case that adult-oriented businesses have to be careful or risk the wrath of everyone from prosecutors to payment-processing companies, but "prominent social media company owned by world's richest person swiftly became world's largest CSAM producer" produces no reaction.

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

“‘If a fire occurs in the cabin ... don’t check on the immigrants. Just make sure that you and the guards and the people that work for the government get off," one flight attendant was told. “It was as if the detainees’ lives were worthless,’” said another. Our #3 most-read story of 2025:

Y’all ever purchased something from Depop. It’s a reselling platform. Founds a shirt I have been looking for and this is the message I received after purchasing. 😂

Our organization, Center for Extremism Prevention and Intervention x Hands of Eir, is urgently raising funds to help a friend and their children escape a life-threatening domestic violence situation. gofund.me/878718cfa

In April 2016, Trump initially used the term in a campaign speech, proclaiming that “America First” would be “the major and overriding theme of my administration.” America First was a deeply racist, anti-Semitic, and xenophobic party with KKK membership. fpif.org/the-ugly-ori...

A map of the white-nationalist ecosystem after the “alt-right” moment: how the movement splinters, rebrands, and then gets laundered back into GOP/MAGA infrastructure—while smaller, weirder currents keep incubating new threats. @journalspectre.bsky.social spectrejournal.com/varieties-of...

I wanted to do a quick "end of year" wrap up thread with some of my favorite articles I published this year. I included basically a stack of links at this post of my newsletter and you can check out this post thread with a few stand-outs. 🧵 maiseh-review.ghost.io/writing-from...

Important to note ways it "escaped containment": Newhouse is quote tweeting a quote tweet by Jordan Lasker, a white supremacist race scientist who the NYTimes whitewashed, anonymized, & elevated as an "academic" in a story attacking Mamdani (for trying to fit his complex identity on a college form).

Ohio has our first pediatric #flu death of the season-- unvaccinated 16 year old, previously healthy. No child should die of this. Vaccination isn't perfect, but it's the best protection.

Remember when the French opposed to invasion of Iraq?! In 2003 Bob Ney, Republican Chairman of the Committee on House Administration, renamed French Fries to Freedom Fries in 3 Congressional cafeterias. We invaded the WRONG country.

Nationalism “does nothing but teach you how to hate people that you never met.” Anti-Muslim hate is experiencing a rapid acceleration. In the 1840s/18050s the “Know Nothing Party” claimed Irish Catholics migrants were incompatible with democracy. History rhymes.

Learn about the “Know Nothing” party. Learn about Bacon’s Rebellion and their alliance between indentured servants and Africans (slaves, indentured, & free men). Learn about Black Panthers and the Rainbow Coalition. Read a book on the history of race & class in the US.

You will learn things like the origin of the word derogatory word “crackers.” White people used this to distinguish themselves above lower class whites. www.npr.org/sections/cod...

Most people in Louisville don't know about Bloody Monday. It rhymes, indeed. migrationmemorials.trinity.duke.edu/items/bloody...

Nationalism is a cancer. Look no further than the bipartisan support for “immigration reform” before Trump was elected. Vivek Ramaswamy recently wrote an op-ed in the NYT rejecting “blood and soil” nationalism but embracing nationalism which still demands an enemy

Establishment/corporate Democrats will NOT abolish ICE. An agency only 20+ yo. They will “reform” it as they may want an agency that gives the President its own police force. Repealing the Patriot Act has popular bipartisan support. Tech surveillance grown. Surveillance state supports Trump.

Establishment Democrats aren’t acting as an opposition/resistance party. They are simply waiting for it to be their turn. Some members are STILL willing to throw groups (ie trans people) under the bus allowing MAGA to target other small communities like Somali Americans because many are Muslim.

Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

This isn’t about shaming people that do porn. They are agitators & propagandists for a project targeting the LGBTQ community. MAGA promotes stochastic terror by calling the community groomers. It’s also the DEATH OF EXPERTISE!

The day of the Uvalde shooting I rushed to my son's daycare, a small, in-home business like this one run by a wonderful Pakistani woman. I told her what happened & we wept while we reviewed her safety protocols. We weren't afraid of immigrants, we were afraid of young American men like these idiots.

Fuck the fash. ⬋⬋⬋

It's the new "Haitians are eating dogs in Ohio" for these people.

Drake and Adin Ross along with others are being hit with a Federal RICO case involving a tipping feature on Stake to transfer money among themselves, which was then used to artificially inflate Drake’s music streams across major distribution platforms. And, people questioned Kendrick.

🧵 Chris Sims (@/chrisxsims) and @/dannyrebel333 are harassing a Somali American operated daycares in Kent, Washington. The woman that answered the door told someone to call the police. The “journalists” appear to have or had an amateur porn career.

sliwa correctly understanding that mamdani ran a very traditional campaign and thus surpassing the analytical ability of 80% if people who comment on politics for a living

this is the most incredible interview i’ve ever read. the aei guy tries so hard to get sliwa to trash mamdani and he simply won’t. he also brings up flaco (rip) unprompted. www.wsj.com/opinion/free...

A personal/professional goal I made mid '25 that I'm continuing into '26 is to focus on the everyday Americans trying to make our country a better place, not the politicians trying to divide us. Casey Rollins in Springfield, OH, is one of those Americans: 19thnews.org/2025/12/spri...

i was just thinking about this. when a fascist squeaks by, it’s a mandate. when a progressive wins by a landslide, he needs to be deferential. it’s such bullshit.

OMG OLIVIA REINGOLD ON CNN talking about Zohran. STOP

Any lawyers who deal with families and DV able to contact me about possibly helping someone trying to get out of an abusive relationship with a white nationalist?

I actually 100% support homecare subsidies, it is wild that we do not support primary caretakers who choose to do that work, AND The GOP does not want this shit, they want to get women at home and then cut all the subsidies so we're stuck barefoot and immiserated

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”
