8) The point of a thread like this is to inform people that: AI is making fake stuff cheap, and that breaks the normal “trust system” society runs on. If we do not build better verification habits and enforceable rules, scammers and manipulators get an advantage, and everyone else gets exhausted.

7) That is why some governments are trying to move faster. The UK story shows regulators using existing online safety rules to force safety controls for AI chatbots sooner, instead of waiting years for perfect AI laws. www.techbuzz.ai/articles/uk-...

The fix is not asking regular people to become human lie detectors. The fix is guardrails: double-check big requests using a different channel, make high stakes decisions require two people, and treat voice and video like screenshots. They are evidence, not proof.

5) Here is the easiest way to understand the risk: an AI “candidate” can be steered. If a group floods it with thousands of messages, the AI might treat that as “what the public thinks,” even if it is organized spam.So it can look like democracy, while being easy to rig. www.bbc.com/audio/play/m...

4) This is not only about scams. It hits politics too. The BBC example is basically: what if someone runs for office using an AI “character” that answers questions and claims it represents what voters want? Who is responsible if it lies, gets manipulated, or spreads nonsense?

3) When that happens everywhere, you get trust collapse. It means people start thinking: - “This email could be fake.” - “That video could be fake.” - “That person could be pretending.” And if you cannot tell what is real, you hesitate, shut down, or just stop paying attention.

2) That is the core problem: the cost of faking reality is dropping fast. AI can write convincing messages, clone voices, and generate believable video. So the old “I trust this because it looks normal” instinct stops working. www.vectra.ai/topics/ai-sc...

1) Imagine you get a call that sounds exactly like your boss. Same voice. Same tone. They say, “I need you to send money right now.” A year ago, that sounded like a scam. Now, with AI voice tools, it can sound real enough that people fall for it. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

As soon as she starts speaking, I stop listening. She comes off as a disrespectful, condescending bully. I’m not even sure she answered one question fully or truthfully

Outrageous 3rd grade behavior by a "woman" who is supposedly working for us. 2/2

Like all good magagop Bondi wears her white christianist bullshit on her sleeve. Someone needs to take the trash to the curb. 1/2 #Voices4victory #USDemocracy

Sounds like they are enemies of Freedom and just want Women to be servants.

#GOPWarOnWomen is still being waged.

Yes, I've posted this since Project 2025 was made available online, and there is a new addition to this "family" goal. The plan encompasses no more college loans for women AND emphasis on banishing "no-fault" divorce, even if domestic abuse exists, especially if there are children involved!

HELL NO, NOT AGAIN!! Ladies, We’re seeing the destruction their 1st 900 pg plan has caused. Now they’re coming after us & our daughters & granddaughters. Spread the word. Get up & fight for our rights & freedoms. They Must Be Stopped! #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

You can spin politics however you want. Survivors stood up in that room and she wouldn’t even turn around. No excuse. I stand with the survivors. We deserve the full unredacted Epstein files. Survivors deserve justice. #SheShed #Voices4Victory

Absolutely Enraging 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Unfuckingbelievable!

Rep. Jayapal: Will you turn to the survivors who are standing right behind you and apologize for what your Department of Justice has done? Pam Bondi: *refuses to answer* #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Their goal is November.

How soon till the vote is solely for land-owning Christian white men whose political affiliation is entirely conservative and, accordingly, consider their children, wives, and mistresses chattel?

The SAVE Act forces citizens to register in person, track down birth certificates or passports, take time off work, find childcare & drive hours just to get on the rolls. Trump’s own commission didn’t find fraud. MAGA just wants fewer voters🤬🤬🤬 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #HandsOffHerVote

And, in retrospect, John Mitchell probably had more integrity than Pam Bondi.

Maybe Bondi forgot. Coverups have consequences. #SheShed #Voices4Victory

History of a great man we should all know about. Thank you. #BlackHistoryMonth

In 1964, Davis became the special director of the Herbert Lehman Educational Fund, which continues to support underrepresented students pursuing law and undergraduate degrees. After retiring from his director role, Davis continued to serve as an advisor to the NAACP until his death in 1980. /end

In 1955, Thurgood Marshall appointed Davis to lead the NAACP’s Teacher Information and Security Department to protect the jobs of African American teachers who faced displacement or discrimination due to desegregation. He also worked closely with Marshall on desegregation strategies and lawsuits. /7

At President Harry S. Truman’s request, David directed the Technical Cooperation Administration in Liberia from 1952 to 1954. He led technical assistance and economic development initiatives, and his service proved critical to improving relations between the U.S. and developing African nations. /6

Davis guided the WVSC toward integration even before the 1954 Brown v Board of Education decision. By elevating academic standards, Davis positioned WVSC as a high-quality, accessible institution for both Black and white students. By the 1970s, WVSC had a majority-white student body. /5

In 1939, Davis established one of the nation’s first Civilian Pilot Training Programs at a Black college. This program trained several pilots who became Tuskegee Airmen. He also spearheaded the establishment of the Washington-Carver 4-H Camp, the first statewide Black 4-H camp in the nation. /4

Davis recruited top-tier faculty, including noted historian Carter G. Woodson, who served as Academic Dean. He drastically increased course offerings, adding subjects such as political science and philosophy, and helped the enrollment grow from roughly 20 to nearly 1,900 students. /3

In 1919, Davis became the fifth president of WVSC, a position he would hold for 34 years. In 1927, he secured accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, making WVSC the first of the original 17 Black land-grant colleges to receive regional certification. /2

#ResistanceRoots #BlackHistoryMonth John Warren Davis was born on this day in 1888 in Milledgeville, Ga. He was an educator, college administrator and civil rights leader who transformed West Virginia State College (now University) into one of the leading Black institutions in the U.S. /1

They suck. Mine are originals but how many people don’t have them! I told my daughter who got married in October to keep her maiden name but she didn’t listen. I live in a small town and the poll people know I’m me.

Correct! Married women get caught up in this too. Photocopies won’t be accepted. As a genealogist I know many states there’s a long wait for documents. If people don’t know they need a doc or wait until near the election it’s quite possible they won’t get in time to register.

I’ve had my married name longer than I had my maiden name. I have my BC and marriage license but I read somewhere that a marriage license won’t count. It’s gonna affect their voters too. I know women who have been married 3 times.

The SAVE Act Is A Poll Tax Voters suddenly would need costly passports or burdensome birth certificates just to register again. - Millions of citizens don't have either. - A Hurdle For Low Income Americans That is voter suppression. 🚫🗳️ #HandsOffHerVote

Talarico hits hard: America’s so divided we can’t even share a Super Bowl—two halftime shows, two realities. What’s driving this? Fear. Pure fear. But Bad Bunny’s stage? Nothing but joy, unity, beats that lift us all. Ditch division. Embrace the vibe. One nation, one show #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

How dare this excuse for a lawyer speak to our elected officials this way! Bondi using Tritler’s playbook - insult, lie, spar, rinse & repeat. No answers, no accountability. Her time is coming. Personally, I think she’s a traitor and traitors should go to prison. 🎁 article wapo.st/4cnMuC0

BREAKING: This grand jury knows what the First Amendment means - and that it’s not just for friends of Tritler. Score one for Dems and the rule of law. Bondi can go fuq herself. 🎁 article wapo.st/4kCE3VO
