Altering the truth/reality is very on brand for the US government.
As if AI slop alone isn’t bad enough. The misapplication of AI and other similar digital tools will only get worse.
The White House has confirmed its official X account posted a fake image of a woman arrested in Minnesota after interrupting a service at a church where an ICE official appears to be a pastor. The White House image altered the actual photo to wrongly make it seem like the defendant was sobbing.
Asked for comment, the White House sent a link to a spokesperson’s X post that said, “Enforcement of the law will continue. The memes will continue.”
Hundreds of photos revealing the faces of those killed during the violent crackdown on protests in Iran have been leaked to BBC Verify.
The pictures reveal the bloodied, swollen and bruised faces of at least 326 victims - including 18 women.

@yashar I don’t know you, but I would still like to say that I feel for you and others who are in the same situation. Uncertainty can worry you sick and I can only imagine what you are going through with the news coming out of Iran. I truly hope you hear from your family soon.
The best 8:40 minutes to watch on the Greenland situation (with conservative member of parliament, former minister and current chairman of the defense committee of the Danish parliament). Clear replies to most of the "arguments" made from Americans
It stopped being funny a long, long time ago. The President of the United States is completely unhinged and I’m still waiting for Republicans to cross the aisle and stand up to him. On this matter and so many others.
“The President of the United States wants to invade Greenland - owned by Denmark - because he’s mad at the Norwegian government for not awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize- which they have nothing to do with” sounds unbelievable but he literally put it in writing…
This isn't satire. No jokes. This is the President of the United States telling Norway that he's going to take Greenland from Denmark because Norway didn't give him a peace prize.
This isn't Orange Man Bad. This is Orange Man Mad.
@winterene The harsh reality for so many Americans. It really is sad that people experiencing homelessness are forgotten and at times even dehumanized by people in power.
For decades, the Iranian people have endured unimaginable oppression at the hands of a brutal dictatorship that has denied their humanity. We have been horrified at the reports coming out of Iran, including hospitals full of dead bodies—murdered by the regime—and protestors shot point-blank in the streets of Tehran and other cities.
But we have also been inspired by the resolve of Iranian activists, led largely by fearless women. Generations of Iranians have fought against the odds to establish a nation built on self-determination and human dignity, and it is our sincere prayer that this is the generation to achieve it.
🧵 Amid the Iranian authorities’ unprecedented crackdown on ongoing nationwide protests, marked by mass killings and sweeping arrests, concerns are mounting that authorities will once again resort to swift trials and arbitrary executions to crush and deter dissent. 1/5
@pauliebleek3r Great! Let me know what you think whenever you get around to see them😀
I only know Kodi from the series Disclaimer which I thought was fine. He did good in it though👍
@pauliebleek3r How about The Road then? I vaguely remember it being very bleak.
If you like Casey Affleck I must recommend his directional debut Light of My Life. This is a hidden gem but not soul crushingly devastating. Give it a go some other time (if you haven’t seen it) – it’ll be worth it.
We’ve often seen US politicians make outrageous statements that show complete disregard for Palestinian civilians (Lindsey Graham and Randy Fine👀).
But in Denmark we have Joachim B. Olsen – a former politician turned journalist.
He’s clearly a fan of collective punishment🤮
Absolutely horrific news from Sydney on the first day of Hanukkah.
The rise in antisemitism around the world is an unacceptable development and must not be tolerated.
I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and in particular with the Jewish people of Australia today.
Absolutely horrified by the news of the mass murders in Sydney's Bondi Beach - a place dear to me, where I used to live, and which I cannot imagine as a massacre site. Humanity needs to stop and re-evaluate our infinite capacity for inhumanity. https://t.co/0IxOUSkLTE
Trump, Musk and their acolytes like to pretend that they're champions of free speech. There are constant reminders that they are not and any lectures from them on the subject should be ignored

Asking tourists to volunteer 5 years of their social media history, and granting them entrance based on whether right-wing bureaucrats personally agree with their personal posts is what authoritarian regimes do.
This will decimate U.S. tourism.
