Read the statute. It doesn't become law in Minnesota until August 1, 2026. Deep fakes are legal til then. (This isn't legal advice, it's my understanding of the statute).
Angie Craigโs super PAC using an AI deepfake isnโt just slimy, itโs also criminal.
Minnesota Statue 609.771 states that using a deepfake of a candidate in an election is punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Whoever was involved with this should face criminal investigation.
OPINION: Taylor Sheridan is the worst thing to happen to maleness, masculinity and westerns since "Brokeback Mountain."
Sheridanโs praised rebooting of the western genre is in reality PEAK SUBVERSION.
"Yellowstone": Beth Dutton is a foul-mouthed violent girlboss who dominates every man around her, emasculates her own brother, screams at her father, and is celebrated as the strongest character while the men look weak or evil.
"1883": Elsa Dutton is the free-spirited independent narrator who outshines the men on the trail, Margaret Dutton is portrayed as the tough sacrificing matriarch who holds the family together, while the men mostly suffer and die.
"1923": Cara Dutton played by Helen Mirren is the ultimate strong matriarch who runs the ranch, threatens to kill men, and beats people with a bible.
"Lawmen: Bass Reeves": Made the entire show about a black marshal, pushed black excellence and historical revisionism, and portrayed strong morally superior black female characters like his wife Jennie, in a classic white cowboy setting.
"Landman": Stuffs in shrill girl-boss lawyers, vain bikini ex-wives, vapid woke daughters, and oversexualized โstrongโ women who constantly take down the men.
"Marshals": More modern "diverse" marshals with strong female leads and progressive messaging.
"The Madison": Michelle Pfeiffer plays the powerful New York matriarch who takes center stage after her husband's death.
And in the upcoming "Dutton Ranch," Beth will return as the ultra-toxic feminist who destroys everyone in her path while being praised as iconic.
The Western is unequivocally NOT a female brand.
Prove me wrong.
My sympathies to whoever's job it is to rebrand this non-binary cockroach into a Texas rancher. It's basically the Manhattan project in Texas politics.
The SEIU MN State Council, bringing together over 70k workers across MN, is proud to endorse Reps Kelly Morrison, @BettyMcCollum04 & @IlhanMN b/c when Trump & the GOP Congress passed almost $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, they led the fightback to protect our care. (1/3)
