While President Trump and the White House regularly circulate imagery altered by artificial intelligence, including demeaning and racist deepfakes, it is usually so over the top that the goal seems more about cartoonish mockery than outright deceit.

The photograph of Ms. Levy Armstrong was different. It ​h​as the hallmarks of brazen disinformation from the top level of government: smearing and humiliating one citizen in order to influence public opinion, while sending a warning to other critics to beware of crossing the administration.

Remember this when they say “libruls cant take a joke”

a misleading description of Ms. Levy Armstrong as a “far-left agitator”

lol, everybody who doesn’t lick The Don’s boots thrice gets that moniker.

Big Oil, coal and other shit have been worming their way into US education for decades, spreading lies, esp. against climate and environmental action. I once listened to a long podcast about this, interviewing parents etc. It was very interesting, and very depressing.

A spin off the great documentary that has the cosmopolitan charm of an airline advertisment? I’m sitting on hot coals!

Srsly I thought she had slightly more intelligence than her husband, but apparently The Endgame Grift is infectious.

“We should all be standing up and saying that’s not OK. Literally, listen to what they’re saying. Active threats like, Turn over the voter rolls or else, or we will continue to do what we’re doing. That’s something you can do in America now.”

And from the original NYT interview:

I spoke to Frey on Thursday afternoon, not long after Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan — who has been dispatched to Minneapolis to replace and clean up after the operation’s original commander Gregory Bovino — promised to de-escalate the situation there. He said in a news conference that there would be a drawdown of agents, only to have President Trump later deny that there was any plan to pull back.

It’s this type of dissonance inside the admin that gives me hope.

There’s also a YT video.
He has some pretty good answers to the interviewers annoying, pushy and leading questions.

I don’t think the 0.001% are free either, but I get your point.

And yes, this grand project of cowing the masses has been going on for a long while, and especially in the US of NA. Just look at what Big Oil did, all through the past 100 years.

“No more teaching of critical thinking skills”?

I have to see how the admin phrases that.

“We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.”

Yep, they said it. Unambiguously.

That was in 2012 btw.

Trump is constantly trying to outdo The Onion. I’m surprised they didn’t go out of business yet, that’s some tough competition.

and not be allowed to name any school after President Trump.

You can’t make this shit up. I’ll show myself out.

ebay

Pretty sure there’s some good reason to boycott them, but they’re not Amazon.

+1 for dublab, they also have a German affiliate dublab.de with the same vibe.

And WeFunk is just what I’ve been looking for.

• Bagel Radio https://www.bagelradio.com/ for all things fuzzy
• 9128 https://www.9128.live/ electronic, usually quieter stuff.
• LYL https://lyl.live/ experimental, rare, off the beaten path, very much depends on the DJ
• NTS Live & infinite mixtapes https://www.nts.live/
• Vinyl Stacks Uncool http://cmvs.uncool.club:2121/vinyl-stacks

And recently also 12XU https://onetwoxu.de/radio/ noise, hardcore, anti-relaxation, sometimes lo-fi

edit: all of these commercial free of course! And usually 100% music, no talk, with the exception of Bagel Radio who regularly run a show where the top DJ presents new arrivals, but the rest is 100% music too.

So Whatsapp, despite using E2E encryption, always has the keys to decrypt your messages? Did I get that right?

Oh. That puts a damper on things. But it still could be the catalyst that makes more cops act against ICE.

The NYCLU recommends focusing on ICE agents themselves where possible to document their activity, rather than using the camera to follow the people impacted by agents’ actions.

Additionally, recording for as long as possible, even after interactions with agents appear to be over, is a way of ensuring that you capture any unexpected activity that could crop up as a crowd is dispersing.

While it may be tempting (and often newsworthy) to immediately post video footage of ICE or other immigration official activity to social media as soon as it is safe, you may want to pause before doing so. “It can expose people in the video to harm as well as the person who filmed it,” says Zammuto from Witness.

Precautions you could take, depending on the situation, include blurring the faces of bystanders in the video, scrubbing metadata from files, and removing location data.

Playing devil’s advocate, I think it was more because a) he wasn’t quite as “important” as he is today, maybe a bit too young even, and b) he wanted to come with his young wife, which had Epstein squirming to explain that maybe it isn’t the right kind of party for her 🤮
Also, the top 2 places in that department still go to Donny and Epstein himself.

Good stuff

I just read excerpts from a BBC article: he was so eager to go but got brushed off at least 3 times, with terms like “unfortunate” and “rescheduling”. Around 2012/2013.
