In fact, Meta clearly already has systems in place that can identify this type of violent child abuse content -- its own recommendation algorithm starts serving them up en masse as soon as you've watched a few! If it turned that tech toward moderation, the effects could be profound:
Lying about 9/11 is the latest in what should have been disqualifying occurrences. Any other president would be getting slammed for this
Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

I honestly can’t understand why Elon Musk’s X isn’t banned in the UK. It has become a poisonous vehicle for spreading hatred and dissension, and is run by a white supremacist agitator, who explicitly incites violence. Surely there is a criminal sanction for this?

Disgusting from @cnn.com given the actual rhetoric coming out of the whitehouse on a daily basis
BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

just a breathtaking self-own here from Ted Cruz
Cruz: "I'll tell you one of the big differences between Watergate & Arctic Frost -- when Nixon & his corrupt AG & corrupt administration abused their law enforcement powers to go after their political opponents, Republican senators stood up to the POTUS of their own party & defended the rule of law"

This is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit. www.cato.org/white-paper/...
Stephen Miller: "If all of this theft were stopped, it would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt."

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.” When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK? www.jewishnews.co.uk/reform-uk-su...

The IPC’s decision to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete under their national flags at the 2026 Paralympics is deeply regrettable. Allowing this while the invasion of Ukraine continues sends the wrong message and should be reconsidered. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy! When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship. There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.
This is where editorial writers can add context, but which the Post chose not to, like: *A majority GOP SCOTUS decided they could not block gerrymandering *Dems push anti-gerrymandering bills in Congress but can't get pass b/c GOP think they can benefit. Change the calculus, maybe they change.

Surprise, surprise. Yusuf talking nonsense. Here's the graph with pensions stripped out. The complete opposite of what he claims. Keep numbers away from Yusuf as you would fire from a toddler.
Don't know if this sort of rhetoric has caught up with the fact that Reform's base are the most dependent on welfare of any party's

They are unlawfully detaining people for First Amendment protected activities, as far as I can tell. Dragging people out of their vehicles absent witnessing a crime and without a judicial warrant is repugnant to our constitutional order.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis. The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
@repluna.bsky.social and the republicans are now pro CSAM.
