Thought I'd take the opportunity of Oklahoma's attacks on public education getting national headlines to do a #thread on their GOP state superintendent of schools, Ryan Walters. Because hooooo boy the sledgehammer to the separation of church and state is just the beginning. (1/x) Oklahoma state superintende... Walters took office earlier this year as superintendent, after serving as Secretary of Education under Governor Kevin Stitt (also GOP). He briefly held both roles, and while secretary was ALSO on the payroll of a non-profit funded by school privatizers. readfrontier.org/stories/billio…

This piece from @JohnGHendy is a bracing enough read on its own, and it doesn't even get to what is imho one of the biggest dangers: not just the use of AI to spread lies, but the way the existence of AI can be used to cast doubt on the truth, theatlantic.com/politics/archi… Imagine, for instance, Donald Trump's audio-recorded confession of sexual assault. In the coming years, when a story with that kind of evidence comes out, the politician in trouble will be uniquely positioned to brazen their way out of it by claiming it's faked.

Interesting reaction from a big name on the wingnut right. So that's Cernovich. Silence so far from Monica Crowley, Molly Hemingway, Charlie Kirk, Jesse Kelly, Tim Young, etc.

Tim Pool is mostly focused on spreading his mix tape.

Jack Posobiec has cracked the case, though.

It would be premature at this point to congratulate Chaya Raichik/@LibsOfTikTok for getting exactly what she wanted.

After all, just bc she's generated violent threats towards a children's hospital, using violence to try and shut them down, doesn't mean THIS threat is on her. It's important that we let the process play out before we discuss how stochastic terrorism is responsible for this *specific* threat, and how the use of and encouragement of violence against trans folks and their supporters has been mainstreamed/normalized by the right wing.
