Google Left in ‘Terrible Bind’ By Pulling AI Feature After Right-Wing Backlash
Google tried using a technical fix to reduce bias in a feature that generates realistic-looking images of people. Instead, it set off a new diversity firestorm.

Cw: discussion of #transphobia; JKR; politics and power
Someone in a Facebook group I'm in asked:
"What the f☆☆k has JK Rowling got to do with removing the appalling Zionist Keir Starmer & the rest of our neoliberal NATO supporting warmongering parliamentary representatives from power?
Asking for a very angry feminist socialist lesbian disabled 70 year old."
I thought this was actually a deceptively good question, so I thought I'd share my answer here...
The thing to understand is that trans rights and trans healthcare are being used as a 'wedge issue' by the right wing: something to divide and distract us while they get on with their usual business of plundering everybody.
Rowling, as a billionaire with a huge platform and a great deal of time on her hands, has done more than practically anybody else to drive this wedge deeper.
Like every scapegoating campaign used by the right - against gay people, immigrants, minorities, benefits claimants and so on - the anti-trans moral panic has serious, material consequences for its targets.
The ones who benefit from these hate campaigns (and often fund them, directly or indirectly) are largely indifferent to the harm caused; the distraction and division are the main points, but stoking fear and hatred are time-worn methods of achieving those.
Hope this helps!

Right-wing media spread conspiracy theories about Baltimore bridge collapse
After Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge was struck by a cargo ship and collapsed, right-wing media figures baselessly claimed that the incident was a terrorist or cyber attack. Some right-wing media figures used the tragedy to continue their ongoing crusade against diversity initiatives, blaming the collision and collapse on DEI initiatives or "a wide open border" without any evidence. 

The right wing rhetoric encompassed in GOP Speaker Mike Johnson inaugural speech:
“They're coming to a neighborhood near you”.
This idea that immigrants are inherently frightening is a key part of the Republican discussion of the border, given that it heightens a sense of urgency and failure regarding the administration.
Johnson described speaking to agents at the border:
“They noted that we are experiencing a surge — listen to this — of military-aged single men …

"Left" is an interesting concept. Applied to right-wing politicians the Latin 'sinister' is the proper version; applied to many a left-wing politician it may be more appropriate to use the French 'gauche'.

Politics (in general)
If you ever needed a short answer on how right-wing politics differs from the left-wing politics:
The essence of right-wing politics is the conviction that it is the most important to help the rich (and other privileged people), because if they became even more sickly rich, it is bound that some of that will finally start trickling down on everyone. And if it doesn't, then it's all fault of the people who aren't white cis hetero males — of given nationality, faith and right-wing views.
On the other hand, the left-wing views are based on weird ideas such as that all people are equal, nobody should be privileged and that everyone deserves to live.
