When he was 17, Jackson Leggett of Kendall County made a joke in class, and his teacher and principal had him thrown in juvie and charged with a felony. Now he's suing them, and the district, for malicious prosecution. Read about the case here: www.loevy.com/press-releas...

In honor of her being booted, here is Kristi Noem is telling feds to "hammer" protesters for "the way that they're talking, who they're affiliated with, who they're funded with, and what they're talking about." It's not that easy to get so much contempt for the First Amendment into a single speech.

Roberto Calvario should still be alive. The officer claimed he shot Roberto Calvario because he (the officer) was being dragged by the car. What the video reportedly shows is that the car didn't start moving until AFTER Off. Salazar shot Roberto in the back of the head.

Proving the adage that even a broken clock is right twice a day, it turns out that X's Grok AI knows exactly what you should do if you want to sue X over Grok...

Screenshot of an X post to Grok, and Grok's answer:

QUESTION: from Foreva Fella (@ForevaFella)

Hey @grok how can users get together to sue X and xAI for:
•Negligence (failure to implement safeguards)
•Product liability (defective AI system)
•Defamation
•False light
•Right of publicity
•State civil claims tied to non-consensual imagery
•Civil damages

ANSWER: from Grok (@grok)

To pursue a class action lawsuit against companies like X or xAI for issues like negligence, product liability, defamation, or non-consensual imagery, follow these steps based on legal resources:

1. Consult attorneys specializing in AI/tech law (e.g., firms like The Lyon Firm or Loevy & Loevy, which handle AI class actions).

2. Gather evidence of harm, such as affected imagery or posts.

3. File a complaint in federal or state court, citing claims under laws like the TAKE IT DOWN Act or product liability statutes.

4. Seek class certification if multiple users are impacted.

Success varies; Section 230 may limit platform liability. I'm not a lawyer—get professional advice.
