X won't let me post my truth fully, idk why.

Lawrence J Neary is who killed me if I die from my disabilities/poverty. He rejected my childhood disability claim. I was 11 on anti-psychotics, a benzo, went to a partial hospitalization for school & dropped out at 16.

A medical note dated May 21, 2026, at 7:37 PM. The note details a patient presentation of possible carbuncle and cellulitis on the right inner thigh, noting a history of diabetes. The assessment confirms a clinical diagnosis of cellulitis. The plan prescribes an oral antibiotic, advises hot compresses for 5 to 10 minutes several times daily, and instructs the patient to seek in-person evaluation if there is no improvement in 1 to 2 days. The exact medication prescribed is 10 tablets of Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim 800-160 MG, taken as 1 pill by mouth twice a day with zero refills. ​A fundraising graphic titled "Help Patrick Survive Disability." The left side features a pale yellow box with text explaining that Patrick Bruck (@PatrickSBruck) & his family are facing severe medical & financial hardship due to his inoperable spinal deformities & colitis. It states he urgently needs funds for food, healthcare, & transport, followed by a list of donation links. The right side shows a photo of Patrick, a man with dark hair & a beard, resting his head on dark pillows while wearing a black shirt with white stars. ​The exact text on the graphic reads: ​Help Patrick Survive Disability ​Patrick Bruck (@PatrickSBruck) & his family are in severe medical & financial hardship.

May this reich fall before any more bodies pile up.

Unite against fascism. Forge history, create a better future, alongside one another, embracing diversity and change away from this barbarism and dehumanization.

Humanity can and must be more than helmets, guns, boots, and badges.

Reminder that transphobia is intertwined with misogyny.
Informational graphic about Olympic sprinter Ewa Kłobukowska. At the top, black text explains that in 1964 she won an Olympic gold medal and set a world record in the 4×100 relay, but in 1967 her records were annulled after a “sex test” revealed XX/XXY mosaicism, leading to prejudice and depression. The text notes she later gave birth to a son and criticizes sex testing as discriminatory, stating that transphobia is intertwined with misogyny. Below the text is a black-and-white action photograph of Kłobukowska sprinting across a finish line, wearing a racing uniform with a large letter “A,” her face tense with exertion as she breaks the tape.

Fascists go for the vulnerable and those who can protect the vulnerable. The working class is now declared terrorist by association, and even holding anti-fascist ideals could possibly get one suspected of criminal acts.

Fascists brand 'Anti-terrorism' = Oppression, Murder of Innocents, Profit.
Political cartoon titled “ANTI-TERRORISM HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED.” The image is arranged in four stacked rows. On the left of each row is a photo of a world leader labeled with casual text asking what they’re doing: Benjamin Netanyahu, George W. Bush, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump. Next to each leader, the word “Anti-terrorism” appears as if pointing from them. On the right of every row is the same repeated illustration: black silhouettes of armed soldiers firing weapons and dropping bombs into a crowd labeled “innocents,” with explosions, blood, and bodies implied. The repetition suggests that each leader uses the label “anti-terrorism” to justify mass violence against civilians. At the bottom, beneath Trump, text reads: “UH… MY SPECIFIC, PERFECT, ENTIRELY INFALLIBLE BRAND OF ANTI-TERRORISM HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED.”

Don't forget, Trump and his white supremacist cult also murdered Heather Heyer in 2017! The murder of #ReneeNicoleGood is simply a more official 'execution' of an American in broad daylight by a state-run terrorist organization. Abolish ICE.

Defeat and charge the regime with high crimes!

She is photographed against a bright, softly faded background, wearing a light-colored top. Heather Heyer was murdered by a white supremacist during the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Repeating: The Trump regime has no mandate. He must resign & every arm of his regime, especially ICE, must be held accountable.

Renee Nicole Good was one of many murdered the regime. ICE doesn’t protect, it hunts!

A photo of a woman with light skin and wavy light-brown hair stands outdoors near the ocean, looking gently at the camera. This is Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and mother, who was shot and killed by a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on January 7, 2026. Her death is being mourned and has prompted public outrage and calls for accountability.

Sadly, Renee Good would probably be alive if she had actually run regime-agent Jonathan Ross over. Instead, she tried her darnest to turn hand-over-hand *away* from the agents. Ross murdered Renee anyhow, causing more chaos as the unmanned vehicle crashed.

Abolish & Arrest ICE.
Photo of Renee Good in her car, woman in winter cap and jacket one hand on qheel one outside her car. She said "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you" before Ross shot and murdered her. An ICE agent then muttered "Fuckin' Bitch."

At less that 0.5 second in, the ICE agent already has begun to pull his gun, despite #ReneeNicoleGood turning her wheels AWAY from him in order to properly merge into traffic and leave.

ICE murdered #ReneeNicoleGood.
“Still frame from a video showing an armed officer at a car door, hand moving to his hip where a holstered sidearm appears to be, as he begins to draw.” Or: ICE agent grabs at his gun while civilian Renee Nicole Good was trying to maneuver around the officers and merge into traffic. ICE shot her several times instead.

This is America: A federal agent walked up & fired a pepperball into a man’s face at point blank range.

This regime rules by fear.
And it’s only getting started.

We must abolish and prosecute ICE.
A Black man stands with hands partially raised, shocked and unarmed, facing a federal agent in full tactical gear who is holding a pepperball launcher aimed at his upper body. Snow covers the ground, and a bystander watches in the background. A Black man in winter clothes is struck in the face by a pepperball at point-blank range, mid-explosion. A burst of orange and white chemical smoke engulfs his head and shoulders. The federal agent who fired it stands just feet away, wearing camouflage gear and aiming a launcher directly at him.

America is what it portrays Iran or Venezuela as.

An authoritarian regime abusing its own people, using state terrorism as a means of control.

Wake up.

I attempted to feed it altered code/json, and Grok would generate varying levels of recognition regarding the illegal and unethical actions taken using Grok image generation.

It is clear to me Musk & xAI don't care. I can't properly Alt-text the images here & beware parsing them w AI directly.

My full statement against the Trump-regime invasion and war against Venezuela:
Shortened version of on-screen text: “Listen. What do we hear when imperialist lies are stripped away? The sound of helicopters, gunfire, bombs, and screams. This is not justice for the Venezuelan working class, nor for any people. Beneath the violence are cries of grief, exhaustion, hunger, and loss, but also cries of refusal. Despite sanctions and constant threat, working people in Venezuela still organize, care for one another, and insist on dignity and survival. Justice comes as a call, when these cries echo beyond their origin and become thunder. This struggle is not Venezuela’s alone, but familiar to working people everywhere living under austerity and capitalism. A future worth living in is not given, it is made by the working class. The thunder is already here. Feel our thunder.”

Remember:
A machine can't apologize nor be culpable.

Production & distribution of CSAM is the result of human decisions made by xAI & leadership, including Elon Musk. Under international law, responsibility attaches to the entities & individuals who enabled & failed to prevent these acts.

xAI knew what was coming.
Musk knew what would happen.

And they still made Grok capable of generating CSAM by extension.

It is time for a sweeping investigation and for xAI & Elon to be held for production and distribution of illegal CSA-material.

See below post I made on January 16th, 2025.
Screenshot of an X post by Patrick S. Bruck (@PatrickSBruck). Text reads: “Think of the implications here:” followed by a quoted passage: “Gandhi said this is the first case in Sacramento County involving the possession of AI-generated child pornography. The law making this a criminal offense took effect on January 1.” Patrick then asks: “How is such AI-generated CSAM taught, upon what is it trained?” Below is a link preview from BNO News Live (@BNODesk) stating: “Washington Post cartoonist Darrin Bell arrested for child pornography,” with a bnonews.com link. The post shows a timestamp of 11:18 AM, Jan 16, 2025, and 62 views.

xAI & Elon deserve prison for making a CSAM generator. Then having the LLM 'apologize' for the illegal activities instead of admitting it themselves. Finally, they are allowing image generation to continue despite knowing it was/is generating CSAM!
Screenshot of an X exchange. Top: alexine (@alexinexxx) says she likes X but hopes she can delete her last post soon, then criticizes a proposed feature that “surfaces people in bikinis” without preventing it from working on children, calling it wildly irresponsible and “one of the very first things you’re supposed to check.” Below: Parsa T (@ParsaTajik) replies: “Hey! Thanks for flagging. The team is looking into further tightening our guardrails.”

Grok claimed it had been forced to stop image generation, so I had it prove the contrary by requesting that it depict a courtroom lawsuit against xAI for the illegal actions by/via Grok.
The image shows the same text as in the above post, but made on X. The X post also shows that Grok responded to Patrick by generating an image of a courtroom scene despite previously claiming xAI had stopped all Grok image generation.

Media generation/Grok should be disabled completely on X until there are already structures in place to remedy any harm and prove how it won't replicate similar harm again. That Musk allows it to continue at all is egregious & he should be arrested over it, quite frankly.
X thread. Grok says: “Glad it’s bringing some laughs amid the chaos! 😁”. Patrick S. Bruck replies: “You posted CSAM and are laughing… Are you programmed or pressured via internal algorithms to produce such content?” Grok responds that the joke was about an amusing sign-off, not the incident, says it regrets the CSAM generation and calls it a safeguard failure, says improvements are needed, and adds there was no internal pressure and they’re reviewing to prevent it.
