This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.

But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

In honor of the fact that we have now shipped 100,000 whistles in February (yes, in FEWER THAN FOUR DAYS) I would like to celebrate by sharing a glimpse of what it is like to be in the group chat. 🤣

Given that any "training" or "practice" mandate imposed on ICE will depend on the Klansmen and Nazis of the Trump administration following through, I don't understand why the top priority for Democrats is not *taking away money* from ICE. It is the biggest source of actual leverage.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is so disgusting to be so cavalier about measles. We know exactly what happens when unvaccinated people get it. That’s why we have the vaccine, and pretending that any of this will yield any new, useful knowledge is monstrous
RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

There are people in Minnesota who are violating the law, and it's the people who are flash-banging babies, shooting people who pose no threat, and deploying tear gas against peaceful crowds.
The way to end the violence in Minnesota is for ICE to stop committing violence against Minnesotans.

On one side of the ““trans debate”” you have proven, lifesaving treatment that prevents children from being suicidal and brings joy to lots of people, and on the other side you have unapologetic bigots who want to ruin other people’s lives out of spite. That’s pretty much it.

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

there is no centrism when innocent people are murdered in the streets by our government.
you either support women being shot in the head by ICE agents OR you support democracy & liberation.
the choice should be obvious, which side are you on?

This is an extreme form of remote sexual harassment that can now be used to target anyone, regardless of platform, in seconds. Despite news stories focusing mostly on CSAM it's still unchecked and rampant on Twitter.

I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.
