I was just looking at cute animal videos on insta bc I had a bad day emotionally and then I get this bullshit. It means the protests are working and they’re trying to flood the zone with lies

An image from insta reading “just in case you didn’t know bc of content suppression, Chicago gangs have declared war on ICE and the cartel has placed 10k bounties on the heads of ICE agents”

Better Schumer: We know these views are common among many young people in the GOP and that many of young activists have gone on to work in Congress, the White House and federal agencies.

I'm launching an investigation to root out Nazis from our government and I hope my GOP colleagues join me.

Sickening. Revolting. Vile. This makes you want to throw up.

This is the kind of garbage that the worst kind of people say when they think nobody is watching.

And where are Republican leaders from Trump on down condemning these comments swiftly and unequivocally!?

I’m waiting to hear it.

A headline from POLITICO reads: "‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat"

How can the American people trust their government is working on their behalf when White supremacists have so thoroughly infested the Republican Party? We need transparency and we need accountability. Anyone with White supremacist ties must be identified and fired immediately.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

notice how—even in the midst of all that—the border patrol agent is worried about his mask falling down.

as witnesses scream that the person is an american citizen, the agent can be heard barking, “then why are you running?”

they’re terrorizing communities all over chicagoland like this.

I would love to know why, in the wake of the news about Meta being cool with its chatbots grooming children and Grok's whole history, OpenAI did not see an easy & obvious PR win by leading with the announcement that their planned sexting feature had stringent anti-abuse guardrails.
