“We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return. The debate here isn’t whether to have these programs, but how to improve them.”

Today we have the hindsight of the horrific "disappearances" of the Nazi era as well as others PLUS the technology to communicate, uncover and react in real time. Heartening to a community and their leader push back so vigorously and show how it's done. Don't let them operate in the shadows. 👏👏

It's not only greed.There's no way to overstate their sense of entitlement to impose their vision of the future on humanity. Full of zeal and yet completely devoid of moral clarity. Since the AI race began all guardrails are off. Don't expect them to do anything to address the information hellscape.

I hear you and have no illusions about moral superiority; like it or not they're in power. IMHO if you look at your congress as an immovable block and lost cause without looking more closely you're not putting pressure where it matters. In my experience when there's a little softness u push harder.

Every single word of this. Keep fighting and speaking up for the innocent in all of this @vanhollen.senate.gov This is man made and can be stopped if there's a will. Every day and every hour counts.

Thank you Senator Hollen for speaking up and taking action We will be looking back at the systematic starvation of innocents. Humanity first politics second. 😭

💯 don't let it slip. Such a tired, predictable and horrific playbook. What's wrong with humanity that it keeps producing these abhorrent movements leading to misery, death and disaster for victims and perpetrators?

They're probably the only people pedantic enough to claim a lifetime warranty>30 yrs after purchase 😂

Devastating to think that any adult in a position of global power would write something as insanely cringy and hyperbolic as this. It's an insult to those of us who want to evolve and thrive as more enlightened societies. Doesn't even matter whether this was tongue in cheek or up ass tbh ...🤢
