Hot take, but no one should be using ChatGPT and any AI products in general.
OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to MAGA Inc in 2025.

There's a push to boycott ChatGPT, that tool is now added to StopICEToday.com
I gathered a few resources you can use & take action with to protect your communities from ICE:

Just realized that the Little Mermaid's two best friends are named Flounder and Scuttle, which are also two bad things that can happen to a person at sea. Someone at Disney had some unauthorized fun.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

“The state keeps killing us to instill a warning & then shows us videos of its agents doing it.”

Police killings are warnings that say, “You will be next if you don’t stay in your place,” wrote @williamcson.bsky.social. To disrupt the state's monopoly on violence, we must abolish the police.
Police killings are public executions
Abolishing the police requires recognizing police killings as a fascistic tool and breaking cycles of fear and complacency

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Dems voting in favor: Durbin, Hassan, Kaine, Shaheen, and Whitehouse.

“Abolish” or “defund” aren't within grasp in 2026. But where are:

- End qualified immunity
- Rewrite use-of-force so this crap isn't ruled “within policy”
- Overturn July 8 mandatory detention memo
- Reinstate TPS
- Open up detention centers, enforce humane conditions

He doesn’t even *ask* for it.
Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown:
1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants
2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents
3. No more masks & require bodycams

There are *already* standards on much of this.

The issue is DHS isn't following them!

And now because of targeted disinformation, children, immunocompromised people, elderly folks, and so many others become victims in this proxy war and we have a new avoidable pandemic.

It's weird how after every good thing/gain (even if we don't call it a victory) people circle up to insist we shouldn't celebrate. Celebrating is not how people give up, in my experience; believing we can't win, never win, and have no power is (with a side of joylessness).
I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

One way they do this is with a caution that sounds like "yes the dragon was slain BUT DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE OTHER DRAGONS?" We do. Or they jump ahead to anticipate the next problem: "yeah but have you ever disposed of dragon remains?"

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.
They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.
Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week
Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

OK. Now that this is as confirmed as it’s gonna get -

Has anyone thought to contact Call of Duty to ask them what they think about their players perpetrating things like this & name dropping their game?

Are they OK with it? Will they publicly condemn this shooter?
Kanew: “One clapped. Another said it was like playing a video game. The way they are brazenly lying about Alex Pretti shows how full of 💩 they were about Renee Good. We are far off the cliff here, folks… Shame on anyone who tells you not to believe your own eyes.”
