In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This beautiful child, an American citizen just like his parents, is being bullied because Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and white supremacy feels emboldened to act without shame. This hatred is taught and it is wrong.

Every MLK Day I share this photo of the day my dad decided to join the freedom rides. A reminder that fear is always present in resistance and it’s natural to feel that fear in the face of the worst of humanity. But it’s also a reminder that fear won’t win. We will. I promise

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

My undergrad physiology professor at CofC studied the impacts of pollution and climate change on shrimp, which is good science on itsown but is also important industry for SC. To study their metabolism, they had to build a treadmill for the shrimp. That treadmill wound up on one of these lists.
Not only has Rand Paul increased this cost by a factor of 10,000, there was actually useful science behind the research as I explained in 2021.

She's also the 7th case we’ve found of a pregnant woman in a state restricting abortion who died after being unable to access standard care.

This is her story.

The seized his phone (which had video of the whole encounter) and when he got out of hospital he used Find My Phone to track it to a "vending machine for used electronics" near the ICE detenetion center. Seems too fast for government processing of seized property, suggests an ICE agent did it.
