If you replaced “ai” with a cult name this would be the brainwashing/gaslighting stage of indoctrination.

Scary possibility: they simply can't function without it and don't understand how anyone could.

one of the many infuriating things about this is that if the authors of the amendment wanted it to apply exclusively to the formerly enslaved they had the capacity to do so! they would have written it that way! they didn't!
Sauer keeps saying the amendment was suppose to apply to "former slaves" but the actual text of the 14th amendment is "all persons born or naturalized in the united sates," i thought conservatives were big text guys

Angela Yang thinks that killing children is a tenet of Judaism
The interview comes on the heels of intensified scrutiny of Ms. Rachel, who has been accused of antisemitism by some online critics who take issue with her posts about Palestinian children.
Ms. Rachel doubles down support for children in Gaza
“It’s sad that people try to make it controversial when you speak out for children that are facing immeasurable suffering,” the YouTube educator said in a recent interview with Zeteo.

On June 6th 1944 our grandfathers fought fascists, to liberate the oppressed. In 1932 their fathers before them marched on Washington DC as the Bonus Army, to demand relief from economic hardship. June 6th 2025 on the National Mall in Wash.DC, join the Sons of Liberty. We are the Bonus Army.

Cutting federal funding to something meant to help kids in poverty is cruel. Don't let it happen.
