Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

ICE just deported an (undocumented) woman & her newborn (U.S. citizen) twins
She had missed a court hearing due to emergency C-section; when she called court to reschedule, was told to show up at another meeting site. When she did, she and her kids were arrested.

Hey @RandPaul — maybe not a great idea to install a guy as speaker who can’t get security clearances in part because of his ties to a murderous dictator who openly wants America’s economy to crash and the country to fall apart? 🤷🏻 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Oligarchs now own:

- the incoming President
- the majority of the Supreme Court
- half of Congress
- most of legacy and social media

They do not own:

- most of the American people
- our values
- our hope for better days...for all

This is our ground zero for the rebellion.

ABC News can fuck all the way off for settling with Trump and paying him $15M. The Judge called it rape. E. Jean Carroll called it rape.

Not only did ABC bow down to a fascist, they minimized survivors everywhere.

Discovery matters, cowards! 👇🏼

I was playing with Grok 2. I wanted to see what it could do.
I asked it to create a meme it thought could go viral, giving Trump a hard time for not keeping his promise to cut grocery prices. It was ok. Then I asked it to go dark. It’s response wasn’t what I expected lol

My ideal follow:

- smart, civil, willing to learn and challenge
- tough, has a thick skin, doesn't sweat the small stuff
- can look up basic things for themselves
- wants to fight back, find solutions, not cry and wallow in self pity

If you're it, lemme know.

I'm eager to follow all 4 of you.
