Senate Democrats’ ICE Proposals Are a Huge and Inexcusable Whiff
Their opening bid should have been eight or 10 bold proposals. But as usual, the Democrats start by negotiating with themselves.

I can’t boycott what I don’t use, but if you are using OpenAI maybe stopping for a while could make an impact.
The simplest way to get Trumps attention is thru economic action
What could we do?
Boycott OpenAI
If a double digit number of users did this it would cause a crash in the market
The American market is currently propped up by AI and values predicated on increasing subscribers

Not so much each other as non-whites. MAGA can’t imagine white people caring for non-white people.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

I returned to work this week after some time off recovering from a hernia repair surgery, which means I’ve returned to assessing/observing drop-off and pick-up procedures at all of the schools in our district. Seeing the community come together to keep our students safe gives me hope.

Our 2-year-old has been OBSESSED with the Dalmatian doggy in the fire station at the Minnesota Children’s Museum for six months now—it’s the first thing she looks for every time we arrive & we had to buy a duplicate to keep in the car to prevent meltdowns when we leave.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
