Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Ah yes artists, famously undedicated to their work, never obsessive, who don’t understand {checks notes} creating things.

This shit right here is why people hate you AI assholes. Myopic and arrogant.

You’re not creating or iterating anything? You literally invented a soulless box to do it for you.

My timeline is half leftists complaining about Gavin Newsom and half liberals complaining about Graham Platner and I'd like to propose that we launch both of them into the sun together.

There's a *very specific recent example* of how obsessing over a bro-y video and thin resume while ignoring red flags doesn't end well in the Senate!

If an issue only impacts the bottom quintile in the US do people understand that’s 60 million people. Like that’s a lot of people or do you just not view them as human beings

I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.
You ever stop and think about CASABLANCA? You ever stop and think about "Welcome back to the fight, this time, I know our side will win?" You ever think about a bar full of people defiantly singing La Marseillaise, played by a soundstage full of Jewish refugees? You ever think about CASABLANCA??????

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

This is something congress can fix and must fix.

It's real simple. Pass a law that says "in immigration cases, a habeas petition may be brought in the district of arrest of brought within 3 months of the initial arrest"
So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?

It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
