Care is the holy grail of automation. Because we need it to survive, but it's too labor-intensive to be profitable, even as it gets more expensive. And because we could make it a public good, but only by raising taxes on billionaires.
So, be *very* skeptical when they claim AI can replace care.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Once again, the President is trying to divide instead of unite. His purported attempt to remove Temporary Protected Status for Somalis specifically in Minnesota should not be tolerated and is likely illegal.
