Meanwhile, THIS is what Congress is doing while the country BURNS to death. Yes, this IS a REAL bill from the Republicans licking Cramp’s ass! What’s even worse is that 11 Democrats HELPED them pass this WASTE OF TIME! VOTE THEM ALL OUT! This WAS one of Biden’s regulations.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul schools are offering virtual classes indefinitely while ICE is here for fear of ICE raids taking KIDS from SCHOOL! Kids shouldn’t have to worry about being KIDNAPPED FROM SCHOOL on a daily basis!

HELL YEAH!!

Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!

And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!

So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event

"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"

This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

WHY?! According to a question from tonight’s Hollywood Squares, China will soon require 6 year olds to ’learn’ AI?! There goes China’s dominance in learning skills. You’re going to make kids dumber, IDIOTS!

I’m very surprised by the huge celebrities that have been doing commercials lately. They must be getting huge payouts for them.

Is there a reason my search results for news often times only turn up Fox News stations and not any other of my local stations unless I actually specify the station? Why all the Fox stations? When did they turn up as top search results?!

Comic-con deciding to allow GenAi imagery in the art show —giving valuable space to GenAi users to show slop right NEXT to actual artists who worked their asses off to be there— is a disgrace!

A tone deaf decision that rewards and normalizes exploitative GenAi against artists in their own spaces!

This is a KID. Regardless of his 'status' as an American citizen or not, doing this to a child is INEXCUSABLE. There is no defense for this.

(And my son, who is the same age, wondered why I sent him a text warning him ice had been spotted near hai school.)
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Hmong people are not undocumented immigrants
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

In case anyone was still under the delusion that embracing the model minority stereotype & throwing other BIPOC under the bus keeps Asian Americans off the radar of these bigoted fascist thugs.

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

And what did the Montgomery Bus Boycotter's have? 50,000 people walked, organized carpools, helped each other get to school and work and errands for over a year. Protests aren't just funny signs, they're work.

I told Mom we shouldn’t shop at the Asian grocery stores near the Capital building anymore. With ICE looking for Asians in Saint Paul, it’s not safe to go there anymore. Luckily, there’s a small Asian grocery store near us that we can go to instead.
