I can’t think of a more compelling reason for DC Statehood than, “Involuntarily occupied unnecessarily by an army of non-local soldiers bearing rifles.” Real old school Gadsden flag shit.

We found something similar when we compared LLMs to pharmacy students using a script concordance model (which deliberately tests non-binary questions):

When chatbots are given complete information on medical conditions, they typically spit out correct diagnoses and recommendations.
Actual patients, however, often describe their conditions with incomplete or irrelevant information and the chatbots cannot handle it.

Democrats should really ne making loud connections between "the Epstein class is in charge and covering up mass sex crimes" and "they are separating teen girls from their family to hold them alone" in the public eye
An agent told the teen to call her family and ask them to pick her up. But the agent said that if they came, ICE would send the entire family to Texas. The girl writes “My family decided not to come and pick me up as a result of this threat. ICE decided to take me to a hotel.”

When we get out the other side of this, we should think seriously about making signs like this permanent, like the plaques in Paris that tell you that you're standing on the exact spot where a resistance fighter was shot down by the Nazis in 1944.

House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:
"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.
Anyway, yeah. The overwhelming impression one gets from so many of these emails is that a lot of them are guys who have never had a real, serious friendship with a woman in their lives.
Which sucks for them, but also sucks for every woman who has to deal with them, ever.
