It's easy to get clicks from telling everyone that stormtroopers are going to surround every polling station in America, but vital action now includes making sure:

1) Everyone is registered
2) they haven't been purged if they WERE registered
3) they know what ID they need
4) they can get that ID

I’d love to get every single Democrat on board with “abolish ICE and dismantle DHS” but you’re going to need some votes from folks who don’t want to embrace that particular rhetoric and good news “there’s just too much corruption we’ve got to dismantle it to solve the problem” is sitting right there
gotta do investigations into DHS “waste, fraud and abuse” as pretext for killing the agency

lolz, I just realized that my pulmonologist appointment isn't exactly two weeks and I owe a $50 fee for changing my appointment date on top of the bill that I already owe. They will not let me see him if I do not pay the $50.

*sigh*

It’s so darned discouraging that no one can help my buddy, Karrie Higgins. I don’t want to slot disabled people into “worthy/unworthy” because everyone, obviously, is worthy, but cripes the toll of being sick and broke year after relentless year… People w reg pay just don’t get it. Pls help.

I absolutely knew this would only be treated like a real issue when it happened to a famous person or their kids.

We are peasants. We are barely real to corporations.
So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

Got 1st root canal appointment next week, hoping to make it without having to cancel again.

Making the appointment and building toward it is the only way we've had success in the last year so thats how we're trying to get me healthier.

Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

I’m just saying—charities looooove terms like “profound”. It gets them the abled dollars that families may or may not see. Do you really think this will actually result in families getting “streamlined” services?

Ask how many “level 3” families are getting all the supports they need now.

We should now prepare for shitloads of hysterical & uncontrolled remarks about ‘ISIS brides’ (teenagers, mostly at the time of their bloody awful decisions)

If including uhms and uhs was standard all journalism would be unreadable because every single speaking human uses those words constantly.

*occasionally* they will be included but only if the author feels they are factually necessary to highlight a speaker’s behavioral state.

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES.

This is extremely intentional.

If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
