So as we unthinkingly turn the running of our precious world over to AI at the behest of billionaire man-boys who are leering date rapists at best & rapacious neo-Nazis at worst, my phone's AI has:

Hey, @scoutprime.bsky.social, I got some super blurry video of Snow Buntings today. I'm only posting this terrible cellphone video because I just wanted to prove to you that I saw Snow Buntings. 😆

Why does everything seem like it’s always getting worse, I ask, living in a society totally controlled by idiot racist child abusers.

We aren’t just a few quick hacks away from a livable system. The oligarchs will have to dispossessed & permanently driven out of existence to get off of this fucking fascist merry-go-round.
The regime-affiliated oligarchs who bought up Twitter, the Washington Post, CBS, and TikTok didn't do so to turn a profit.

They are taking control of the media to limit the public's ability to resist authoritarianism and oligarchy. If they run the outlets into the ground, that's fine.

I'd forgotten what a cowardly, Nazi, Trump-fellating piece of shit Eric Metaxas is. This sniveling toad calls himself a Christian & yet 1st c. Eric would have been smooching Nero's ass daily for nothing but a vicarious thrill in the cruelty and state violence against actual followers of Christ.

Due Process is for all "persons."
#GVerse So Republican Alabama Rep.Barry Moore held a town hall in Baldwin County where he was asked why immigrants aren’t getting due process & he said they aren’t allowed it & his constituents let him know he was full of crap & it’s a violation of the Constitution & he fled out the back

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

No, we need to abolish immigration detention.
Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.
Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

This reminds me of a bleak Arctic listening post where people spent long winter nights looking for signs of a Soviet missile launch, wondering why those people saw us as enemies and wanted our deaths and unconditional surrender.

Now we wonder the same about our fellow Americans.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

This can't be "reformed"
