ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

In 2023, I interviewed the parents who organized this effort to oust Moms for Liberty. If you want to know more — and maybe learn from them! — check it out.
Congrats to them for getting rid of them all!

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

“There’s too many Americans on SNAP!”
Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.
Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they don’t pay them enough to survive.
The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

In my inexpert view, the grift is on so hard in DC right now so that the bad actors can gain capital and change it to Crypto before they tank the American dollar. This will position them to enrich themselves at a staggering rate and control the new currency.

Of course they erased it. He called them out as traitors to the oaths they took, and he was right to, and they knew it, but don’t want to hear it.
North Carolina Democrats should run this as a commercial on local television stations.

This video of the "ICE" agent [?] with no ID, who thinks claiming to be in the DHS means he's allowed to drive his kids around drunk answers two questions:
1. Many ICE agents probably *are* just cosplaying vigilantes with issues; and
2. Many think claiming to be ICE means they can disobey laws.

Divorced, whiny ICE goon gets arrested for driving drunk with his kids in the car.
He acts like he’s above the law, stating, “I’m Federal.” He also confronts one of the arresting officers, asking, “Are you Haitian?” And makes a big deal out of getting an answer because, "It does matter!"
