What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority?
ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles

Let's get into it: R&B songs used to have vulnerability. They used to have "please baby baby please!" They used to have singers out in extreme weather conditions dressed inappropriately for said conditions.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage

But we cannot have a reasonable discussion of AI without talking about who is making it and how.

We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.
