Let me use MAGA logic & agree with them for a thought experiment.
The National Guard shooter is an Afghan national, so we must deport all Afghans & Muslims & stop immigration.
OK.
Trump's failed assassins were 2 white men. White men are the #1 domestic shooters in America.
So, deport all whites?

👀 I remember this.
Loomer is particularly dangerous in a breaking news situation. Before Thanksgiving 2023 there was an explosion at the U.S.-Canada border. It turned out to be a medical incident or mechanical problem or both.
Loomer sent several unhinged tweets insisting it was terrorism. They’re still up.

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

I'll never get over Bob Woodward, in the early covid days, taping an interview with Trump where he admitted how dangerous the virus was.
And instead of save lives, he saved it all for his book.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.
And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.

Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)
