I'm not minimizing any of the countless other reasons he should be drafting his resignation.
It's that he said this to a woman. In her workplace. In front of her colleagues. While she does her job.
It's a disgrace. He owes her an apology, and so do all of his voters, frankly.

I don’t want to live in a world where people believe that others are incapable of change. What does that say about our own capacity for positive change? That’s it’s a lie? A fantasy?

Ah yes, in Germany they called this "lebensraum"
But one thing that's important to note: this was their policy back during the campaign too even as people believed for some reason that they would only deport crininals

Umm al Kheir is at imminent risk of forced displacement after mass demolition orders from Israel civil administration. MSF calls on Israel to end coercive measures aimed towards annexation including settler violence, often carried out under army protection and home demolitions.

We get questioned a lot on why aren't hacking X, Y or Z. We've done that. In an era of lies, it doesn't seem to concern them as much. Your raised fist does! We don't need to hack sh*t for you to know that your fist should be raised. Raise it high and bring these f*cks to the justice they deserve!

Just watched John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness and then looked up the WH official website to verify the Door Dash stat reference and, folks, I felt like I was still watching that movie. That is not normal.

Just came across a pre-print paper that analyzes an AI boyfriend subreddit. There are images from the subreddit that appear to be real people. (Since you can use generative AI to create a new image based on a photo.) There's an ethics statement: "public subreddits carry no privacy expectations" :-\

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.
