How do you guarantee it won't be scraped for AI? I would love to pass along a few heirloom photo/diary entries to the world, but I don't want to see it used as a ChatGPT answer.

Thank you for this thread. It is a lot to think about, but it also puts into words some of the unease I have had about the current stock market. And I am a semi-knowledgable investor.

At Pentecost (Acts 2), the outpouring of the Spirit included the ability to speak the many languages of the nations. The reversal of Babel is not uniformity in one language but the common understanding of many nations and languages. Unity in diversity. 🔥 2/2🧵 #Pentecost

it's just wild to think of how "if you don't know the answer to something, look it up" is just not a thing you can say anymore look it up WHERE Wikipedia is all we have left

Why is it hardest for the people who can't follow through for anything to have to jump through so very many hoops to get the meds they need to follow through on things?

That he has them to begin with? Divesting because of confirmation is a pretty low bar.

#BelieveTheWomen This is just one example of why women don't come forward after sexual assault. This is why an exception to abortion in the case of rape is meaningless. The brave who see it through find the system lets the man go with little consequence, while her life is (re)traumatized.

In an age when real journalism is being kicked to the curb by big media, there are still independent journalists with the integrity we need, that speak truth. This thread is about real journalism. #BelieveTheWomen

Good morning, beloved. Justice is what love looks like in practice. And love seeks restoration, not retribution. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

A must watch. A powerful video from Norway displays gender based inequality. The look of dismay & confusion on the girls' faces upon receiving less for the same task was a little painful. They agreed it was unfair. "Girls are not less than boys." Credit: Finansforbundet, Boss Women Magic #Pinks

My uncle was a ball turret gunner on a B17 bomber in WWII and was shot down over Belgium. He escaped back to England through the COMET line underground via a series of safe houses in France, walking across the Pyranees into Spain with Basque guides. 1/

Because Trump has a lot of "business" with the Saudis and India stopped taking their oil because Russian oil was cheaper. It's really about helping his middle eastern pockets.

There was no need to get her testimony in exchange for immunity. It was already in the files. "Millions" of records. Releasing her in any way is a slap in the face of the thousand+ victims she ruined the lives of. Believe the victims not the perpetrators.

Any rhetoric to the contrary is a coverup for the folks in power who don't want their own actions to be known. Believe the victims not the perpetrators.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous. Courage is contagious.

Tradition states that last night Jesus emptied out all the jails. Spent Saturday night telling people “I don’t care what you did, people weren’t made for prisons.” The next day to prove His point He broke out of solitary. It is finished. Easter is incompatible with the carceral state. Happy Easter.

Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and address an error in the last box where I'd gotten the manner of arrest wrong. I present the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the United States, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.

Full copy of Abrego timeline. Excerpted below in alt text:

TIMELINE
ABREGO GARCIA GANG ALLEGATIONS - SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION.

March 28, 2019: PGPD Arrest. Kilmar is arrested for loitering outside Home Depot while looking for day labor. A Prince Georges County PD detective grills him about whether he’s a gang member. He denies any involvement. Four hours later, he is transferred to ICE custody, without PGPD charging him for any offense.

April 2019: ICE Allegations: At a bond hearing, ICE claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. They submit one piece of evidence: a “Gang Field Interview Sheet” (GFIS) filled out by the PGPD detective that claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. The GFIS says (1) he was wearing Chicago Bulls gear, and (2) a “confidential informant” allegedly claimed that Kilmar was a ranking member of the “Westerns” clique, which is in Long Island, a place he has never lived in.

Summer 2019: Investigation: Kilmar’s lawyers reach out to PGPD to investigate these claims. They find out that (1) the police did not even file an incident report about his arrest, and (2) the detective that filled out the GFIS has been suspended for an unknown reason.

August 2019: IJ Decision: At his final bond hearing, ICE declines to offer any evidence of gang membership other than what’s in the GFIS. The IJ denies bond, finding that the GFIS is sufficient proof of membership at this time, despite noting its obvious flaws. Kilmar appeals this decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals.

December 2019: BIA Decision: Kilmar appeals the bond decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. The appeals board declines to find “clear error” in the immigration judge’s decision to rely on the GFIS document. However, he is released anyway because he had won withholding of removal.
