This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Sexual assault is a violent crime—not a mistake deserving a slap on the wrist. When offenders receive light sentences or prosecutors decline charges despite sufficient evidence, the message to survivors is devastating: your trauma matters less than his future. #Pinks 📨✨ — Pinks Global

A lie does not become truth because millions believe it. Wrong does not become right because the majority accepts it. And evil does not become good because enough people choose to look the other way. The masses can make evil normal. It can never make it right.

Anthony Albanese stands in front of flags during a press conference. 
Anthony Albanese says an OpenAI agent hacked a Medicare statistics reporting service portal.

In short: 
The prime minister has had a "frank" discussion with OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman after an AI agent breached an Australian government website. 

The company did not notify Services Australia of the incident until three months after the fact, via email.

Last month, @gillianbrockell.com reported that not only does ICE abuse immigrants by shackling them for hours on end, they also torment them with mockery and denying bathroom breaks.
Then a man from Eritrea or Somalia, Barry isn’t sure which, began to beg the guards to let him use the lavatory. Barry chimed in with an appeal to decency, telling the guards, “Please consider us as human beings.” But the guards were boisterous by that point, he said, and they didn’t appreciate the man’s increasingly loud and desperate pleas crashing their party.

Barry watched as a guard turned and looked at the man dead in the face and said, “You. Can pee on. You.” Another guard laughed.

“After seeing that, I just kept my head down,” Barry, 52, told me over the phone last week.
