What I still don’t get is that the stuff she has been accused of are stuff that most Trump cabinet members, appointees family members and Trump himself, engage in on a routine basis. So why go after her?

And screw those who are not part of the toxic culture? There are other meaningful measures including governance & fiscal reforms for transparency, ouster of the administration and Board of Trustees who have been covering up sexual abuse on campus, that can be adopted.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Anthropic models DO get jailbroken, but Constitutional AI makes them harder to breach than OpenAI. While OpenAI relies on standard RLHF & system prompts. Anthropic trains models to self-critique against core safety principles, hardening weights against basic prompt injection.

You know what really befuddles me… you Usaid folks care about all those people in other countries, and engagement and all that… all great things… but never see you doing anything for your contractors, who don’t have pensions, health insurance and all that stuff to land on.

Federal district court judges like Indira Talwani — who effectively stopped Trump's plan to use the US Postal Service to restrict mail-in voting — deserve the gratitude and appreciation of all Americans. They are holding the line against the authoritarian bullies who threaten our freedoms.

Fetterman is not only a terrible, lazy senator who was supported by his parents until his mid-40s, he’s just a garbage human being. No surprise he ended up as a regular Fox contributor where he feels most at home.

Measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. Now we’re at 2,700+ cases and Americans are dying. We had the vaccine, we had the science, and we had this under control. Then Trump put an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of America’s health. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Instead of relying on AI, you may want to research more & understand the interaction between race & poverty, and the specific racial variables that stand uninformed by poverty! As a public health expert, I can assure you, you have a lot more to learn. Also, what is meant by east/west coast!
