Sexual assault is on the rise. And recent examples in higher ed and across multiple industries, remind me how many grown men still apparently struggle with the concept of CONSENT.

These guys appear truly indifferent to societal ramifications. They're demanding immunity from liability yet this administration sees no red flags? Like this wouldn't happen with any other potential *wmd*, they built it, ignited it 💥 & then 🤷. Drop it like a hot potato. They've made their $$.

AI should have been seen as normal technology. But it has been marketed by soulless ghouls and deluded EA-religious fools, and I can't see any way this works out well. People keep thinking LLMs are alive or sapient and that's a really #BadIdea to believe in.

it's interesting because if I were to pick one thing to be "the project of journalism" it would be "speaking truth to power" but apparently this guy thinks it should be writing fawning little profiles instead

Yes. Some "experiential learning" seems quite appropriate 😁 No "noblesse oblige" with these guys. They feel entitled, deified, & demand impunity from their damnable actions while raking in the $bns & consolidating power. Clearly, their myopic societal pov has ramifications for all.

Minnesota is a visible flashpoint. It's a warning, not an anomaly. Fed immigration operations include violent confrontations, fatal shootings of Renée Good & Alex Pretti by ICE agents & numerous documented use-of-force incidents. Cruelty is the point.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

As a former athlete I also have favored the “ go team America” approach. Trump and MAGA Media have divided us into two competing teams though, which completely defeats the purpose of team unity through leadership. Putin’s directive to Trump-divide and conquer.

There were detention centers prior to 2012. You realize what occurred between 2012 & 2014? There are no excuses for having folks live in poor conditions. Full stop. Shouldn't we learn from the past and improve? Instead trump has become more inhumane in every aspect of his immigration policy.

Grace @grace55.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
We should learn from the past and do better. Yes, Obama was far from perfect but improved from the Bush policies. Has Trump improved the policies? The fact is trump's policies are more cruel & inhumane. Trump has degraded POC, especially brown & black immigrants while permitting white refugees.

Grace @grace55.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Why don’t you research your beliefs before sharing them? You blamed Obama for detention centers, the fact is they preexisted Obama. Now you pivot to "new construction"?😑Seriously.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.
