Salgado came from Mexico, built the American Dream, sent his sons to college, and was senselessly killed by ICE.

Watching episode of ER from 2001. Dr. Chen & Dr. Carter are trying to diagnose an unconscious preschooler. Carter: “Could be measles.” Chen: “Measles? Have you ever seen measles?” Carter: “No, have you?” Chen: “Of course not, nobody’s seen measles.” So far backwards in such a short time.

I think it’s extremely helpful to have Mayor Pete out there setting these markers for what the debate is going to look like I do not think he wins but he’ll have a presence in the race and to have someone outside the left lane pushing for SC expansion and DC statehood is important

Decided to pull out an important part of the interview. Generative AI is often justified with comparisons to the cost of Amazon Web Services ($57bn) or Uber's ($32bn) in losses, when its costs and losses are hundreds of billions of dollars worse. And there's no post-bubble redemption story.
