Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Trump signs into law an unpopular, regressive bill that will take health care away from tens of millions of Americans and cut food assistance, and redistribute those funds for tax cuts geared for the wealthy

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

incredibly important that he and everyone else frame it that way. we do need to fight for Abrego Garcia but we also cannot let that be the end of resistance against this lawless historic crime occurring at the behest of a Republican junta.

LMAO - White House said it was Harvard's fault that they did not pick up to verify a letter that the admin said was coming, was on govt letterhead, and signed by three agency officials.

Also, the administration stands by the letter. Which was a mistake.

What a clown show.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

The reason you can tell it’s AI is because Pikachu would be on the side of the fascist military because he knows nothing aside from practicing conformity to perpetuate existing systems unlike Meowth who challenges social conventions and the role of Pokémon in human society
As a real video of someone in a Pikachu suit at a protest goes viral, an AI-generated “photo” is fooling a lot of people.
