I don’t think we should allow the secret police to round people up and sort them by race
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

You wouldn't know the theater, it goes to school in a different town.
Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

I have discovered a deep truth of microblogging and that is some posters are better when filtered through the reposts of other people you follow.

This is a fantastic and thought provoking thread.
"When in doubt, draw a distinction."
Not sure where he got it, but in grad school one of my teachers taught me that.
This (long) thread is about the key distinctions I rely on as a critic. There's a Twitter version from 2021. This one builds on that one.
I will post them one at a time. Ready?

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

I would 1000% not be surprised if Musk ends up creating mechanical Turk slavery by proxy.
Musk has claimed Tesla's Optimus robots will sell in the billions and add up to $20 trillion to the company’s market capitalization at some point in the future.
Tesla kills Models S and X to build humanoid robots instead
EVs that were once industry-leading have long since been left behind.

My father left Nigeria for Greece, then to the U.S

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.
