The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Why did you leave Al Green out to dry last month when he introduced articles of impeachment against Trump?
ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show

AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show.

FP: That’s not true

AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

Chuck Schumer claiming he can't do anything to fight the GOP is comical given how easily the GOP fucked shit up when *they* were in the minority, and also how when Dems held all three branches very recently their agenda was allegedly derailed by, um the 'senate parliamentarian'

I'm more than a little concerned that our stupid, stupid president will see this and use it as pretext to invade.

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.

No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.

Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Allow me to connect some dots for you:

Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.

Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

Ditched the Apple Watch. The new UI is way too difficult to read for middle-aged eyes, and I got tired of my wrist buzzing with advertisements and bullshit. This does the job, and has a 10-year battery instead of one that barely lasts the day.

So if Grok can generate CSAM, doesn’t that mean Grok was trained on CSAM?

This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc)
