I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Y'all, it matters that journalists are being arrested on US soil for existing as journalists. Remember when we told y'all fascist regimes look a particular way. This is that.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Don Lemon is one of FOUR Black journalists arrested.
This is fascism.

Ok but Gen Z slang? You mean white teenagers sounding awkward mashing together AAVE phrases that have been around since long before they were born?
