Is anyone else polite to chat gpt or do you just give it orders?
Like when it asks at the end “would you like me to….”, if you’re done, do you bother responding “no, I’ve got this from here, but thanks!” or do you just ignore it?

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

To insist that the soldiers of the 7th Cavalry “deserve those medals” is to frame the massacre at Wounded Knee as a moment of valor rather than atrocity. For Native communities, this declaration is not about honor, but erasure and cruelty that reopen and deepen a wound that has never healed.
With Wounded Knee Medals, Trump Admin Suggests There’s Valor in Genocide
The call to rescind those medals is not about erasing history, but about refusing to let lies and conquest define it.

Kimmel and Colbert and jokes cannot save you from what's coming.
You need the people that you won't fight for, to fight for you.

Sad because I know the singer, and she was doing one of the best national anthem performances I’ve ever heard.
I hope she gets to do it again when the orange buffoon isn’t there.

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook:
"President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
"President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
President Trump said he is firing Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, "effective immediately." It's his most direct assault yet on Fed independence -- and a step that it is far from clear he can legally take.
