Did they get AI to write the press release?
"OpenAI has cut ties with one of its top safety executives, on the grounds of sexual discrimination, after she voiced opposition to the controversial rollout of AI erotica in its ChatGPT product."

Exclusive | OpenAI Executive Who Opposed ‘Adult Mode’ Fired for Sexual Discrimination
Ryan Beiermeister, who served as the vice president leading OpenAI’s product policy team, had raised concerns about the upcoming launch of erotic content.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

We must not fund ICE. The Constitution gave Congress the power of the purse. Congress must use that power aggressively and fearlessly if our country is to survive.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

Because he agreed to put millions into Trump’s pocket.

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would:

Pass gun control
Stop demonizing vaccines
Fund education and healthcare
Punish every single creep in the Epstein files

Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

Belated effort to disguise the racist exclusion of Wes Moore

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

Tuberculosis has been circulating in ICE prisons for months. I wrote it back in August and there is no doubt in my mind that there are way more outbreaks than we're aware of. We have to get people out of these camps.

Steve Bannon is the most influential person in the MAGA movement — what he says goes.
And he just promised ICE would be at the polls this November.

The message couldn’t be clearer: Republicans are planning to steal the midterms. It’s time to stop living in denial, Marc Elias writes.

If Democrats win the majority, Trump’s authoritarian plan will be foiled — and he knows that.
