“Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon on Wednesday that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor & strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself.”

I READ THIS THREAD. And if you care about our future, DO SOMETHING!
Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social.
I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI.
A few thoughts for your consideration...

If network newscasts continue to be 100% negative in their coverage of famine, gang shootings and deadly earthquakes, shouldn't they have their licenses terminated?
It's not the crimes & horrible things I say that are the problem: it's the talking about it.
Praise my crimes or else!

This is what grooming looks like.
Read this young girl's words, one of the files in yesterday's DOJ release.
She describes how Epstein lured her in, how he took her everywhere, then the rapes and mind control.
He tells her a monogamous life isn't healthy.
He wants to build a harem.
Trump knows.

Let's be real clear.
Anyone who thinks Trump's documented attendance at countless Epstein parties involving rape of minors doesn't prove Trump did anything wrong is like saying someone who went to many parties with heavy drug usage was only there for the pretzels and chips.

1996. Can you imagine if they had stopped him then?
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

A few weeks ago, Trump presented Ukraine with a so-called “peace deal” that was apparently written, in first draft, by Moscow.
He has now told Ukraine they have “until Christmas” to hand over more than 20% of their country to Putin and surrender their own military abilities forever.
