Lets be real, liberals thinking DEI was 'job done' and not making real institutional changes is as much to blame. It's easy dismantle because it was so flimsy in the first place

Please remember that in the entire history of the world, "that's illegal" has prevented exactly zero crimes.

The law is not a forcefield that prohibits illegal actions. It's a list of consequences that *may* be imposed if you do the proscribed act.

"You can't do that" is just factually incorrect.

The em dash had me in a chokehold long before ChatGPT existed.

I hear the emdash is considered a ChatGPT signature and like...what? I know waaaaay too many good writers with an emdash addiction for that to be any kind of tell.

It's National Poverty in America Awareness Month – sadly, the carceral system targets & perpetuates poverty

People with multiple arrests are more likely to be poor, unemployed & have less than a high school education

Time to support our communities instead of locking them up
