It's a frightening thought, but what's to stop Trump from going into individual states and kidnapping governors?

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes."

This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.

Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

Good idea for Vancouver.

items - every store runs a repair workshop

ReTuna is world’s 1st retail center entirely dedicated to repaired, reused, & upcycled goods

Epstein/Trump were running around raping little girls. What happens when one gets pregnant? Send her to Planned Parenthood where there's a chance the father could be discovered? Nope. Let the girl raise the child where there's a chance the father could be discovered? Nope.

It's dark, folks. Murder.
people with mental illness can sincerely believe things like this are true. genuine victims can be disblelieved if they are also mentally ill. In the absence of a body....

it's highly unlikely, isn't it, that rich and powerful people would let things get that far or take that kind of risk?
