With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.
No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

There's a dad at the airport right now who's holding his toddler like an airplane, running around the gate and making all the whooshing sounds. They're both laughing. It's beautiful.
We're not born hating each other. Crazy how quickly it seeps in.

That's how you can tell human authors from AI.
AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off.
Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

Em dashes, like anything, should be used in moderation. Check first with your editor if em dashes are right for you. 😉

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses.
Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

“How long will I be here?”
“I don’t know your case,” the man said. “Could be days. Could be weeks. But I’m telling you right now – you need to mentally prepare yourself for months.”

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

I don't know much about anything but another person I love is dying right now and the last time we talked, rather than talk about Big Things, I just asked her to tell me about things like her wedding and her favorite place she's ever lived and stuff. This seems like a good approach to winding down.
