The United States should not wage war against Iran.
Donald Trump’s bombing of Iran is unconstitutional. Only Congress can declare war — and the Senate must vote immediately to prevent an another endless war.
This is a horrific war of choice.

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also
1) bad at what it does
2) literally makes you stupider
3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

AI was trained on my books (without my permission and against my will) so this annoys me. I never use AI. Not for research, not for images, not for writing. AI used me.
I keep seeing reports of non-AI users being told that an AI detector has dubbed their work AI generated, and it makes me insane because:
1) AI detection tools *are themselves AI* and thus entirely bullshit; and
2) if an AI was trained on your works, of COURSE it’ll flag you as sounding “like” AI!

I feel like people don’t understand how bad this abortion fight is about to get or how far into poverty a forced pregnancy can sink a person.
What will end up happening is using low income people as breeders to provide children for white evangelicals.

When you start a new job, you have a lot of firsts. Many of them are good or neutral. But some are not so good and today is one for me. My first time having my period at this new job. 🙄 Am I going to be questioned about going to the bathroom more often in the next few days? We'll find out.

"It's only til the midterms" is not a plan
Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

Do not expect the institutions to hold. Anyone who is citing law or policy as a reason why Trump can’t or won’t do X, Y, Z is either delusional themselves, or an institutionalist—whether by belief or necessity because of their job— and is not to be trusted.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.
"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

There are 510,000 NCAA athletes. Less than ten are transgender. The GOP doesn’t care about protecting women. They celebrate and empower men who assault women. They force pregnant women to carry their rapist’s child to term. They target a tiny, vulnerable community to scare us and consolidate power.
