Twitter is the new Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM).
Trump guys on Twitter are using Grok to “hunt” daycares in their nearest city to see if there are kids in them and, if there are, if they’re Somali.
This is so fucking dangerous.

I used to live just a short walk from there, miss it some times. Some of the neighborhood thugs would throw M-80s to see how hippies and scholars would react to gunfire. No real experience parking or driving there, no memory of the parking lot.
Can confirm the Berkely Bowl is in fact a barbarous den of chaos that would make the denizens of Tortuga hide their eyes in shame.
Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of having my tweet aggregated by a meme account with 4 million followers, none of whom believe that the Berkeley Bowl parking lot is this lawless 🥹🥹🥹

Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

Tarsands Timmy Walz needs to pass the torch to a generation that believes in science, keeping agreements, and not abusing the process to try for higher office when your failing at the job at your current level. He ran against the DFL endorsed candidate. Boot him out if he doesn’t go with dignity.

Chicago resisted. Protests came with a price. Bruises from pepper balls and fits of sickness from the tear gas. But also the shattering of illusions and loss of faith that what they witnessed could not happen in America. It did and is happening in America www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/28/c...
