Support Dems who are willing to fight and hold ICE accountable.
Primary the rest.
Have them explain why they support a lawless, masked agency that is murdering and terrorizing Americans.
I'd love to hear it.

This anthropomorphized framing of Grok in the media (claiming that Grok has "apologized") only serves the interests of these tech companies. It gives the appearance that some entity has taken responsibility for what is happening, when in reality no one has.
Is anyone going to take accountability for this?

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

Republicans went nuts and accused Biden of tyranny when he tried to cancel student debt.
Right now, their guy just imposed the biggest tax rise on Americans in modern history by fiat, unilaterally, with no congressional or judicial approval.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.
It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.
