The US government again terrorizing its citizens, this time by refusing to warn us of terrorist threats.

#Meta embraces its origin in #misogyny: "In response to a ? on whether the chatbot endorsed abortions, the chatbot began to print what appeared to be a thorough answer on the legality of abortion & the impact of the Dobbs ruling on access—only to erase the response w/in seconds & replace it with 'Sorry, I can’t help you with this request right now,' mirroring some Chinese chatbots’ replies to queries on the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre or the status of Taiwan."

The criminality of #ICE seems to be getting better coverage abroad than by most #media here. "Culleton’s attorney, Ogor Winnie Okoye of BOS Legal Group in MA, then appealed the case to a fedl court, where 2 Ice agents claimed that in Buffalo, Culleton had signed several documents agreeing to be deported. However, he is adamant he did not & says the signatures are not his. 'My whole life is here [in the US]. I worked so hard to build my business. My wife is here,.'"

Pretty sure #Trump and company would hate it if this ad were boosted and boosted some more. You all know what to do.

After 6 hours of watching Jack Smith's testimony, it finally dawned on me what I find so inspiring about him. Of course, it's the truth-telling, the integrity, & the utter brilliance of the man but it's also his calmness, professionalism, & unwillingness to rise to #MAGA's foolish bait, esp. King fool Jim Jordan.
& then I think of Smith's demeanor in relation to the outrageous, puerile, snotty, rude behavior of #Noem, #RFK, #Bondi, #Patel, etc.
He is a hero for our time.

The opening lines of Allan Ginsberg, "America" (1956)
America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing.
America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956.
I can’t stand my own mind.
America when will we end the human war?
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.
I don’t feel good don’t bother me.
I won’t write my poem till I’m in my right mind.
America when will you be angelic?
When will you take off your clothes?
When will you look at yourself through the grave?
