Let's try this again πŸ‘‹

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

As a white person, I’d like to ask what the EFF is still wrong with 47% million of white people?

200. Five Questions About the Maduro Arrest Operation Friday night's U.S. military operation in Venezuela was a textbook violation of international law. It's also entirely unauthorized by U.S. law, which ought to (but probably won't) matter.

"If we hadn’t already, we’ve unquestionably joined the league of ordinary nationsβ€”a league in which we’re acting as little more than a bully, and in circumstances in which no obvious principle of self-defense, human rights, or even humantarianism writ large justifies our bellicosity."

Me on Maduro:

As much as I want this to be true, there’s a good chance he has no idea how much aspirin he takes daily. He could be taking m&ms.

His hair looks like a bird’s nest. He’s keeping that hand covered. He said β€œsyncophant.” He’s rotting before our very eyes.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

β€œI Watched It Happen in Hungary. Now It’s Happening Here.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

I am a constituent of Mike Lee’s. He is a ghoul. I call his office at least twice a week to urge him to rediscover his conscience.
