It is such a worthless public statement.

Someone shared this post in a local NJ parent group and people are deeply mad and talking about boycotting all the companies.

This makes me want to scream so loudly. I hope she didn’t have a seizure while being held unlawfully.

Hi. Hello.

AI can't feel. It doesn't experience love. It doesn't experience judgement.

This is like saying a screwdriver with a flashlight on it can "see". AI is a calculator, Amanda.

But hey, the people who's air and water AI has poisoned by existing CAN feel.

I hope this helps.

Also most advocates are more concerned with how Mamdani’s plan makes infant care more expensive and the fact that the workforce must be paid more across the boardβ€”both of which Fuller ignores.

His whole argument seems divorced from the current reality. Sure more paid leave would be great too. And sure having 0-5 in one center is nice to have but impossible in most existing centers that are not already built that way.

imagine if all that money had gone to teachers instead

My husband’s reaction: β€œThere's nothing tech bros and their friends can't destroy.”

It would be amazing to have an opposition leader capable of delivering this speech.

Been thinking of you and your family! Please know that so many people outside of Minnesota stand in solidarity with you and your community!

Would be beautiful to take all the money wasted on ICE, CBF, DHS and spend it on something peaceful and forward thinking. Child care, education, healthcare. I’m so tired of our tax dollars being used to destroy.

All of this.

I’m so angry. Abolish ICE. Don’t give them another single cent. Nurses and teachers > armed Gestapo.

I’m so sorry you were attacked. I deeply value your voice in Congress! Thank you for fighting for all of us.

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

I ache for Alex Peretti’s family and loved ones.

As @kimkelly.bsky.social recently wrote, "To die a politicized death in America is to be forever denied peace."

Yes saw a healthy eating/fitness account post about politics for the first time. People who usually don’t talk about politics are mentioning it.

I’ve spent all day thinking about this, as someone who knows grief well. How it’s so much more complicated to grieve in this public way when your loved one is murdered and it’s so visible and public.

I keep thinking of the β€œA Man was Lynched Yesterday” flag. A man was executed today by state officers. He was a son, a brother, a nurse, a Good Samaritan. He loved the outdoors. He had so much more life to live.

Blinding rage, anguish, the deepest negative emotions I’ve ever felt. I don’t see that category.

I keep thinking about the fact that Renee and Alex were 37, so young, younger than me, with full lives left to live. Murdered by the state for no reason.

Both 37 years old.
