β€œWhat is happening now is harming children,” MN education commissioner says
YouTube video by KARE 11 β€œWhat is happening now is harming children,” MN education commissioner says

From Minnesota, where I was born and have family: A cousin sent this recording of a press conference, focusing on how ICE occupation is affecting children. My cousin and others worry they are being forgotten. I assured her we have not forgotten. Pls view & share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvcU...

Horrified by ICE. We need a nationwide day of action/strikes, building on Friday’s actions in Minneapolis. We need to show unity and urgency across the US against ICE's unconstitutional actions. Now. @indivisible.org @timmiller.bsky.social @repricklarsen.bsky.social @ricksteves.bsky.social

X hasn’t really stopped Grok AI from undressing women in the UK Meanwhile Elon Musk insists users are to blame for what they do with his bot.

We're now seeing headlines that claim X is blocking Grok from complying with requests to undress and sexualize women. Wrong again gang β€” it happily stripped me, gave me bigger breasts, and put me in pornographic poses, entirely for free. All I had to do was ask.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

For China’s Trolls, β€˜Chairman Trump’ and β€˜Eyeliner Man’ Are Easy Targets Online mockery of President Trump is fodder for the Communist Party’s propagandists. For liberal-minded Chinese, it is a creative expression of shock at his policies.

United by their disdain for the Trump administration, Chinese internet users of different political views are using A.I. to make images, videos and music to mock the American leaders for what the Chinese believe are ridiculous and outrageous policies and remarks.

I had my car washed and waxed yesterday, and I vacuumed the interior. It cheered me up quite a bit. You can’t keep up on politics and protest all the time. #resist
