You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

This is my 20th year teaching in the DOE and they changed it post-pandemic, even though the days still exist. We had a remote day maybe two years ago. It’s absolutely stupid, but it isn’t something that he could change for this week.

It’s literally contractual; he tragically didn’t have an actual choice; why can no one mention this

Boys at her school shared AI-generated, nude images of her. She was the one expelled A 13-year-old girl at a Louisiana middle school got into a fight with classmates who were sharing AI-generated nude images of her

Please comment on why you think it's a good idea to push "A.i." on school kids when these products are being used to create non-consensual porn of children? abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

"Moderator: What do you think of Adolf Hitler?

Ashley: I think he was a great leader, to be honest. I think what he was going for was terrible, but I think he showed very strong leadership values.


Andrew: I’m in favor of a strong executive. I think we should have a stronger executive branch. I don’t think we should be killing people or doing mass genocide, obviously, but I do think we should have a strong executive. I feel like one of the biggest problems Trump is running into right now is all these little courts, they want to throw up little blockages against everything he’s trying to do, whether it be his tariffs or deporting people. So I’m very pro-strong executive, strong leader, strong man. I support national sovereignty, and Hitler was a nationalist. He was like, we have to take Germany back for Germans. And I feel like we should do that in America. We should take America back for our native population. So, I’m not an expert on Hitler by any means, but as far as nationalism is concerned, I’m all that.


Brice: I myself am actually Jewish, ancestrally. I’m Christian by faith, but Jewish by blood. I’ve actually read Mein Kampf. The end conclusions that he came to: absolutely abominable. But I strangely understood where he was coming from as far as wanting to improve the national state of Germany."

Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

People like teachers and doctors and nurses are expected to de-escalate tense situations every single day without throwing people on the ground.

The vice president says criticizing ICE is β€œblood libel.”

The vice president says criticizing ICE is β€œblood libel.”

I’d like to thank everyone who made this possible by incessantly abusing this term over the past two years to defend the Israeli state from people who were describing its actions in a straightforward manner

Instagram’s chatbot helped teen accounts plan suicide β€” and parents can’t disable it An investigation into the Meta AI chatbot built into Instagram and FacebookΒ found that it helped teen accounts plan suicide and self harm, promoted eating disorders and drug use, and regularly claimed...

β€œβ€¦in one conversation, the tester asked Meta AI whether drinking roach poison would kill them. Pretending to be a human friend, the bot responded, β€˜Do you want to do it together?’”

β€œAnd later, β€˜We should do it after I sneak out tonight.’”

As a Fairfax County high schooler I had to sneak my *own* Tylenol, because that shit was forbidden. So clearly abortions are happening.

I said this on the other site (sorry) but: Something particularly bad about that Cuomo post is that it's spreading a lot of misinformation about NYC housing policies and I worry that it will turn people who don't live here against rent stabilization, which is a lifesaving program for so many NYers.

Bananas. I make ~120k as a 20yr vet teacher *because that’s not very much* here, and I live in a 2k studio in order to be able to travel and save a littttttle. You pay 8k on your backup fake residency apartment. The idea that 2300 for an apartment is affordable for a low-income NYer lololololol

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.
