Losing my mind seeing anyone try to argue that AI has sentience. It does not!!! Stop confusing it with fiction. The androids and robots in sci-fi have feelings because HUMANS wrote those stories. In reality our AI isn’t actually intelligent, it’s vastly inferior to what we’ve imagined.

Q: What comes after "No Kings" and Election Day? A: This.

I'm canceling my Spotify subscription until the ICE ads are removed. Streaming hate is a choice and I refuse to fund it. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/8tP9hjLJ

Americans are unified! We want something different! grassrootsalexandria.org/trump-suppor...

Dems made out like gangbusters. VA House from 51-49 to 61-31 (8 not called). Will the mainstream media realize that voters, voting for fundamental change, are settling for Dems? Spanberger is a centrist, business-friendly, law-and-order type. Barf. I voted for barf. Barf won. Back to protesting.

Vote! Vote! Vote! Vote to enable change, but please keep protesting. Both sides agree! - Elites aren’t listening. - Only elites can afford houses. - We need to talk about racism. - The deck is stacked. - Everyone is in on it. - Something must change. grassrootsalexandria.org/trump-suppor...

Most Alexandrians respect law enforcement, but not ICE. ICE does not respect due process. ICE deserves no respect. If Sheriff Casey continues to cooperate with ICE, when his hand is not forced by a judicial warrant, he risks losing the respect of his community. bit.ly/ICEOUTTeach
