The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

BREAKING: New reports show that after Hillary Clinton left office she allowed an aide to copy classified emails to an unsecured random laptop & refused to turn additional classified docs over to the FBI.

Now that I got Republicans’ attention. That was actually Donald Trump.

I don’t hate Mr. Beast. I don’t particularly care about Mr. Beast. What I hate is a system where good deeds are only done if they’re profitable, where people are forced to rely on the unreliable benevolence of the rich because they have no other way of having their needs met.

Instead of: no one wants to work anymore. Try: no one wants to be exploited anymore.

Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. — These numbers tell a story.

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.

This is exactly how this should be reported. Well done, CNN.

I empathise and even agree with many of the arguments against AI. But boycotting seems futile.

If you regulate it, you open the door to China. If you ignore it, you’ll be replaced by artists who know how to leverage it.

If you’re threatened by the LGBTQ+ community’s fundamental right to live open and authentic lives, you don’t believe in freedom and you certainly don’t believe in free speech. You’re a coward whose own identity is so fragile that it depends on the oppression of others.

It’s not “cancel culture” when you say something horrific and people don’t want to associate with you anymore
