  Hey, if you're pissed off about #ICE and want to contribute to someone who's *actually doing something* about it, consider kicking a few bucks to Aaron Lewis and Orlando 50501 (the group that put on No Kings), who are heading a delegation to D.C. with proposed legislation to #AbolishICE, repair our broken and confusing immigration system, and invest in long-overdue community restoration. https://www.spotfund.com/aaact

  I hate that nobody can have a sequel these days without tacking ".0" onto the "2". Even just saying "Something Two" sounds wrong now when not followed by "Point Oh".

  I just reported to Google that one of the apps on their Play Store was hosting child porn and their response was "We encourage you to resolve any disputes directly with the individual who posted the content." So, Google is officially cool with promoting child porn as long as they aren't hosting it.

  Wow, I remember buying digital security certificates sucked, but DigiCert is taking it to a whole new level these days. What a terrible, shitty, wildly incompetent company.

  I expect Stephen Miller to be shitty, but this is just shameful from Democrats. They need to fire whoever wrote this post.

  Me: "Different types of bread have such different names and tastes so they must have very different ingredients too!" Reality: flour, water, salt, leavening agent.

  This morning, a Florida Highway Patrolman attempted to pull over a car for speeding. The car fled, and the FHP officer performed a PIT maneuver that killed the teenage passenger in the car. They killed a child. For speeding. The Facebook comments are full of conservatives saying he deserved it.

  Today, I was honored to have the opportunity to meet Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and talk to him about our legislative proposal to #AbolishICE and revamp our country's broken immigration system. I also made it a point to thank him for his steadfast support of the No Kings protests. #uspol

  Every single voter I have spoken to while canvassing says the exact same two things: 1) They want politicians who will fight for the people instead of rolling over for the corrupt kickbacks from corporations. 2) The Democratic Party's failure to fight is the reason they're disillusioned.

  Tonight, after months of very hard work by a team very talented and dedicated people, our endorsed candidates Angie Nixon, Anthony Nieves, Tiffany Moore Russel, Angie Gallo, Melissa Lopez Marantes, Gloria O'Neal, and Susanne Peña won their primaries! This happened despite their unwillingness to take big money, and because of their pledge to fight for the people!

  Over the next 10 years there's gonna be a bunch of studies that basically boil down to "people fell for #AI because they like positive reinforcement, which works, and they weren't getting it elsewhere in their lives." An AI replying "good observation" can be a poor substitute for an absent father.
