Wait till they dust off the Comstock Act of 1873! A thing they absolutely have talked about and will be doing. Would have been good for any party to have repealed it in the last 152 years!

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

X post by Amy Nixon (@texasrunnerDFW ), featuring a verification badge. The post reads, "The USA is weird now. If you're a person under 30, you probably think it's normal but that's because you don't know. Trust me. It's weird."

A black pole in front of two trash containers -- one for recycling, one for trash. On the pole are two stickers: Top sticker: A yellow sticker with mostly black letters. "WARNING! The Trump (red letters) administration is using the same technique that Hitler and the Nazi (red letters) party did when coming into power. Bottom sticker: Abolish ICE (red letters), with red Antifa arrows piercing a yellow ICE badge. Behind the pole is a museum with rounded archways and brick, and a rainbow embedded one of the archways.

I really don't know how to keep saying this so cis people understand.

The Nazis in 1933 came for trans people. They burned our libraries to the ground. They raided and bombed our hospitals. They declared our existence illegal. And then they put us in concentration camps and gassed us.

The Nazis in 2025 came for trans people. They're burning our books. They're raiding and bombing our hospitals. They're declaring our existence illegal. And they're building concentration camps.

There's no fucking nuance here. There's no metaphor to be found. There's no allegory. There's no need to draw "similarities" between the Nazis then and the Nazis now, because it's the same people doing the same shit for the same reasons. It's not "similar". It's the same fucking thing.

And if you can't see that, if you've had blinders on for the last 92+ years, I just don't know how to fucking help you with that. If you think the Nazi attacks on trans people are somehow "recent", blame a Nazi, because Nazis are the reason you think that.

If you're using an LLM to write code, you need to treat the output exactly the same as a random answer from Stack Overflow, or some shit an intern wrote.

It might be great! It might miss corner cases! It might completely misunderstand the codebase and use APIs incorrectly, or just not compile, or solve the wrong problem!

If you're employed as a software developer, it's *your* responsibility to proofread anything you didn't write yourself (and also, to be fair, the stuff you did actually write)

___

Dr. Rasha Alawieh is an accomplished kidney transplant specialist. Very difficult and severely understaffed field. In the country legally with valid work visa through 2027.

The courts ordered the administration not to deport her, but he did anyway.

This is a constitutional crisis. Ignoring federal immigration law by detaining someone with a valid visa who had broken no laws. Then ignoring a court order.

These are clear and imperative grounds for immediate impeachment.
