It was modified to make these kinds of responses much more likely

There's a preview of that, but link points to https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/07/grok-anti-semitic-tweets/683463/?gift=c1JLM5vSU5FaaTvxtMmEpcpUxc9MKWWfcr6Ifc8rD3w

Problem is that what we dont need is beat cops who go around harassing people because their skin is too dark. What we actually need is detectives capable of catching killers and fences, but the incentives are to go harass minorities

Victim race too.

I suggest checking.

No, but its better to understand what happened instead of some fiction being pushed by local officials.

When you do frequent midnight alerts for missing elderly, people disable the alerts on their phone entirely. Then when disaster hits, they don't know its coming. And because no planning was done for it, they can't evacuate a camp full of kids quickly enough even if they know what's about to happen.

Actually preventing this kind of thing means maintaining preparedness for decades when nothing happens.

The US has a permanent seat at the UN security council, which means the US government can veto anything there

He has, however, read a collection of Hitler's speeches:

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler's collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler's speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

"Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?" I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. "Who told you that?"

"I don't remember," I said.

"Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." ("I did give him a book about Hitler," Marty Davis said. "But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish.")

Later, Trump returned to this subject. "If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them."

He's been spewing antisemitism like this since at least 2015. I didn't pay much attention to him before then

It's not just ignorance when it's pointed out repeatedly over the years and you keep doing it.

Happens every day already. Just not organized

Of Americans who have a clue about it. Problem is that lot didn't hear before it passed

They tried. Problem is that most of the press is billionaire-owned and they're literally settling frivolous lawsuits Trump has filed in order to bribe him.

Fed to alligators actually

Meanwhile, the plan is to feed everyone who isnt white enough to alligators.

The fact that a LOT of people are doing this seems to be affecting at least some Republicans.. It only takes flipping a few votes to kill this bill.

For most US citizens, losing citizenship means being stateless. Nobody will advocate for us when we're in CECOT

Don't hope...call your congress critter

This bill is closed and likely to see a final vote within a couple hours

Yes, but the city officials had their boss replaced by state with one who had a mandate to cut spending. Wikipedia does a better job of getting that part right:

In April 2014, during a financial crisis, state-appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley changed Flint's water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (sourced from Lake Huron and the Detroit River) to the Flint River.[7] Residents complained about the taste, smell, and appearance of the water. Officials failed to apply corrosion inhibitors to the water, which resulted in lead from aging pipes leaching into the water supply, exposing around 100,000 residents to elevated lead levels.

The problem started in 2014, when a state-appointed administrator took over and stopped measures which had been used to limit corrosion, sharply increasing peoples' exposure to lead from the old pipes.

Be nice if she had made the flip before voting for the bill instead of after
