Yes they should. My 75yo artist mom has enough trouble keeping her images from being used without permission by individuals and feels hopeless against AI. Please remember there is nothing new or creative about AI images as they are based on thousands of real people's work.

This 🏳️🌈 button means something. Yes, I'm gay, but I'm also someone my LGBTQ kiddos know will protect and stand up for them and their needs. My LGBTQ colleagues know that I am there for them as well. Visibility is important.

I had a long conversation yesterday with an old maga-infused friend. I know her Trumpism is deep. I saw it as an opportunity to test my civility control. Was it productive? I don't know.

We focus on all the noise and R. propaganda, but we need to keep 3 things in mind:
1. Rs want more than life itself to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent.
2. They still want more control over the judicial branch, i.e. more R judges, and,

Then a bit on the Kraken Lady. She was charged with 7 felonies, for about 22 years of prison time and mandatory minimum 5 yrs. Powell pleaded guilty to 6 misdemeanors in her plea bargain, got 6 yrs on probation, no prison. Sidney is now heading to losing the plea bargain by claiming she was coerced

After the Republicans blamed President Biden for their lack of a new Speaker most of this month, they surely will give credit where credit is due and now give President Biden credit for electing the new Speaker, right?

I return to the xitter and see a suggestion to block four White supremacist accounts. The accounts literally use symbols of their movement as account icons. Hate is accepted opinion there.

And exactly what problem did you have with HRC that caused you to abandon your supposed support of the Democratic party given that she was the most qualified person to ever run for the Presidency? Your misogyny is showing and your threats are as worthless as your moral compass bro.

My favorite time of the campaign season is here at last. The few days before a Republican so-called debate. (Debate is a cringeworthy descriptor of what actually goes on.) Most are silently cramming for the big day and out of the limelight (yay!) Of course one bullhorn isn't attending this time.
