Can she know about the welfare of every single person they sent to El Salvador? No. But the fact that she is unsure/refuses to make a statement indicates that there is the very real possibility that several people are no longer alive

I haveš my classmates kept using the app to help them understand our coursework, and they didnāt believe me when I told them it was unreliable. So I took our lecture on thermodynamics and asked ChatGPT questions about what weād just learnedā¦ ~50% of the answers were wrongš

Oh ffs, really? Plagiarising fanfiction? And then not even betareading it??
First fanfiction authors needed to be careful because authors might sue them, and now they need to be careful because authors might steal their work too? Why canāt fanfiction authors just be left in peace?

Thatās why I always make sure my brother knows he can take as much time off work as he needs. Heās always had a lot of health related issues, but my parents never let any of us skip even a single day of school.

To be fair, the US has been supporting and putting dictators in power across the Americas for a very long time. They just donāt tend to be quite so public about itš¤·āāļø
