“Deepseek won’t talk about Tiananmen Square” Is a bit of an empty gotcha given the entire western world has been doing McCarthyism to any who has dared to say that genocide is bad over the past 18 months

And just like that the cdc, fda, nih are no longer functional and we are now on our own as h5n1 nears and our food systems are further corrupted and obscured. We are well and truly being left to die as the billionaires plunder the remains of American democracy.
