Lo, Easter was once sacred. A time to reflect and reconnect. Definitely not a good day to get robbed in broad daylight, drunkenly humiliate your kids, or kill the Pope.

This is precisely why you don't unleash unqualified tits with no *real knowledge (or logical foundation) of anything except for how to run python scripts (calling up LLMs) to sniff a database for undesirable words and then fuck up someone's life, albeit temporarily. www.nbcnews.com/news/rcna201...

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!
