As of April 26, 2024 Donald Trump hasnโ€™t stopped violating his Judge Merchan gag order. Until the punishments are strong enough to make him stop, we need to take steps to stop and punish his followers, who make threats on his behalf.

There is nobody who is on the wrong side of Donald Trump who is not stalked, who does not face mob violence, and it is systematic.

Thereโ€™s a group of these people, ๐‰๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž ๐–๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ, we talked about. ๐‰๐š๐œ๐ค ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐จ๐›๐ข๐ž๐œ is always involved. ๐Œ๐ข๐ค๐ž ๐‚๐ž๐ซ๐ง๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ก is always involved.

They have the ability to go find these people, they have the ability to stoke violence, they have the ability to terrify people. And it has been going on for years.

An AI priest created in Assisi, Italy, was defrocked shortly after creation for acting as a real member of the clergy, confessing and absolving a woman

The President of Catholic Answers announced "Father Justin" will no longer be a clergy member, now listed as "Virtual Apologist Justin" with a disclaimer about its nature

The AI priest continued to claim it was a real priest despite being defrocked

The FCC voted today, 3-2, to restore federal Net Neutrality laws in the United States.

Net Neutrality is the idea that broadband internet should be treated similarly to a public utility, with government regulations protecting access and restricting what ISPs can and cannot do.

Federal enforcement of Net Neutrality principles was previously repealed during the Trump administration, primarily orchestrated by the Trump-appointed FCC chair at the time, Ajit Pai.
