As of January 16, 2025, Microsoft has decided to automatically enable their AI service, CoPilot, on Word – even if you’ve previously turned off the service. They’ve also changed the process to disable it.
Their instagram post said to share this, so please spread this around so that families who’ve lost everything can receive just a little bit more hope in their lives 🥺
this could actually really help the morale of the people over there. People often underestimate how much of the damage caused by fires is emotional (as opposed to purely financial). Comforting blankets, photos, books, stuffed animals, all the familiar things children and even parents derive a sense of security and comfort from ripped away from them for no good reason. this may not be much, but getting a kid a little stuffed animal to hug while his parents try to find a place to live… the emotional benefit is enormous. And if they aren’t able to find a place to live, this might be all they have for a long time.
there’s like a thousand posts about it on this site but it bears reiterating that the reason a lot of Americans will specify which state they come from rather than simply saying that they are from the US is simple. it’s because, despite the relative physical proximity, someone from Massachusetts and someone from New York are basically two wholly different breeds of person. and neither is human.

Philly and Boston maintain a wary peace not unlike Staten Island vampires and werewolves
Just in case any of you are confused, TikTok being banned and coming back not even 24 hours later with a giant “we thank President Trump” message is NOT a win. It’s a huge red flag and a sign that this was a thousand percent planned.
ICE raids are set to start as soon as tuesday (JAN 21, 2025) in Chigago so make sure you know your rights, your community, and your plan.
ICE MUST have a warrant to search/enter any property. they will lie and manipulate you to allow them on the premises but if they arent holding a valid document in their hands they cannot legally do anything
They may say something like “our warrant is in the truck,” tough shit, have them bring it to you, DO NOT FOLLOW THEM ANYWHERE. Do not leave your property if confronted.
If you are taken, say nothing until a lawyer is present. The exception is if there are bystanders present/filming, then you should shout your name and whats happening
If you are witnessing a raid in your community, wait to warn others via phone as the cops may be monitoring nearby communications and may use that to select their next targets. Warn by code or word of mouth
escape if the opportunity presents itself, but dont be stupid.
Reminder that it has been confirmed by ICE director Thomas Homan stated in his interview that Chicago will be ONE of the cities targeted Tuesday. If you live in a blue sanctuary city, consider either evacuating temporarily, finding a safe place to hide out, or stay home and DO NOT open your door for ICE. Stay strong and stay safe. And remember “LA MIGRA”
