And the more people we have calling in every single day, the better our odds are. But there's still more ways to fight back. And I want Myra to pick up on how people can fight back on the ground.

Yeah, even in L.A., they'll, like, sometimes they'll accidentally, quote, unquote, arrest journalists, but then they'll be like, okay, we'll let you go because you're a journalist.

Yeah, I can speak to it a little bit too. I've been a journalist for, I guess, what was it, six months? Because it's a long story, but I kind of got into it more out of fear for myself. Sometimes people think I'm selfless and maybe I am a little bit, but a lot of it is really selfish and just feeling like I have to do stuff to protect myself and my friends, basically. But...

Even in that short period of time, I have faced a lot of bad stuff from, honestly, predominantly the left and liberals and sometimes even other queer people being a trans woman of color. And that wasn't really initially what I was afraid of. You know, I was afraid of, like, I'm going to get death threats and Nazis up and, like, friend dox me. And actually, none of that's happened.

I can't really explain why other than I just don't use Twitter. And I guess they don't know I exist. It helps. It helps. But I have one of the first national news stories that I broke, or one of them, I guess. It was about Meta AI being super racist, and I kind of figured that out. I proved that it was racist, basically.

I just used my brain to make it tell on itself and explain its prompt and all that. And it became this huge international news story, but... It was like immediately co-opted by a Washington Post journalist who retweeted me and then recreated the conversation and posted it again. And then I had to go on like this weeks long like kind of campaign to try to just get basic credit for that.

And eventually she did credit me in the column to give her credit. But that was not something that was forgiven. And a lot of others that I said the thing to also didn't credit me. And that's just been a recurring trend that, yeah, like, I'm kind of invisible, even though I make a lot of important news. So that kind of sucks.
