“When U.S. labs ingest the world’s writing without permission, it’s hailed as transformative innovation.

The US has had four main waves of Amendments to the Constitution: Post-ratification fixes (11-12); Reconstruction (13-15); Progressive Era (16-20); Civil Rights Era (23-26).

Give Lil Marco credit: one of the more artful “non-denial denials”
