Tressie McMillan Cottom delivers an important wake-up call on the urgent need to enact strong protections for personal data -- and the world we could face without them.
Opinion | ICE Is Watching You
ICE knows that it cannot shoot us all. But the Department of Homeland Security is close to being able to track us all.

Making it make sense: Epstein wasn't a global mastermind. He did not orchestrate a vast conspiracy that led us to today.
He was a very rich man with connections to other very rich men. The shared culture of these men is that they have a right to dominate and abuse others without consequence.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Might as well give a total immigration amnesty to everyone in the USA right now.
Any sort of visa, removal, and deportation process even if objectively and obviously justified (these cases do exist) is so totally compromised on so many levels that it has lost legitimacy

A guy I just met at a bar opposite the vigil, who lives right here, made a point that is both insanely obvious and yet also I haven't heard. Alex Pretti wasn't bringing a gun with him to a protest. He was "just a guy buying some fucking donuts" when CBP rocked up and got in *his* way

In none of his appearances today did Bovino acknowledge that this was in any way regrettable or could have been prevented. Because he doesn't regret it, and he wants it to happen again. Terrorizing anyone who is trying to hold them accountable is their only play rn

Recently met someone who was very surprised to hear I didn’t use ChatGPT or any LLM.
I said my job depended on doing distinctive work. That was my selling point. If I started to sound like ChatGPT and turn out what it did, then how on earth could I justify doing it? What would that make me?

In one sense, this is the Admin recklessly undermining basic norms of liberal democracy.
In another sense, this is the sweatiest flailing around since Giuliani was giving conferences outside a landscaping shop. It's just blindly groping around for any lever of power, regardless of how dumb it is.

The chaos and unrest is being instigated by Miller and Trump.
They are the ones bringing violence and disorder to American cities, filming it, and then using those images of their creation to justify the need to send in more troops and assert total control.

“Federal officers were flanked by videographers, toting professional equipment and wearing high-visibility vests. They filmed from behind the lines of officers, capturing the show of force. At least two drones swept over the scenes.”
Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city.
