13 ICE arrests were made at the Meta center site in north Louisiana this morning (Jan. 18).
The arrests were made after traffic stops by the Richland Parish Sherriff’s Office. The sheriff says the 13 arrestees had no Lawful residence in the U.S. and none of them had a Louisiana drivers license.

Someone told me that if there are tanks in the streets people won't vote. But we see in Minneapolis right now that that's not the case. There are militarized troops in the streets right now, shooting people dead, and thousands are out confronting them, protecting their neighbors.

You know, many of us said the post 9/11 War on Terror measures were Orwellian bullshit at the time, from DHS to ICE. The Patriot Act was chilling as well.
Some of us objected vociferously. Perhaps we didn't have the mics or the power, but we remember 2001-2005 as a terrible time in this country.

If he'd been savvy and not a moral coward, Bill Cassidy would be celebrated tonight as the guy who stood up to Trump and saved public health, and sacrificed his Senate seat to do the right thing. But, instead, he'll just be remembered as a cowardly loser with a lot of blood on his hands.

Please listen to the audio of this Dokoupil-Leavitt exchange (halfway into the story, free link below) so you can hear the way he says, "Yeah, we're doing it, yeah."
He sounds like an Olive Garden waiter who was just asked to bring another bowl of breadsticks.

My Colorado MAGA focus group was devastated that a bill to bring clean drinking water to their community was vetoed by Donald Trump out of pure political pettiness. None were sure how this could be resolved, but all agreed it starts with giving Trump a third term.

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Arrive home from the travel agency, well-done ribeye, and then down to the wood-paneled basement to fire up the cathode ray TV and pretend you're drinking whiskey with CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Kinda striking that ICE and the Border Patrol are focusing their enforcement on a blue state like Minnesota even though there are a lot more undocumented immigrants in red states like Texas and Florida. www.wsj.com/us-news/the-...

It would be funny, if it wasn’t so infuriating, that this is the second time people have elected Donald Trump and then almost immediately been like “wait what the fuck we hate this guy”
Trump’s net job approval rating right now is actually lower than it was at this point in his first term

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

LLMs are spam generators. That is all.
They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent".
But really, all they are is spam generators.
