This is the way, make “ok, abolish only ICE” the moderate position.
Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”
House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too
“The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

In an effort to be objective and neutral modern news organizations have completely lost the plot
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

I wonder what the angle here is for Databricks. Would they keep Neon's low touch business model or repurpose the technology?
Scoop: Databricks is in talks to buy Postgres startup Neon for about $1B, sources tell me @upstarts.bsky.social. The deal could go higher with employee retention.
This news comes just days after we scooped that Datadog is buying startup Eppo for $220M. M+A for infra / data startups is heating up!

Testing GPT-4o-mini in the OpenAI playground and it seems not to respect my function schema, even in strict mode. If I do the same thing with GPT-4o it works fine.
I feel like I'm missing something, but really can't wrap my head around this.
