I guess when you're terrified of everything, everything looks like terrorism.
ICE agents should be refused service by absolutely everyone, all the time. Just completely ruin their day, every day.
Wait uh if you watch through to the end of the clip THEY TRIED TO BUY TACOS FROM A SHOP WHERE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY KIDNAPPED A WORKER, WHO IS STILL DETAINED
I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

Not to be all angry leftist about this, but I do want to point out that Reagan started it, but lol at that big Clinton spike and dip there in the 90s.

That was a fun rollercoaster ride into hell.
it's fascinating that you can see when exactly the Reagan revolution happened

One thing I'm preemptively mad about is the next democratic administration failing to do anything substantive about CBP and ICE.

I worry they will curtail *some* of the worst excesses while keeping both agencies essentially unchanged, and fail to hold anyone accountable for illegal actions.

"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

Using remote controlled shopping carts to give the impression that human laborers aren't involved, because human laborers are not aesthetic pleasing to the bourgeoisie.
First time I’ve seen a delivery robot in Uptown. It ran into an obstacle — a sidewalk closed for construction — tried an alley, turned around, and crossed over to the other side of the street.

Universal basic income (UBI) is mine. Also open borders—free movement of labor as well as free movement of capital, goods, services; technically this is classical economics but somehow neoliberal economists boost free movement of the other three but ignore labor.

My most woke opinion is that the borders should in fact be completely open with zero barriers to crossing.

If someone actually commits a crime, let the actual courts handle it.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

Seriously looking more and more likely that NYT has someone high up in the Epstein circles
The photographer? Yes. The NYT? No.

They did this…

To clarify: if someone whose parents *didn't* go to Yale of Harvard gets their degree from there, it's still more a signal that they were lucky than that they were smarter than everyone else.

I've met alumni from both schools over the years, and not one of them struck me as uniquely brilliant.
Fully one third of Harvard students are legacies. That is not a sign of academic excellence.

It's a sign that the school is essentially a country club for the children of the wealthiest 1%, maintaining generational wealth with an education as a side benefit.

It's so wild to see liberals using "but he went to Harvard and Yale" as evidence that Jack Schlossberg is really brilliant when it's just evidence that he's a nepo legacy student from one of the most connected families of "elites" in American history.

Every single time! Epstein will write:

"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"

and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:

"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

Setting Trump aside [God, can we please just set that fucker aside] I'm at least hoping all of this Epstein stuff ruins at least a few lives worth ruining.

The emails of the rich and powerful revealing that they're a bunch of barely literate failsons is a pretty stark condemnation of our political system.
All the Epstein emails are powerful elites saying shit like “Hello my friend the pedophile, i need your advice as a pedophile, what do you think about this other pedophile? Pedophilic Regards, your Friend ;)” and instead of swinging from a gibbet most of them are still writing op-eds against leftism

Many people are asking: Is NYT publisher AG Sulzberger the CVXII mentioned in the Epstein Files?
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

Really wild how all these Harvard scientists and mathematics guys constantly talked about how Jeffrey Epstein was this brilliant, "misunderstood" man and then you read his emails and he's clearly a barely literate lecher, extremely easy to understand

This here, for example.

Enthusiasts have a bad habit of ignoring these giant red flags in the way these tech companies handle inquiries into their products, and reframe ethical considerations down to mere plagiarism concerns.

But the problems are far broader and deeper than user ethics.
flat out lies. these tech ceos take regulators and the masses for fools

The funny part is that I used to love the idea of AI. Back in the early 2000s, it's one of the things that got me interested in history.

Now I'm a bona fide hater, not because I don't understand what it can do, but because I do understand what it can do.
