ICE’s job is immigration enforcement so why is it using facial recognition to surveil U.S. citizens?

In 2021 I was telling people in my field of art history to stop legitimizing the use of image recognition, to stop applying for grants to use AI in identifying the subjects of portraiture bc this was what such work was being used to further. All this was obvious. theconversation.com/how-ai-is-hi...

Trump and Homan telling Minnesota they’ll pull out when they cooperate is the same as Trump and Putin telling Zelenskyy that the war will end as soon as Ukraine quits fighting, which is the same as Trump telling a women she won’t get hurt if she just complies.

Trump is a predator.

No parent should ever be denied the chance to bury their child. This is not enforcement. It is cruelty. I will continue to use my voice and oversight authority to demand accountability and a system rooted in basic humanity.

In Maine, masked federal agents stopped a car that contained a baby, and smashed a window. "Glass sprayed over the baby’s car seat." They took the baby's father who was driving, leaving the mother who does not have a driver's license alone in the car with the baby. On video:

47 is becoming confused and is making cognitive errors. If this was a different president, there would be a call to remove from office. CNN went off on Biden when his term was ending. But any news on 47? All news coverage is more like state media. Follow and stay safe.

I have many thoughts on this paper but for starters, these proponents of the UPF concept have a lot of nerve basically arguing "it is the empirical evidence that's wrong for contradicting our theory," as though they have some long-accepted theory about the world like gravity or natural selection
The ultraprocessed food conversation has well and truly jumped the shark. Now its proponents are opposing fortification, urging us to ignore the nutritional properties of foods, & conflating the extent and purpose of processing. Put this schema out of its misery already.

…and Harris won the 2024 election. Gabbard is investigating the wrong election!!

@housedemocrats.bsky.social
New via WSJ:

Tulsi Gabbard has spent months investigating the results of the 2020 election that Donald Trump lost.

Gabbard is leading the administration's effort to re-examine the election and look for potential crimes.

Widespread fraud does not exist. Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

​"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Our government was established to guarantee those rights. Does ICE serve any of them?

You don’t need to have a child at all and being a parent doesn’t make you morally or emotionally superior to people who don’t.

Our hearts are just as easily ripped in two.
my son is five, same age as Liam Ramos. you don't need to have a child the same age to be fucking horrified by the violence we are doing (and HAVE BEEN doing) upon immigrant children in this nation. but that he keeps asking for his spidey backpack is the kind of detail that rips my heart in two.

I hope there a several backups.

If so, dare them to try!
When Keystone Kash's FBI raided the Georgia election office, they not only took all the ballots and equipment, they also took the back-up images of the ballots.

Taking the back-up images means that they can tamper with the ballots without anyone being able to prove they did it.
