Trump’s deployment of 4,000 Guard troops and 700 Marines to LA amid immigration protests is facing legal blows. Judge Breyer called it ‘monarchic’ overreach. Now California braces for a 9th Circuit showdown on June 17.

Meta’s $15B bet on Scale AI isn’t about smarter models, it’s a data grab. Buying pipelines, poaching leadership, and deepening labor exploitation. This isn’t progress. It’s control.

Biden claims these are “smart mines” that are designed to self-destruct so they don’t pose a long-term risk to civilians. But in the countermine world we simply call these “unpredictable mines.”
