Diskuse o dopravě v Praze se nesmyslně vede jen o tom, že auta trčí v zácpách. Místo aby se vedla hlavně o tom, že Praha by byla mnohem lepším místem pro rodiny, děti, turisty, produktivitu práce, tržby obchodů a restaurací, volný čas či zdraví, kdyby v ulicích aut bylo prostě míň.

In Feb., a group led by Erik Prince, founder of the mercenary firm Blackwater, proposed ICE create a “skip tracing team” of contractors to locate immigrants targeted for deportation.
Great piece by @katyaschwenk.bsky.social on how those plans are developing, plus new info in the quoted thread.

Ah great, private military contractors on US soil but call them BOUNTYHUNTERS 💪🏼
New details out on DHS's plans to use skip tracing services to track down immigrants.
ICE seeks to give multiple contractors info on ~50k people per month, out of a docket of 1.5M. Contractors will conduct "enhanced location research" and surveillance, prioritizing identifying people's homes.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.
Remember this.

Generative AI is the aesthetics and instrument of fascism, *and* the fascists know this. That is why they are all, each weirdly moist sex pest billionaire of them, desperately trying to cram it into everything.
Because using it indicates you're not really opposed to them on principle.

Trump says his $40B bailout for Argentina's failing libertarian economy is "not gonna make a big difference for our country."
Really?
Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.
