They call it "pulling a Vatican"
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

Absolutely heartbreaking

This letter from Bondi gives the game away.

Minneapolis was never about unrest, fraud or immigration—it was always about using fear and terror to grab power.

And now they are using the threat of state violence to strong arm their way into election interference.

Anyone who thinks they are a good person & thinks that killing innocent moms & dads, kidnapping & tear gassing kids, & putting people in concentration camps is ok, is fooling themselves. You are a disappointment to us & your God.

Enjoying the Found series. But damn, that mustache on Brett Dalton, no. He was great in Agents of Shield, tho.

The party that calls itself pro-family and pro-life has killed a mother and a father in cold blood, tear gassed and kidnapped children. It’s never been about life or family, it’s only been about control and power.

The are killing poets and mothers, murdering ICU nurses, beating pastors and teenagers, kidnapping children and citizens, tormenting the elderly, disappearing and killing people of color and putting them and anyone who stands up for justice in camps... when is it too much?

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.
“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

Palantir CEO Says AI to Make Large-Scale Immigration Obsolete
Artificial intelligence will displace so many jobs that it will eliminate the need for mass immigration, according to Palantir Technologies Inc. Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

Why won't companies figure out that I'd pay a premium to AVOID their AI crap?

I've thought of upgrading my iPhone, too, but my current phone and OS don't work with Apple "Intelligence", which makes my current phone AWESOME.

If your job training didn’t consist of being told to generate sentences based on statistical methods performed over a corpus of sentences, an LLM isn’t going to be able to do your job.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
