This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News

+1, @ballsandstrikes.org will never use generative AI in our work, we promise to get upset about awful people doing bad things in a 100 percent human manner
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

NES controler to SNES controller is a Pokemon evolution, while the N64 and Gamecube controllers are both cases of Digimon evolution. Wiimote + Wii U controller don’t count as they’re just consumer electronic. The Switch/2 controllers are tokusatsu forms and therefore spiritually akin to evolutions.
