COVER UP
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

cannot handle that it has taken BLOODSHED for this to finally happen

this country is an embarrassment
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

None of this is new. It's not new. It's just happening to white people in broad daylight is all. It's only new if you don't think of black people as people. If you don't think of South Americans as people. If you don't think of indigenous people as people. It's not new. It's just you now, too.
And they laugh about it, and they give each other challenge coins. They'll rape people. They say they can't be stopped. Miller says that force is the only law. They'll even just kidnap world leaders, they do it to humiliate them. And scare everyone else. And humiliate the world.

And it's not new.

Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

Brandon Johnson demanded. Pritzker demanded. The citizens demanded. What do we demand people intent on extrajudicial killings actually do? Stop? They’ve already shown they don’t care. We are tip toeing closer and closer to civil war with each day.
every single official in a city invaded by ice thugs needs to do the exact same thing
Minneapolis mayor is "demanding ICE to leave the city immediately."

I swear though this is what it is like when I’m in rooms with people who’ve never taken any social sciences or humanities courses. they sincerely believe that you can “optimize” the chaos of human behavior and I am here to tell you

people are wild! will always be wild! and you can’t quantify that!

heavyyyyyyy on the eugenics

yikes
If you made a Venn diagram of every weird person I knew in Silicon Valley during the first dot-com boom, centrifuged it, extracted the pellet, and re-suspended it in high-proof eugenics with a splash of AI, you'd end up with something like this.

It'll take a strong stomach to read this "gift" link.

I thought they loved Western Culture? Isn’t Plato like, one of their greats?

They had already taken his data and run it through an LLM — this isn’t how informed consent works!!
somebody at UChicago is feeding preprints to LLMs without authors' consent, in a research study

they have the gall to suggest to authors they've opted-in that they volunteer to evaluate the LLMs' suggestions regarding their own work.

lol, lmao even. here is the invite and my reply

okay so all the talk about Robert Cosby in The Cult of the Real Housewife but

WHY DO WE NEVER ONCE MENTION THAT HE IS BILL COSBYS BROTHER

I need somebody to do a deep dive into this PUH LEASE

Honestly this needs to be the approach.
My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.

I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.

My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.
I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.

So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job

this doesn’t really sound like she’s collaborating

jfc we are never going to not be in war
VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.

Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.

Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

this is why dems can’t win.
5. I have no respect for Donald Trump. He diminishes everything he touches. But focusing on him right now is like being bitten by your neighbor’s unleashed, unfenced rabid dog and focusing on the dog. If we don’t hold his enablers to account we’re going to keep getting bit.
