Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

DID YOU KNOW:

The oldest known computer was first owned by Adam and Eve! It was an Apple, had 1 byte, and then everything completely crashed.

Soon after, biblical tech would improve as it was Moses who downloaded the Ten Commandments directly from a cloud onto his tablet.

Hotchachachacha!

We are a nation in which thousands of Black people were "legally" kidnapped with the assistance of the federal government & sent back into slavery.

We are also a nation in which thousands of white & Black people organized in their local communities to try to stop those kidnappings.

"We" are both.

You turn up with your unwashed ass and your 50 pull requests generated by your shitty slop code generating machine you bought off the internet and you want some unpaid volunteer on the internet to wipe your ass and pick through the garbage code you've generated and be grateful to you contributed.

I mean. Why do you think they wanted the blanket back so badly they fired a dude?
Sheesh, here's the WSJ coming close as a mainstream newspaper can to asserting that Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski are schtupping in a private cabin in the back of a luxury love jet the government bought for them: archive.is/Dbo4i

In any other administration, this would be kind of a big deal.

The GOP blocked the Epstein files from being released. They blocked Congress from working and prevented the deciding Epstein vote from taking office for over a month. They overly redacted the files. Now they're trying to move on without any investigation. WHAT IS THE GOP HIDING?

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

Alternatively: We are imposing new requirements to private businesses that will discourage them from serving people on SNAP.
Brooke Rollins: "You talk about those on food stamps. A lot of people buy their groceries, especially those that are on food stamps, from convenience stores. We're now requiring those retailers to double the amount of healthy food that they stock if they're gonna take the EBT card."

Hell, I’ll go one further. I fear my boss not giving a shit if the product is worse because the people at the top are just there to suck the value out of the company anyway.
I don't fear AI doing my job better than me. I fear my boss ignorantly believing that AI can do my job better than I can. *That* seems like the real problem. Managers will decimate the economy for no good reason other than they can.

Maybe it is just because I am currently teaching middle grades, but this is basically the equivalent of assigning a middle schooler to write your first draft. They are just trying to make you happy and will lie about lying about lying about…

This is not a way to create quality or efficiency.
What I know about AI: it doesn't do what they say it will. It lies and makes mistakes then lies about those mistakes. So not only does it not work, using it gives you MORE work.
That's not even getting into environmental concerns. Or WHY they want this tech in the first place. (It ain't good for us)
I'm not even saying that's the most *likely* possibility, but it's just very clear that the likelihood of that outcome as increased and even if there's, like, a 1 in 10 change that "AI replaces most to all white collar jobs in 10 years" that's an *enormous* risk to the social order!

Why, given the reality of the role, should ICE officers be armed at all?

If you truly want to re-imagine ICE, it’s not entirely clear why what is actually a civil matter — immigration enforcement — should be considered armed federal law enforcement at all? — @vermontgmg.bsky.social
ICE's Masks Are All a Lie
Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.
