There are going to be some real repercussions for ICE and ICE agents.

And just like after Nazi Germany.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.

It's 233 pages.

L’affaire Khashoggi, du nom d’un journaliste assassiné en 2018, a relégué au second plan les autres dossiers de la visite de Mohammed Ben Salman, qui a reçu un accueil digne d’un chef d’Etat.

The Edge of Seventeen

Trump thought he could put the Stevie Nicks on the release of the Epstein files, but now that MTG’s decided to go her own way, the landslide may take him down. Gold dust woman Megyn says the girls weren’t underage if you just think about tomorrow.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Honestly.
If Dems cave on a “promise”, then what has all of this been for?

For 30 years, Dems like Schumer have had promises made by their Rep colleagues shattered. Again & again.
You can’t accept a “promise” by repeat liars & cheaters.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Brilliant interrogation of power, vision, and shame - and how Mamdani used it to reframe and reset what society and government can look like.

We use the Overton Window to describe this shift politically but it is much more deeply rooted in identity and cultural norms.
Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

Winning by creating vision in the positive space of shared standards, and expertly negotiating the negative space of shame.
