Smiley face in Spanish is “carita”
Trump just posted a photo of himself holding up a piece of paper claiming to show tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia that are related to MS-13. The paper he’s holding up has been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13.
The claim comes from neo-Nazis on X who say the tattoos cover up “MS-13.”

Software engineers, call centers, etc
Only penalties importing physical goods. Seems like a big loophole

I think an important point here is that this is the result of the flood of the written word in our information space to the point that it is *fungible* based on the context in which it’s used.

Percent of extended GEFS ensemble members that show at least one snow event above 1” (left) and 6” (right) through late January.
Low values for the right map are more due to uncertainty in the location as opposed to existence of 6”+ events.
