“For decades now, officers have been trained that they can avoid being run over if they just don’t position themselves in a vehicle’s path of travel.” Good Q&A with law prof/former police officer on how ICE is not following best policing practices by repeatedly shooting into cars
Cops are taught to avoid shooting into cars, for all the obvious reasons, but ICE has shot NINE people in cars since September. Great reporting from @nlanard.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least 9 people since September. All of them have been in cars.

Fun fact: we do not need more oil. There is currently a 3-4 million barrels per day surplus. Total bullshit.
President Trump said this evening that Venezuelan interim authorities will "be turning over" between "30 and 50 MILLION" barrels of oil to the U.S.
Trump: Venezuela to turn over 30-50 million barrels of oil to U.S.
"It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States," Trump said.

I don’t ever want to hear any “pro-family” bullshit from this Administration ever again. Cutting off $10 billion for child care in California and 4 other blue states will make kids, parents, families, and providers suffer. This is disgusting political retribution.

Yeah, hard to get (re)elected if you publish a report that says 77.3M Americans are just effin idiots.
The Democratic National Committee has decided not to publish its report of what went wrong in the 2024 election. Ken Martin, the DNC chairman, ordered the report months ago but is now said to believe that its release would be counterproductive.

It's not that "no one was ready" it's that literacy efforts don't get funded, fact-checking is now "censorship", grants got killed, taxing companies to mitigate social impact =nonstarter in the US, politicians focused on the wrong things. Trust & social norm breakdown the are major non-tech issues.

Do we think MAGA/Republicans will speak up *at all* about this new and improved step towards our surveillance state?
"The creation of the Tech Force follows the administration’s hasty closure of several of the government's existing technology teams ... . In March, GSA dismantled 18F, an internal government tech consultancy group, after Elon Musk posted on X that the group had been 'deleted.'” 🤷♂️
Trump admin launches US Tech Force to recruit temporary workers after shedding thousands this year
Some of the recruits to government service will be on leaves of absence from private sector companies while working for government — a setup that raises ethical questions about conflicts of interest.
