#BREAKING The U.S. Supreme Court has sided with the State of Illinois on National Guard deployment.

Under the law invoked by President Trump, he must be unable "with the regular military" to "execute the laws of the United States," it finds.

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.
jesus the Palm Beach Police really sought arrest warrants against underage Epstein victims for coming forward and cooperating, and (purported) admitting to crimes, and it caused the victims to become uncooperative with the federal investigation

very specific to DC complaint here but when trump is threatening to take over the city's historically significant public golf courses so he can privatize them and make them another getaway for the 1% i don't think going "well maybe they shouldnt be golf courses to begin with" is helpful or realistic

the whole point of these fucking things is de-skilling / convincing ppl not to use your brain. this entire idea of “AI skills” is a farce designed to manufacture consent by creating the myth that GenAI will create new jobs.
I find the idea that you need to know “how to use” AI tools really funny, as if it isn’t incredibly easy to type in prompts and the marketing these tools is that literally anyone can do it

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Brian Stelter on how the 60 Minutes CECOT segment leaked: CBS shipped it off to one of its affiliates, a Canadian network called Global TV. Global TV streamed the report on its app today, which caught the attention of some Canadian viewers.

Just watched the whole 60 Minutes CECOT episode. It's a pretty standard segment for 60 Minutes, taking something that's been reported on in other publications and formats and telling it to a wider audience with first person, on camera accounts. It's not earth shattering, but it is newsworthy.

I don’t know man, I feel like these people aren’t actually into protecting the children
Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare says "that ICE raids have affected nearly a dozen criminal cases his office was pursuing, including sexual assaults of children, because victims and witnesses were either deported or refused to participate in trials because they were undocumented."
As ICE ramps up deportations, Texas prosecutors say they’re losing key witnesses in criminal cases | Houston Public Media
District attorneys in Harris, El Paso and other counties say some cases, including murders, have been hobbled or lost because witnesses were detained, deported or too scared to come to court.

Among the many issues with Weiss’s memo on the CECOT story, most of the additional info she’s demanding, about the administration’s legal rationales and the prisoners’ criminal histories, was actually covered in this piece that ran earlier this year on—wait for it—“60 Minutes”.

This isn’t “just border security.” It’s DNA surveillance. Reports show DHS/CBP have collected DNA from migrants, including children, and uploaded profiles into the FBI’s criminal DNA database (CODIS).

The AI push to me is just like the people who say we can never stop using fossil fuels. It’s takes as given something that is very obviously not and is fundamentally rooted in a worldview that doesn’t think we deserve better.
