ICE chase down & tackle U.S. citizen to the ground—because he "looked illegal."
The agents in tactical gear slink away from the scene after realizing mistake.
Their only explanation: "Why were you running?"
Probably because 2 masked men with guns were trying to kidnap him.

Concerning. Yet, college shouldn’t just b a means to better employment.
As MLK said, “Education should seek to inculcate, among other goals, two broad purposes: critical thinking and moral development."
This couldn’t be more important, at this time in the U.S.

Pure comedy. Pure insanity. It’s a study in cult psychology. It makes me wonder how far the MAGA cult would follow the lunatic leader. Reminds me of Jim Jones’ sway over his cult members? What would these people NOT do, if Trump told them??

So true.
Dunning-Kruger Effect:
▪️ People of low ability.
▪️ Metacognitive inability to recognize their ineptitude.
▪️ Assessing their cognitive ability as greater than it is.
▪️ Cannot evaluate their incompetence.
▪️ Illusory superiority.
Trump is the poster boy of this cognitive bias.

Musk's opinion piece for the German paper Die Welt, endorsing a right-wing extremist political party, matters a lot more for us than you might think, so I spent some time putting together a look at German politics, Musk's views, and the reaction to them. joycevance.substack.com/p/musk-in-di...
