Commentary: On Friday, students will receive their results. They will be told if the “top schools” find them to be desirable or undesirable. On Monday, I will enter my classroom and repeat the message I give each year to eighth graders.

Lest you forget that many CEOs are more than willing to fire you and replace you with a shoddy AI model with sociopathic glee, here are the words of one such executive at the forefront of displacing human labor. "CEOs are extremely excited about the opportunities that AI brings," Elijah Clark, a chief executive who advises other head honchos on using AI at their companies, told Gizmodo in an interview. "As a CEO myself, I can tell you, I'm extremely excited about it. I've laid off employees myself because of AI." "AI doesn't go on strike. It doesn't ask for a pay raise," he added, parroting cliched talking points, much like a certain over-hyped technology. "These things that you don't have to deal with as a CEO."
“AI doesn’t go on strike. It doesn’t ask for a pay raise.” 😬😬😬

Deported under a little-known wartime law, more than 130 Venezuelans were sent from the U.S. to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Now released, several tell NPR they endured beatings, sexual abuse, and near-total isolation.
a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark
Elsewhere in the interview, Dr Maynard claimed Israeli soldiers are shooting civilians at aid points "almost like a game of target practice". The IDF said it "categorically rejected" claims of "intentional harm to civilians, particularly in the manner described". Dr Maynard claimed he has operated on boys as young as 11 who had been "shot at food distribution points" run by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. "They had gone to get food for their starving families and they were shot," he said. "I operated on one 12-year-old boy who died on the operating table because his injuries were so severe."
A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers “almost like a game of target practice".
He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry.
Formula.

🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact.
ICE attempted to enter the home of a woman with her children in Huntington Beach. However, the entire community, police department, and city council intervened and forced them to leave.
Keep fighting back ✊🏽

BREAKING: Emails given to Congress by DOJ whistleblower reveal new details about the Abrego Garcia fiasco. They show how Trump officials searched for ways to paint him as a dangerous criminal and gang "leader" and couldn't find any. But smears continued.

For what it's worth, this is precisely the reason the Klan wore hoods when they terrorized communities and disappeared unfavored minorities.
Historically, it wasn't called doxxing it was just recognizing a fascist community member.
NPR's Gaza producer faced Israeli military fire, private U.S. contractors pointing laser beams at his forehead and masked thieves as he tried to get food from a U.S.-supported group.

I know it's easy and makes people feel better to mock Trump voters—like these Latinos in Florida—who voted for the Colonel and got fried chicken. But it's essentially science denial. Propaganda works. It screws brains. It makes people who think they're decent do horrific things.
'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes
IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.
Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

There's virtually no doubt left that Mamdani will finish first in the 1st-round of this primary, ahead of Cuomo.
going to keep saying: a society that would like to maintain its basic functions has really got to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by people in positions of authority
