Broadcast (over the air) is dominated by a few fascist companies. The next administration doesn’t have to strip licenses to counterbalance. They just need to not renew licenses and repurpose the spectrum for something more productive. Those companies and shareholders get wiped out

NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
Watch both these videos. And if you don't think they're related, you're really going to enjoy living in the billionaire “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights.
The Surveillance State is complete.
Immigrants:
📌Pay more in taxes and take fewer benefits
📌Work more, earn more than the average native-born worker
📌Cost less in retirement, they do not drain Social Security for decades
📌Barely touch welfare, there is no free ride
Undocumented immigrants alone saved $1.7 trillion.

Heads are going to explode 💥
Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.
All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

Businesses such as Microsoft are increasingly nudging their employees to utilize AI to get more done. Others are forcing the issue. One of the biggest firms to take the more aggressive path is Meta Platforms, which at the end of December had 78,865 employees. At a companywide meeting last month, Meta leaders briefed employees on a new performance review and bonus system closely tied to their AI usage, according to a recording of the meeting. For instance, the company’s AI-powered performance tracker, Checkpoint, looks at how many lines of code are generated by software engineers using AI tools, along with over 200 other data points. They include the number of errors or bugs associated with engineers’ code; the amount of code an engineer wrote themselves without AI. Checkpoint is supposed to reduce the time it takes to prepare performance reviews, according to the meeting recording. It uses data from tools employees already use, such as Google Workspace to provide a summary of an employee’s work. “To be clear, this is not an activity tracker—it’s an impact-evidence starter,” said one HR leader during the meeting. Managers then evaluate employees’ impact based on these checkpoint summaries and assign a rating. To help employees accomplish such goals, Meta has expanded their access to AI models made by other firms, such as Google’s Gemini 3 Pro and OpenAI’s GPT-5, alongside Meta’s own Llama models. Employees use such models for coding and other tasks.
Meta now forcing all employees to use AI tools and tying it to employee performance, according to @theinformation.com.
HR said "this is not an activity tracker—it’s an impact-evidence starter"
That's a fun way to rebrand workplace surveillance.
That’s a deep track
The judge wrote of ICE actions: “Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency.”
Damn. 🔥
“.. Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.”

It reminds me of how all the police were in 2020. See a crowd? Time to start gassing.
It is weird that they fired this early at a peaceful march with families and stuff present. But I think they wanted to send a message.
Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.
They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.
DHS in Portland used Hexachloroethane gas a few days ago, really dangerous stuff in your lungs, acutely and long term. Need a combo respirator filter to help with it. most NATO countries consider it an illegal chemical weapon now. Evidence the feds have tried to hide their use of it previously.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.
