ICE agents in full combat gear on the streets of Los Angeles. On top of a military vehicle is an agent with a full-ass machine gun on a tripod.
Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane.
This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

The anti-abortion movement and what it has wrought is more horrifying than any horror movie. It is a rejection of the dignity of life and a mockery of human wellbeing
Lmao, Toby Fox has a greater cultural impact than Trump's little birthday boy parade
a side note: this is as frontal an assault on the US by Israel as I've ever seen, and there have been some bad ones. This is Israel blowing up the planned negotiations in Oman tomorrow between the Trump envoy and Iran. This is Netanyahu saying the US can't do diplomacy he doesn't sign off on.
Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention.
Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

I have this looming feeling that the "content creator" economy might collapse within a few years under the weight of generative AI "creators" stealing all the oxygen, as they will optimize for engagement in ways humans could never and should never do
Just saw a comedian say "If vaccines caused autism then America would have trains" and I almost spit out my drink.
You must understand this point in combo with the government's assertions that it can sell anyone it wants to indefinite life-long torture camps in other countries, and that courts are powerless to bring them home--even if it is a total error or the person is U.S. citizen. bsky.app/profile/long...
This article describes it in more depth, but I want to focus on a few things. First, when you build infrastructure like this and create new jobs/pensions for right-wing unions, it's hard to ever remove them. This new gestapo could become a permanent feature of our lives. www.wola.org/analysis/160...
The bill provides for $160 billion in border and immigration funding in the next 4.5 years. It's difficult to describe the unprecedented scope of this, but I'll try: tens of thousands of armed agents in every corner of society are going to be virtually immune from state prosecution or civil suits.

America’s Constitutional crisis was 2017-2024, starting as soon as the Constitution’s bans on bribery were no longer in effect, and going through the elevation of an anti-Constitution criminal granted permission by the Supreme Court to break laws.
We are now in the post-Constitutional crisis.

I deeply regret my actions in the video," Diaz told The Standard in a text message Thursday. "I was intoxicated and reacted foolishly to provocation, but I take full responsibility. The gesture does not reflect my beliefs, and I'm sorry for the hurt it caused." Diaz said someone, possibly the person who recorded the interaction, had hurled comments his way."The guys recording were provoking us simply because we were driving a Cybertruck," Diaz wrote. "I don't recall the exact words because I was intoxicated, but I heard yelling directed at us, which prompted me to roll down the window. I've experienced hostility regularly while driving my Cybertruck, often getting flipped off or thumbs down, so I assumed it was more of the same."
a guy was getting heckled bc he was driving his company cybertruck so he did a tesla salute (sieg heil) at them and said a bunch of gay slurs. anyway his apology is awesome
It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.
