claude loves nutella. just connecting the dots here...

it's worth noting that the quote they went out of their way to make look stupid was expressing a reasonable point — a restatement of the long-standing official US policy in fact! — and the quote they clean up and sanitize is expressing a deranged threat of war crimes in an illegal conflict

It’s always interesting to see which subjects Meta will refuse to do content moderation on because “free speech,” and which content moderation the CEO will volunteer to do in advance to curry favor. In this case it was “naming a DOGE employee”

Another study finds that AVs will increase total driving.

This one focuses on shifting parking behavior: "AV commuters may choose to park outside the CBD in equilibrium, increasing both vehicle hours and vehicle miles traveled."

More VMT --> More congestion

I get a lot of crazy looks when I say self-driving cars are designed for lawbreaking. But it’s 100% true.

You roll into Ohare one week before Christmas and cause chaos in the rideshare lot for only one reason and it's not to keep people safe.

A Quote Tweet from NYC Councilmember Vickie Paladino @VickieForNYC stating: “We’re in the midst of a global jihad the likes of which the world has never seen, and we cannot ignore it. “We need to take every seriously the need to begin the expulsion of Muslims from western nations, or at the very least the severe sanction of them within western borders. “The administration needs to begin developing a formal legal framework for the denaturalization process and get it over with before we end up with another 9/11 or worse. Enough is enough.” The quoted tweet from @DrewPavlu stating: “AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK GUN OFF SHOOTER “TERROR ATTACK SYDNEY AT LEAST 10 DEAD “AUSTRALIAN HERO TOOK DOWN GUNMAN”

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.

This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Ring cameras are about to get increasingly chummy with law enforcement Amazon’s Ring partners with company whose tech has reportedly been used by ICE.

From the end of this article, it sounds like everyone with a Ring camera will be opted into sharing with law enforcement, including ICE: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Immigration Agents Have Held More Than 170 Americans Against Their Will, ProPublica Finds The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

More than 170 *US citizens* have been detained and held (and “dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot”) by immigration agents this year. “Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.” [propublica.org]

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

Undocumented father killed by ICE agent in Franklin Park shooting had no criminal background, lawyer says The undocumented father shot and killed by an ICE agent in Franklin Park, Illinois, only had a history of minor traffic violations, not a criminal record, according to his attorney.

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

As Mayor of Berkeley—and as someone who regularly relies on public transit—I urge Governor Newsom to approve the $750 million state loan to stabilize Bay Area transit agency budgets and prevent devastating service cuts.

agrowingculture 3 hours ago 2/5 This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron. Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept. This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people.

The tide is turning.

CONFIRMED: Arturo Suárez, the musician imprisoned by the Trump admin without due process in El Salvador for 4 months is FREE.

A video shows him telling his brother that while they were imprisoned, they were beaten daily by guards. Remember: this is the first ever mass release from CECOT.

“I get arrested at 26 Federal Plaza. Pretty rough arrest as everyone could see in the video, and they take me back in a hallway, and then they take off their masks. The first guy is a Pakistani Muslim immigrant who lives in Brighton Beach. The first ICE officer, and the second guy is an Indo-Gaianese immigrant who lives in South Ozone Park. And one guy says, yeah, my wife really wants me to quit my job. I don't know how I'm going to pay the mortgage. And then the Pakistani Muslim guy says, what's Mamdani like? He's been to my mosque a couple of times, and I'm thinking of ranking you guys. And I'm just like, I don't know what to make of this. I mean, there's a whole broader issue. Like these guys were not born brown shirts, but Donald Trump and the times that we're living in are making them brown shirts.”

A remarkable moment from an interview with Brad Lander on the Jewish Currents podcast: two ICE officers who arrested him are immigrant New Yorkers, one of whom was considering voting for him and Mamdani
