Capitalist Oppressor

"Hypocrisy isn’t the main issue here. Rather, it’s the loss of reliable federal support for vaccines, and how that loss is already dissuading companies from developing new shots that could someday protect hundreds of millions of people from dangerous, even lethal infections."👇

Israel has dramatically slowed its operations in Gaza, which has allowed conditions to improve.

But it’s not really a ceasefire.

Madonna releases “Borderline” 42 years ago today — her fifth and final single from her debut album and her first Top 10 hit.

The iconic video carved a path for other, narrative-driven videos on MTV. “I knew what I wanted to look like. .. I knew what I wanted to be about. I had very clear ideas.”

What's more, even as the NYT concludes that "there is no evidence that [Epstein's plan] ever came to fruition" , this period in Epstein's life is described contemporaneously by his teenage rape victims. One traumatised 16-year-old, whose diary surfaced in the most recent tranche of files, calls herself an "incubator" for Epstein's offspring. She chronicles Epstein's "Nazi"-like effort to create a "superior gene pool» . The fact that Sarah Ferguson, in a recently released email, congratulates Epstein on a "baby boy" has raised questions about where the DNA-seeding project stands now. Other Epstein survivors, in the files and in court, have recounted hellish experiences of' enslavement on the ranch, forced pregnancies, and bloody deliveries. In emails released by the justice department, Epstein is consulted dozens of times about pregnancies, sonograms, egg-freezing, and other obstetrical matters.

I’m struck by the similarities between Epstein’s ranch and what Musk seems to be doing with his baby factory.

Schumer on DHS reforms: "I believe Republicans will have no choice but to go along with us because it's so common sense"

This is a huge glaring issue right now. Courts generally ARE doing fairly well, even including significant number of Trump appointees. The corruption is concentrated in scotus.

Who Is Paying the Trump Tariffs? A wonkish guide for the confused

New post about tariffs. Last week two reports found that foreigners have borne very little of the cost. But the CPI came in somewhat soft. Is there a contradiction? As I explain, no.

r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

This is somewhat more of an old-fashioned ICE ruse. Arguably this is a sign of the agency going back to more standard “targeted enforcement” tactics designed to be not as disruptive as the more recent aggro-style arrests. Watch for more like this to come.

The Rubio speech is incoherent and hypocritical. He denounces Soviet communism, the threat and division it sowed in Europe, yet has absolutely nothing to say about Ru's current attempt to restore restore the Soviet empire by re-invading and re-subordinating swaths of Europe. What's worse,...

wow. He should be sent to jail for a long time for torturing his daughter

It seems to be a little bit crazy

No, the machine likely forced her remains into a bag automatically.

There are typically a couple of different mechanisms, a hydraulic ram or a screw which shreds the material.

Both press the material against a barrier to compact it then push it into a bag.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. 
 
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
 
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

They are both guilty.

The regular economy is very bad.

If not for all of the AI investment, we likely would be a recession right now.

In some sense, much of the economy already is in recession.

Polling these last two weeks is very clear that Trump has not only lost the argument about ICE, he's also lost it on mass deportation. Country wants him to focus on the criminals and leave the rest of us alone. From new Yahoo/YouGov:

www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Just to be clear, it was activists on the ground who did all of the work, developed the techniques that were rolled out nationwide, and who were brutalized by ICE while trying to protect their neighbors.

They deserve all of the credit. They were brave, and ICE retreated from Los Angeles in defeat.

Protestors responded with a nationwide escalation that forced the administration to back down on their military threats.

Then protestors in LA began developing rapid response techniques to track ICE.

That clash resulted in a large scale deployment of less lethal munitions by ICE. Lots of tear gas and all the rest.

The President called out the military with a huge deployment and threats to do the same to anywhere else that resisted.

Los Angeles: The campaign begins The first immigration raids began in Southern California in late May, driven by Trump's demand to detain 3,000 people a day. Masked and heavily armed federal officers, many of whom were accustomed to border patrols or targeted operations that did not typically involve tense encounters with the public, were now sweeping densely populated neighborhoods, scooping up Latino immigrants at bus stops, homeless shelters, Home Depot parking lots, farms, workplaces and homes.

Since it’s so good I’ll nitpick a bit.

It’s fair to say that what became Rapid Response started in Los Angeles.

DHS claimed to have done a couple of similar, smaller scale, operations elsewhere before coming to Los Angeles.

But it blew up in LA when the community opposed a raid on a Home Depot.

This is a very well done story, and should be a starting point for anyone interested in the history of the protests against the mass deportation regime under Trump.

Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump's DHS deploys 'less lethal' weapons on protesters Federal immigration officers have repeatedly used force in ways that appear to violate their own policies or general policing guidelines, NBC News found.

Because for some people Kamala Harris “wasn’t clicking” for them.

Heard there was some allegation Epstein had buried a couple of foreign girls there.

I’ve stopped trying to keep up, so this is just a second hand report I heard from a friend IRL.

Wouldn’t shock me if it’s just campaign dirty tricks
