Southern California air board rejected pollution rules after AI-generated flood of comments SoCal’s pollution authority scrapped a plan to phase out gas-powered appliances after receiving more than 20,000 emails sent by an AI-powered platform called CiviClick.

A California agency received 20k AI-generated comments opposing heat pump rules. Staff called a sample to verify—several said they never sent comments. Raises serious questions about the opposition campaign that helped kill the clean air standards, that would've prevented 1000s of premature deaths.

But in doing so, they also reveal how much of it is total inauthentic performance. Trump loves Phantom of the Opera far more than hockey, so to appeal to these athletes he reverts to misogyny as what they have in common. The athletes are spurred on to participate, even if they support their peers

All of the immigrant passengers are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists.

Omni flew this ICE flight right into a blizzard, knowing it would be grounded for god knows how long.

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

Bucks County DA investigating after Quakertown police arrested high school students protesting ICE A Quakertown High School students' ICE protest escalated into a confrontation with adults that left at least one teenager bloodied and in handcuffs.

the old guy choking the teenage girl is apparently Quakertown Police Chief Scott McElree.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

ICE agents grabbed a 16-year-old asylum seeker--which they aren't supposed to do

They kept him from his parents -which they aren't supposed to do

They shipped him out of state, to a Christian ministry, which they aren't supposed to do.

Then they *lost* him.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault.

LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith”

In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted

She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported. 6 years old. She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her. VS

Here’s a correction I’m sorry I have to make: I’m deleting this post because I was wrong and the comedian absolutely got a call from a real kindergarten teacher trying to get one of her kids and the kid’s family deported. Story by @drewharwell.com linked: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Third American death linked to ICE crackdown uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

“Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot by an ICE Homeland Security Investigations officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, after what ICE described as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident.”

My profile of Congressman Cory Mills is based on interviews with 18 people who have known the Florida Republican from his youth to the present day.

There's stolen valor, a restraining order, a failed grenade company, sex workers, a Trump endorsement, and much much more.

Here's what I found.

It's stunning that basically nobody reacts. No councilor objects or gets out of their seat or questions it. Aside from a few jeers from the crowd, it quickly goes back to normal. They just arrested a dude for being a little rowdy and going slightly over time at a public hearing. Wild.

Man Opposing Data Center Arrested for Speaking Slightly Too Long An Oklahoma man tried to talk about a data center coming to his community. Police arrested him when he went a few seconds over his time limit.

In Major Breakthrough, Volkswagen Auto Workers Reach Tentative Deal Volkswagen had dangled a treat: a ratification bonus of $4,000, sweetened by $1,500 if a first contract at its assembly plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, was approved by Halloween 2025. But auto worker...

VW workers have voted by 96% to ratify their first union contract, @lfelizleon.bsky.social reports. Read his piece this month on the deal, which comes with a 20% wage increase (equal to around a $7 wage bump for production workers) over the 4-year contract labornotes.org/2026/02/majo... 1/2

What Are Heterodox Free Speech Warriors Doing About Trump's Censorship-Industrial Complex? Nada Trump is issuing subpoenas demanding social media platforms hand over data about ICE protesters but the 'Twitter Files' agitators couldn't care less

In the midst of the most aggressive and alarming federal assault on the First Amendment since the Palmer raids, the Biden-era free speech warriors have focused their outrage on . . . the injustice of releasing the Epstein files.

I spoke with 18 people who've known Florida Republican Congressman Cory Mills. Nearly everyone, I found, dislikes him.

As one Army veteran who served with Mills put it, “I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire."

Omni also held shackled migrants for hours on busted planes on the tarmac at BWI, and I’m not even sure airport leaders know, tried to help them??? 6 1/2 hours on Oct. 23, 11 hours on Dec. 15. Pax onboard I’ve talked to said they weren’t allowed to stand or stretch, very painful.

He knows the maps make people realize how much this connected surveillance network blankets neighborhoods. People want to think of it as THEIR camera on THEIR door and connected to nothing, but it's not.

DHS axed its civil rights staff—and opened the door to a major lawsuit The agency is now barely pretending to follow disability law. Its former civil rights head says that makes ICE vulnerable.

A recent Congressional letter accuses DHS of not being compliant with a major civil rights law due to the mistreatment of disabled ICE detainees. As I reported for @motherjones.com, this is worsened by the fact DHS' office for civil rights has TWO EMPLOYEES now.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

ICE tripled its reliance on Microsoft in last six months, files reveal Documents show the U.S. agency is storing large amounts of data on Microsoft's cloud while making use of its AI tools to analyze videos and images.

Important: ICE tripled its reliance on Microsoft in the past six months, “in addition to making use of AI tools that search and analyze images and videos”

lowkey i find this to be one of the most viscerally upsetting things elon musk has ever done

Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.
