Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

A couple of weeks ago, we picked up some "ground beef" on sale at $6/lb for burgers. Was geeked bc it was 55 in MI mid-Feb. Anyway, it was like chewing tendon. Regrettable. Maybe we should have gone with the liver.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

If Trumpist terror tactics are losing them New Jersey dudes, there's no future of mass support for this regime.

(IMO this *does not* mean they'll lose any time soon. It means if they continue to win it will be in spite of mass opposition, using America's rich bounty of anti-democratic institutions)

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

A few broader thoughts:

1) This election happened, period.

2) It happened in Texas, no less.

3) It happened even though Trump himself took an intense interest in winning it.

If Trump could cancel elections or ordain their outcomes, then why didn't he do that tonight?

ICE murdered RenΓ©e Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

Time and again, successful resistance to Trump’s authoritarianism comes from ordinary Americans putting their actual bodies on the line, when institutional leaders can’t even deign to use strong language.
