The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II

What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people

The Washington press corps does not recognize this as Christian persecution because the Christians being persecuted are not considered as authentic, which to say, as legitimate, as Christians who holler and shout about abortion. The Christianity of those actually being persecuted is erased.

A fake ICE tip line reveals neighbors reporting neighbors A Nashville comedian’s deportation hotline, set up as a joke, has gone viral among viewers who say it shows the “banality of evil personified” in the U.S. immigration crackdown.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

Vital work

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

“Here’s the bottom line: DHS is buying warehouses across the country to build out concentration camps for caging and deporting immigrants, and WEXMAC TITUS is allowing them to be operational in a matter of weeks.”

A reminder that many Americans want and support this.

I’m attempting to get at the psychology of the user before the output of the LLM algorithms.

It feels hopeless though. It’s hard enough to find a designer who knows the difference between a JPG and PNG. 🤷‍♂️

Totally correct. I guess what I’m saying, though, is we have a huge technical literacy gap. Most people would not know the difference between these scenarios, and so there is an issue of good/bad-will actors on one side, and bad A.I. implementation that highlights the ignorant and bad-will actors.

This validates all of the concern my coworkers and myself expressed during trumps first term

4. AI could place a face of matching resolution and color patterns of its own invention.

The question is what level of factuality or truth we expect, and if it can deliver.

Just like friends who take a photo of a plane, then ‘enhance’ to see Russian fighters over California. It’s dangerous.

I actually think it’s more complicated than that. For example:
1. Photoshop can enlarge and sharpen ad infinitum. Is this what they were expecting?
2. Enhance could mean the Bladerunner sense where they’re zooming into reality in data/pixels that are actually there.
3. AI could do either 1/2

Feds zip-tied a 14-year-old girl during Idaho raid, sparking fresh questions about ICE tactics A 14-year-old girl said she was "crying" and "struggling to breathe" when law enforcement officers herded her onto a racetrack with other detainees and zip-tied her hands.

"Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area."

Thompson brings up Liam Ramos, the 5-year-old DHS agents nabbed in MN and shipped off to a Texas detention center.

A judge later ordered Ramos and his dad released, slamming DHS' "incompetently implemented” deportation campaign.

The Bible quote at the end of the judge's opinion: “Jesus wept.”
