This is no more lawful than if Iran / North Korea / whoever blew up a couple American yachts in the Mediterranean for suspected drug trafficking. On the legal spectrum it sits in the middle of a Venn diagram between overt acts of military aggression, state-sponsored terrorism, and simple murder.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

Do you do this if your business is going well?

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

every ruling out of chicago is like, "federal judge rules ICE agents cannot desecrate graves; must not deploy nuclear weapons against journalists and faith leaders."

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

I wish just once a reporter would ask some of the men behind these technologies: Does it bother you knowing that you've created an engine to skip the need for their consent after death from women who likely would have never consented while living?

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

by this time next year, we want ICE agent to be one of the most miserable, soul destroying, hated jobs in america, we want parking enforcement to look like a dream job by comparison

This is your master race ladies and gentleman

Just got off a zoom call with our "No Kings" GROUP, and someone is printing up "WE LOVE AMERICA ENOUGH TO SAVE IT" shirts and signs.

Some of those people are currently on the staff of elected Republicans, in fact. They’re part of the present of the GOP.

I made a little tool to answer the trickiest question in American politics. pbump.net/who/

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes.

Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

A handful of users abused the system so all are getting punished. This isn't about a few high-usage users. The reality is that approximately 22.5% of our users are consuming 20x what they're currently paying us. This isn't sustainable for us to continue delivering the quality service you expect. We have built some very powerful tools and we don’t want to impose artificial limits on what’s possible, but we do need to be able to charge in proportion to the use customers are getting from our platform. Developers are always going to push their tools to their limits, and we encourage that — and we need to be able to charge for it appropriately, too.

You only care about professional developers. Our core focus is on building the best AI coding agent for professional software engineers and their teams. If people outside of that group are finding value with Augment, they are very welcome to use the product, but we’re not prioritizing features or solutions that non-developers might need, and frankly, there are plenty of vibe coding/low code/no code solutions available on the market that will better serve those customers. You are just squeezing money out of us at 20x margin. 20x margin sounds great, but isn’t the reality for AI tools: the vast majority are running at a loss, including us, while we work to build sustainable, long-term businesses.

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss.

The woman who has secured a restraining order is *different* than the woman who called the cops on Mills back in February and accused him of physical abuse before recanting.

“Florida Keys Party”

Just trying to imagine what Republicans would’ve done if, say, the head of the California Democratic Party were accused of rape, while one of the state’s Democratic congressmen has his career ended by sex trafficking allegations and a second juggled multiple allegations of sexual harassment.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

I had to listen to the audio to confirm it, but yes, as troops are being deployed to American cities, as masked goons are disappearing citizens from our streets, as ICE agents are shooting pepper balls at priests ... Mike Johnson thinks nude bicyclists are "the most threatening thing I've seen yet."

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Eric concentrates on "elite" and "ivy league" institutions throughout - which are NOT representative of the broader US population. He does so because he has a background belief that trans identities are a luxury afforded to the elite classes, not something working people concern themselves with.

You know what? I have time today. Let's have a look.

The inherent corollary of "this is murder" is that we prosecute and punish people who commit murder.

The pivot from “I’m building god” to “I’m building a jerkoff tool” is pretty funny
