Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

People with guns proudly posing in front of the Emmett Till memorial shot up with bullets

A bulletproof Emmett Till memorial. Riddled with bullet dents.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating The more than one million messages obtained by 404 Media are as recent as last week, discuss incredibly sensitive topics, and make it trivial to unmask some anonymous Tea users.

NEW: a second breach at women's dating safety app Tea has exposed more than one million direct messages. The DMs includes discussions of abortions, cheating, etc. Hard to overstate how sensitive this data is, and it can be used to unmask anonymous Tea users. www.404media.co/a-second-tea...

As set forth in the attached Report, the Government of El Salvador responded to the UN inquiry opened by the four families asking about the disappearance of their family members: 1 The attached exhibit has redacted personal identifying information for the four men discussed in the WGEID report. Petitioners can file an unredacted version of the exhibit under seal at the Court's request, with the exception of one of the cases for particular privacy reasons related to that individual. 1 Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 160 Filed 07/07/25 Page 2 of 4 The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned. Ex. 1 at 6, 9 (emphasis added).

BREAKING: Documents filed in court today assert that officials from El Salvador told the United Nations that it "facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure" by the U.S. but that "the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the" U.S.

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes'

Big tech’s role in Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza takes center stage at UN "AI for Good” summit in Geneva.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

As the FBI assigns hundreds of additional agents to focus on arresting people for deportation, agents "have been told by supervisors not to document moving resources away from high-priority cases toward immigration-related work."

ICE carried out an Iraq 2006 style convoy raid using half a police department, 2 multi-million dollar armored vehicles, and a drone to question a suburban college kid about his anti-genocide and anti-ethnic cleansing posts online.

Millions in tax payer dollars to harass a kid.

DOGE Put a College Student in Charge of Using AI to Rewrite Regulations A DOGE operative has been tasked with using AI to propose rewrites to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's regulations—an effort sources are told will roll out across government.

SCOOP: A young man with no government experience who hasn’t even finished his undergrad degree is working for Elon Musk’s DOGE at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and has been tasked with using AI to rewrite the agency’s rules and regulations.

Thank you Greyhound!

summarize: One, after trial, the Court found that Apple's 30 percent commission "allowed it to reap supracompetitive operating margins" and was not tied to the value of its intellectual property, and thus, was anticompetitive. Apple's response: charge a 27 percent commission (again tied to nothing) on off-app purchases, where it had previously charged nothing, and extend the commission for a period of seven days after the consumer linked-out of the app. Apple's goal: maintain its anticompetitive revenue stream. Two, the Court had prohibited Apple from denying developers the ability to communicate with, and direct consumers to, other purchasing mechanisms. Apple's response: impose new barriers and new requirements to increase friction and increase breakage rates with full page "scare" screens, static URLs, and generic statements. Apple's goal: to dissuade customer usage of alternative purchase opportunities and maintain its anticompetitive revenue stream. In the end, Apple sought to maintain a revenue stream worth billions in direct defiance of this Court's Injunction. In stark contrast to Apple's initial in-court testimony, contemporaneous business documents reveal that Apple knew exactly what it was doing and at every turn chose the most anticompetitive option. To hide the truth, Vice-President of Finance, Alex Roman, outright lied under oath. Internally, Phillip Schiller had advocated that Apple comply with the Injunction, but Tim Cook ignored Schiller and instead allowed Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri and his finance team to convince him otherwise. Cook chose poorly. The real evidence, detailed herein, more than meets the clear and convincing standard to find a violation. The Court refers the matter to the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California to investigate whether criminal contempt proceedings are appropriate. This is an injunction, not a negotiation. There are no do-overs once a party willfully disregards a court order. Time is o…

GodDAMN this ruling against Apple in the Epic lawsuit is brutal. This is a judge who is outright furious at a company and it is not going well for them.

Studie: Bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen macht zufrieden und mental gesund | MDR.DE Das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen – ohne reduzierte Arbeitszeit – steigert Zufriedenheit und mentale Gesundheit. Das geht aus der ersten Langzeitstudie zum Grundeinkommen hervor.

The results from Germany's big 3-year UBI experiment are out!

122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with incomes between €1100/mo to €2600/mo

They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time, and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.

Elon Musk trying to prove his worth to online teens gets destroyed by commenters as he live streamed Path of Exile 2 whispers. Commenters said “YOU HAVE NO REAL FRIENDS AND WILL DIE ALONE” & “DIE” as he frantically tried to hide them, then lost his hardcore permadeath character due to Starlink lag.
