Spent an hour on and off with Spotify online support just trying to find out where to file feedback re: ICE ads. After asking what the feedback was, all four reps ended the chat immediately when I mentioned ICE. This has to be direction from above. Save your time and just cancel now.

ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation. A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sightβ€”soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Correct. This headline and others, similar, entirely miss the meaning of the event.

You know what I think is the most convincing evidence that the government isn't covering up evidence about UFOs?

Trump hasn't told us.

Some very rich people are very interested in UFOs. Do you really think he'd still keep that secret when they asked?

Attorney General Bonta: Trump Administration Releases Illegally Withheld AmeriCorps Funding in Face of Multistate Lawsuit OAKLAND – California Attorney General Rob Bonta today announced that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has released $184 million in previously threatened AmeriCorps funding. After California and other states sued over the withholding of this funding, OMB agreed to release these funds rather than continue to defend its actions in court. Today, the multistate coalition confirms that the funds have been released, allowing state service programs to continue placing volunteers in organizations that address critical community needs.

And one reason for this, I think, is that Democratic politicians aren't quite aware (or do not want to accept) that law enforcement don't work for them. (Despite some being actually arrested!)

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!"

And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college.

This is, in fact, good politics.

The Supreme Court Just Let ICE Detain Americans Based on Race Indiscriminate immigration raids will expand across the country with the implicit blessing of the conservative supermajority.

Sotomayor: β€œWe should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”

But we do. Because the Supreme Court traded the Fourth Amendment for the MAGA Constitution.

A little solace for the Anti AI crowd. The greatest weakness of AI is its inability to say β€œI don’t know”.

Our ability to admit what we don’t know , will always govern humans an advantage.
