In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Los Angeles man demands answers after wife was detained at scheduled green card meeting A man is speaking out and asking for help after his wife was detained by federal agents at the end of a scheduled green card hearing in downtown Los Angeles in early September.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

Social networking agency and prosociality are inextricably linked in economic games - Nature Human Behaviour Jia et al. experimentally show that when individuals can tailor their actions to each neighbour—a freedom termed social networking agency—they display higher levels of cooperation, trust and fairness in economic games.

New paper in NHB 📄🚨
We ran extensive experiments to show that making the rules of some canonical economic games looser, makes people more cooperative

Spotify – Web Player

Tried the mixing (beta) feature of Spotify on a list I had done for dinner parties during vacation. I suspect it is a play by spotify to teach their AI to mix and DJ automatically, But I was a little impressed with the options it allows for customizing mixes. open.spotify.com/playlist/3OQ...

Interessante que a "interrogação" de Bugalho aplica-se que nem uma luva ao governo de Netanyahu e à administração Trump, a quem o seu partido (e a comisssão europeia) lambem as botas de forma descarada.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
