A good time to revisit this gutting @propublica.org story:
Discourse of the week on twitter is uh, *checks notes* stomp clap music = bad.
Groundbreaking stuff, folks.
As I literally just yesterday was saying to somebody, if their "AI" is so good and useful for literally, why do they have to keep tricking us into using it, shoving it without warning into all the tools we actually *Want* to use, or otherwise forcing it on us without our consent?

Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesnβt lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.
Abuse of power. Keep recording. Donβt stop.

McIver is arrested.
Padilla is handcuffed.
Hortman is assassinated.
Lander is arrested.
Meanwhile, Jeffries wonβt blame Trump. Martin wonβt blame Trump. And Schumer will demand an investigation by Trump.
βYou donβt have the authority to arrest US citizens,β Lander said. βIβm not obstructing, I am standing right here in the hallway. β¦ You donβt have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant.β

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

It is also unacceptable to threaten to take over a major city with military force and effectively end democratic governance there. Thatβs why the Senator was there. Letβs not lose sight of that.
13.06.2025 12:13 β π 1015 π 206 π¬ 11 π 3One problem for the administration was that ICE had only about 5,000 officers ready and trained to make arrests, according to an agency official. As ICE officers face more threats, they form ever-larger teams to conduct arrests, officials said. Larger teams means ICE can be in fewer places. Officials from the White House and the Department of Homeland Security have made clear there will be consequences for not hitting arrest targets. Top officials at DHS have pushed out one acting ICE director and are threatening a second. Late last month, the top ICE official overseeing arrests and deportations, Kenneth Genalo, resigned rather than fire deputies for poor performance, said people familiar with the matter. One reason deportations haven't picked up might be that ICE operations have received so much attention, prompting migrants to be more cautious, according to agents and leaders.
The White House is demanding that ICE get deportations up, and ordering any career law enforcement who objects to get the hell out of the way.
The head of ICEβs Enforcement and Removal operations apparently resigned rather than obey an order to fire ICE officers who werenβt hitting arrest quotas!
Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground.
Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.
Gavin Newsom just gave a strong speech laying out the stakes for democracy in blunt language that too few powerful Democrats have been willing to use. I know the huge problems with him. But at this awful moment, playing the "Sorry, he's dead to me" game with Democrats seems an unaffordable luxury.
