Every once in a while, I throw research queries into AI to test it against what I know. It fabricated a quote and attributed it to a DEA official in Colorado. When I called it out, it apologized for the "imprecision." I pushed back again and this was the response. Wild.

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

If you’re looking for a fun, antifascist sci-fi multispecies buddy comedy book series (with a very good audiobook version), I highly recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl.

I’m on Book 3 and it’s been a blast from start to finish.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:

- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

MINNEAPOLIS, United States -- Paramilitary forces under the command of President Trump brandished weapons and refused members of parliament access to a facility under their oversight. Legal observers say the Federales' campaign of terrorism and murder is part of a broader attack on the rule of law.

Since Noem became head of DHS and ICE further reduced standards for joining the agency while White House officials such as Stephen Miller demanded enforcement quotas, there has been a huge uptick in horrendous violence from ICE. This was predictable, yet it remains shocking and unacceptable.
