The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered.

Exactly. Prices do not go down. The best you can hope for is they only go up slightly over time. I wish people had learned this for the last presidential election.

It was unclear how the clip was made, although it appeared to have been generated by A.I. The clip appeared to have been taken from a video that was shared in October by a user on X whose watermark is shown, with the caption βPresident Trump: King of the Jungle,β and an emoji of a lion.
The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape β and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: βThe other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I donβt! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.β
In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted βIβve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. Iβll do the same with @CBSNewsβ. In Sept he posted this:
