Totally normal definitely not morally bankrupt thing to say about fallen soldiers.

Today we observed six shackled detainees being loaded onto the ICE Air flight at MSP. They're heading to El Paso, where conditions are so horrific, staff gamble on who the next prisoner to commit suicide will be.

The man walking from right to left at the beginning of the clip is dragging shackles.

Anyone here collect first flight covers? If so, hit me up - I've got some extras that could use new homes.

Run by totally normal, very well adjusted, definitely not fundamentally morally bankrupted individuals I see.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

I don't get along with ferries (seasick), and even with the delay this was much faster than trekking out to the port. Plus on the outbound the winds were bad enough that the ferries had cancelled all the sailings through 1300.
