Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Remind me: when you bomb an elementary school, lure the survivors into a false sense of safety, and then bomb the survivors, leaving behind dozens and dozens of dead school children... are you the good guys?

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

At some point, the city (and state) need to confront this.

Otherwise, you're granting Sean Duffy design veto over a lot of city streets

Way to make anything sound approachable and fun for kids and teens (or adults for that matter) is to emphasize that it is a sacred ritual

Osburn’s bridge to nowhere becomes a lifeline for Silver Valley’s elk - High Country News Idaho’s newest wildlife crossing didn’t need to be built. It already existed near Coeur d’Alene.

Deer and elk are already using the new wildlife overpass in Osburn, safely crossing Interstate 90 instead of risking deadly traffic. Last year, Kylie Mohr wrote about this β€œbridge to nowhere.” Now, it’s a bridge to safety for wildlife and drivers alike.

NYC's Most Sociopathic Motorists Will Pay $60K/Year to Drive Like Assholes The driver of one particular 2023 black Audi A6 in Brooklyn got a city-high 259 speed camera tickets last year.

Can you imagine paying $63,744 in one year so you can drive like an absolute piece of shit?

Lordy we are madly car obsessed in this country .. it's like an addiction and we know what people will do when they're hooked on drugs for example.
I have experienced what people can and will do in cars and it ain't pretty and it kills.

ICE is an evil institution that must be entirely defunded, demolished, and abolished.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.
