Abolishing ICE should be the *conservative* position. The whole system needs to be dismantled, and these fuckers need to be fired, investigated, and prosecuted.

The sad thing is that there really isn't good data, and that's by design. It's not mandated.
I think what's bonkers is that we mostly rely on cops to self-report for the data now, something most abusers famously do not do. Reasonable to believe the figures we do have are significant undercounts.

Haha, how's this little "gotcha" attempt playing out for ya, bud?
Spring is hereβI could use help buying OTC allergy aids, along w/ a few other non-prescription meds and (if possible) coffee that doesn't taste like dirt. Goal: $102.60.

Dawannaaaaaa whatβs going on over there
Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

Screenshot of "your ai slop bores me," a site where you can larp as an llm to answer other people's prompts. I asked "please draw me a horse that's also a cowboy" and someone did a shitty ms paint drawing of a horse in a cowboy hat. 10/10
This is the greatest website ever made.

Are you wondering if your police department is coordinating with ICE?
Our research editor Ethan Corey explains how to find out. Many local agencies have visible contracts to hold detainees for ICE, but other forms of cooperation are more subtle.
As a disabled person who refuses AI bc *I recognize it was built to discriminate against, infantilize, and neglect us*, I refuse to let members of my community be ignorant of what AI does to them, the environment, and the social sphere. I don't think that's "shaming" anyone. It's important to know.

I share these feelings too. Solidaridad para siempre.
Okay, good luck out there.
I also never said Chris did anything wrong. I said people died because the lives this country is destroying weigh heavy on my heart. Catastrophic results are already here.
Good for you? I'm mixed and I feel this functionally normalizes linguistic cover for US imperial violence. Acknowledging the results will be catastrophic (but for whom?) doesn't make it land better for me, bc it doesn't address the human costs or state clearly that the deadly aggression was wrong.
I didn't miss it. I don't value or agree with the qualifier. I disagree that the war crimes committed were done smoothly, by operational standards.
I think it's wrong and a problem when media figures use language that devalues Brown people's lives and frames the loss thereof as a smooth operation.
Lean heavy into activities, places, and people that inspire or create moments of bliss. Double plus bonus good if these are *not* related to the person who hurt your heart; just sources of personal delight. Each little spark is like a ladder rung and it'll get you around folks who share your joys.

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noemβs effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation.
Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJβs request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it.
Haiti TPS is safe for now.
"... as smoothly as it did"
Dozens of people died, Chris.
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
We donβt talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
COME AND TAKE IT
Sadsack sounds sad
I hope that wife, her mom, and that child can get away safely.
Seems like a great time to remind folks that police families have 2 to 4 times the average rates of domestic violence.

PSA: AI memes aren't clever. They are harmful.
Please stop wasting finite resources on AI videos and images of fascists. We really don't need to train models to treat him as an important figure, or to churn out slop that distorts what has been said and done.
Itβs day 95 of the ICE occupation of MN.
This weekend, Minneapolis is waiting to see if Jacob Frey will sign the Pause Evictions, Save Lives policy passed by the City Council.
The mutual aid fundraising has been enormous, but the needs continue, even as donations have slowed.
Call the mayor!
I initially thought this was a bad AI render because the proportions are so odd...
Oh, I reckon @legaleagle.tv is gonna enjoy(?) this one.
