82-year-old grandfather’s family was told he died in ICE custody. Then they learned he’s alive — in a hospital in Guatemala
So they can't even identify the bodies. Yea that'll end well.

Has this ever happened to you?
My hourly rate for tutoring is actually about 50% higher than my hourly rate for on call support which is about 100% higher than my hourly rate for work.
I'm trying to afford groceries here, It's not 90 days payable It's pay-per-play. I'm tired of trying to finance an inhaler while the boss's favorite child can't decide on a font color and thinks that 5 minute phone calls at 7:30 on a friday are free.

He had to know this was going to happen.
I'm just amazed at how incredibly ballsy it is for him to go down there knowing that doing so is basically kicking a hornet's nest of entitled fascists that have already defined themselves by ignoring orders from the court.

Newsom threatens to take money from counties that don't reduce homelessness
We are lucky we got Tim Walz instead of Newsom. Tim really cares about outcomes but Gavin is all about appearances.

Someone should mass print the most common tattoo shapes in temporary tattoos and hand them out at protests or sell them for cheap.
Seems like a great way of just poisoning a lot of data sets

Using AI driven software is willful negligence. Software can't take responsibility so the human operating it needs to take responsibility for the consequences of it. They took down the entire thing they need to face consequences. The hosting provider should also face consequences for overly broad responses to take down requests.

FTC sues drug middlemen for allegedly inflating insulin prices
Kahn is the real deal. I hope Harris keeps her and gives her anything she asks for.
Lina Kahn could be the trust buster we need to get America's shit together and maybe reign in some of these big businesses that seem to be completely above the law.

Pasadena officer died by suicide hours after learning he's under investigation, police say
I really hope the investigation doesn't die with him. If he really was some kind of predator or creep, his reputation shouldn't be allowed to go into the grave intact.

And yet 10 years ago is when Romney warned us. I remember having a conversation with my mother in which I sounded off incredulously about it, "I don't buy this red scare 2.0 thing" to which my mother said, "there's probably something to it if someone says you shouldn't trust their friends."

It's not ironic it's intentional.
After 9/11, this country took a hard turn into fascism and boot licking. I was complaining about the new McCarthyism, the demented expansion of the police state, and the march to the right when my aunt interrupted me to say "not everyone thinks McCarthy was the bad guy there." She said it was such smug indignation I was genuinely shocked there were people that were fans of McCarthy.
When I said that that kind of un-American behavior leads to stuff like Kent State, she said, "If you can't be loyal to the troops you get what you deserve." That's when I realized that we as a nation were absolutely fucked.

They have already not done this with Putin or Netanyahu.
There is a less than zero chance they will do this with a sitting American president. No one's coming to save us from him we're going to have to do it ourselves.

Killing the first one probably won't any more than killing a single mouse doesn't stop an infestation, but once the mice realize that you got a couple of cats they will find the exit.
That's why you need to put traps by the exit too, the mice know too much and might potentially regroup to return with better tactics. You've got to get them all in one swift purge.
