TL;DR: “You think that if they knew about the extent of the data collection, no one would dare to use the glasses,” one annotator told the newspapers.

Let’s talk Iranian war.
You’ve probably seen a lot of hand-wringing over missile interceptor quantities. Are we running out? Can we fight for years?
As usual, the answer is somewhere in the middle.
Bottom line up front: interceptors are a finite resource. That’s a fact.
The establishment and expansion of military facilities in close proximity to schools and public spaces place civilians at heightened risk. Under international humanitarian law, the use of civilian areas to shield military objectives is prohibited.

These reportedly include the Shahid Absalan clinic under the supervision of the IRGC navy’s medical command and the Seyed al-Shohada IRGC cultural complex.

A review of maps and satellite imagery indicates that the school is situated within a compound that includes several IRGC-affiliated facilities. 1/3

Past events exist, after all, only in memory, which is a form of imagination. The event is real now, but once it’s then, its continuing reality is entirely up to us, dependent on our energy and honesty.

He made a fake ICE deportation tip line. Then a kindergarten teacher called.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.
I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

It’s fun how this info comes on the heels of Hegseth ordering his minions to use AI and then threatening Anthropic with consequences unless they give the military unrestricted use of their AI.
Rep. Ilhan Omar: "The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents."
As you watch this announcement, remember how Trump responded to SCOTUS on tariffs by saying he had the right to totally destroy other countries.
Same logic.
It's felt for months now that the fed govt is doing everything it can, including acts of violence, to make the Twin Cities unlivable. Vance's announcement shows that effort continues even if Trump's thugs aren't killing people in the street rn. I just don't see how this can go on for 3 more years.
Q: What is your message to the people of Minnesota who are still upset with the ICE surge? This is just one more thing on top of that
JD VANCE: We love them. So much of what is broken in MN is a lack of cooperation. We would encourage everybody in MN to work on the state government a little bit

In an internal memo in May, Meta laid out its plans to release facial recognition in its smart glasses, to the blind first, & then to the general public.
“Civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

After two weeks of negotiations, it’s clear the Trump administration and Republicans are not serious about reining in this goon-squad violence against American citizens.

ICE & CBP are unaffected by this. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov -- Any deal needs to address the outrages perpetrated by these two agencies and defund them appropriately going forward. (TYFYATTM)
DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror.
