Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War.
The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the worldโs most vital shipping lane.
It says a hell of a lot that first the Vice President and now top military brass are planting stories in the press in an effort to absolve themselves of responsibility for the calamity that is the Iran War two weeks into the damn mission. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony
Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose โtargetsโ
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Will this induce any reflection at all from the "๐บ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ" in display name crowd about how Israel's war of CHOICE has yet again screwed over Ukraine and handed Russia yet another lifeline? Any at all?

I remember taking a college class where the professor said before the world wars if you asked Americans what made their country unique they would usually talk about freedom, liberty, or the constitution, whereas Germans were likely to say โwe have a really good military.โ

Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity.
No court hearing necessary.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed โfix your hearts or dieโ specifically at transphobes. it wasnโt a generic โno mean people allowedโ statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

AI fakes spread disinformation. Is the distrust they create even worse?
Manipulated images undermine our shared realityโand the democracy built upon it.
The primary aims of AI images targeting Trump's political opponents are, of course, to harass, demean, and discredit them.
But they have a secondary effect: to overwhelm the internet with unusable, false, unstable information, and then to mock the idea of finding out whatโs true at all.
