They asked him if he had family in Mexico they could help emigrate to the US (he doesn't, because he's not Mexican). They offered him money, and he refused that, too. As they released him, they shot him.

Advice to Those Thinking About Joining the Military When meeting with a recruiter, take along a friend or parent. Before you sign anything, take it home to review. Get all promises in writing!

Not enough bad can be said about military recruiters. They're in your kid's school. They're allowed to access your kid's personal contact information. They're told to "build relationships" with kids. *None* of the promises they make verbally are binding: centeronconscience.org/advice-to-th...

This is the most terminally online Republican administration of your life SO FAR because the Young Republicans that make up the cadre of future lawmakers and leaders are all actively worse.

Israel massacres displaced civilians sheltering on Beirut's Ramlet al-Baida beach — at least 15 killed or injured.

In a surprise to no one researchers focused on ethical issues around AI have flagged this exact problem for a little over two decades: When AI developers trust machine learning to define a latent space ("DEI") that they themselves cannot define except through samples, it learns their biases instead.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

The news makes me think about this scene every single day.
