Student debt erased if you join ICE? And a bonus? So others actually doing good,like teachers,doctors,paramedics and first responders.... They get no student loan relief. But fat masked thugs who may have been sitting around unemployed are forgiven of their debt. Yea,that sounds like the GOP.

The deployment of AI in this situation is not a simulation of hope for any kind of institutional response to mass suffering in our society; rather, it is the promise and a threat of an imagined end of the human condition.

I sincerely believe what we are up against right now is the long-term social construction of an imaginative reality in which no lives matter, and the agglomeration of power to see that imagination through. The way in which AI technologies have been rapidly jammed into our society aligns with this.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

I do not understand how @washingtonpost.com can cover this story without the context that Padilla was moved to ask a question – and then forcibly removed – after Noem claimed troops were in CA to remove CA elected leaders from power. 1/2

Noem's quote transcribed by @justinbaragona.bsky.social - Thanks for that Justin!

Washington Post focuses on how Padilla was removed after he interrupted the press conference. No mention of Noem's claim that the administration is engaged in a coup. Here are her words:

"We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

It's also a misunderstanding of what the grants are for. It's not a billion dollar donation, Harvard won the grants to do specific research that it is in a relatively unique position to do. Trade schools aren't going to be able to take over, eg, Harvard's cancer immunotherapy research.

Even the dimmest bulbs in the bond market, the clowns like Stephen Jen who sincerely thought Trump & Musk were on a mission of cost-cutting efficiency, have started to realize they're just getting another GOP debt explosion to fund upward wealth redistribution. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

After the November election, there were few people in the bond market more optimistic about how President Donald Trump, and his band of DOGE cost-cutters, would rein in ballooning budget deficits than Stephen Jen.

Six months later, Jen, a long-time market veteran who runs Eurizon SLJ Capital, is backing away from that call. In fact, he’s become so discouraged by the fiscal largesse he’s seen from the new administration that he’s started to wonder if the US needs a bond-market blowup akin to the one that did in UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’s government to force it to change course.
