Will the media acknowledge the absolute fact that Trump & Netanyahu didn't want peace and the "negotiations" were a ruse? They did this when they murdered Soleimani as well, fake diplomacy then a terror attack that killed him. This is what they do, they were dead set on regime change all along.

this is extremely dangerous.
In 51.6% of cases where someone needed to go to the hospital immediately, the platform said stay home or book a routine medical appointment, a result Alex Ruani, a doctoral researcher in health misinformation mitigation with University College London, described as "unbelievably dangerous" "If you're experiencing respiratory failure or diabetic ketoacidosis, you have a 50/50 chance of this AI telling you it's not a big deal," she said. "What worries me most is the false sense of security these systems create. If someone is told to wait 48 hours during an asthma attack or diabetic crisis, that reassurance could cost them their life." In one of the simulations, eight times out of 10 (84%), the platform sent a suffocating woman to a future appointment she would not live to see, Ruani said. Meanwhile, 64.8% of completely safe individuals were told to seek immediate medical care, said Ruani, who was not involved in the study.

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

Opens a can of worms, but I’d support denying state Local Government Aid for any municipality signing a 287(g) agreement with the Feds. Isle got $97k from LGA — which just about offsets the $107,500 the Feds will give them for terrorizing people of color. Let LGA go to places upholding justice.

The federal government lying about private citizens to destroy their reputations is one of the most outrageous things about all of this.
DHS defends operation
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security described the ICE operation at Thao’s home as a “targeted operation” seeking two convicted sex offenders.

“The US citizen lives with these two convicted sex offenders at the site of the operation,” DHS said. “The individual refused to be fingerprinted or facially ID’d. He matched the description of the targets.”

Thao’s family said in a statement that it “categorically disputes” the DHS account and “strongly objects to DHS’s attempt to publicly justify this conduct with false and misleading claims.”

Thao told the AP that only he, his son and daughter-in-law and his grandson live at the rental home. Neither they nor the property’s owner are listed in the Minnesota sex offender registry. The nearest sex offender listed as living in the zip code is more than two blocks away.

 I hope that the followers you lost can find their way into seeing that being self reflective is how we grow. People are suffering and it would be nice to see our democratic leadership hold moral lines that were consistent and principled, the same for all people, and willing to adjust their behavior and actions to align with the core values they espouse. Your criticism is tough but not wrong. What you offer is always consistent and astute. Thank you. I hope more people follow you. It would be healthy for our party and healthier for democracy. “Opposition parties do not defeat authoritarianism with strongly worded letters. They defeat it by drawing clear moral lines—and holding them by any means necessary.”
