I'm interested in why some people believe that "abolishing ICE" is possible but defunding policing is not.

The LAPD union is spending millions to defeat a half cent sales tax that would fund firefighters www.latimes.com/california/s...
The Los Angeles Police Department's officer union said Tuesday it will oppose Measure FD, the half-cent sales tax measure on the Nov. 3 ballot pushed by the city firefighters' union - setting up a bitter and expensive clash between two of the city's most powerful unions.
The Police Protective League said it plans to spend several million dollars on broadcast and digital advertising as well as mailers to oppose Measure FD, which if approved by voters would direct hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the Fire Department to build new stations, hire firefighters and upgrade

Sadly its already happen to Sou Noire The Black Drag Queen from the story is already getting death threats and Last Ditch had to issue a statement that a lot that has been said about them by the article is a flat out lie
lastditchbar on instagram:

Our community should expect more details in
the future. Today we need to address the safety
of the community itself. Stop harassing Soe
Noire. It is neither productive, progressive, nor
valiant to attack and harass a black patron. He
has been a collaborator and performer of Last
Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his
mind about accountability and repair from the
bar. There are so many misconceptions due to
the disorganization of the Globe's article. He did
not call for a shutdown, nor did he call for the
bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not
disparage the owner for being homeless. As a
result of this abysmal journalism, Soe has been
getting additional threats, slurs, and
harassment, and now he is being reported to the
police over something he did not do. This is not
supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is at its core,
anti-blackness hysteria

Who will clean any of this up? 
At a church service in Chicago they had set up cardboard cutouts in the pews to represent the worshippers who would have attended mass if not for fear of being disappeared. Not far away I saw a laborer’s lunch had been left uneaten and spilled over onto the sidewalk outside of a home he must have just been working on. Laboring on. There’s a dumpster out front and a red white and blue flag themed porta-potty from a company called Patriot Portables. Three ladders still leaning up against the building. 

It looks like it would have been a pretty tasty lunch. Even tossed aside like that and wasted now. A smear of orange hot sauce on the cracked styrofoam container. Not yet taken away by the wind. Such a beautiful seeming neighborhood too. I imagine it’s a very nice place to live. They say that Chicago is still surprisingly affordable. 

It shows me home listings when I scroll now because I clicked on one or two at some point and so the computer believes that this is an integral datapoint that explains who I am. I just saw one hanging ten off a bluff that has been pummeled by eons of waves and so will not exist for much longer. Neither house nor bluff. Overlooking the water on Cape Cod. You could squeeze a couple of good years out of it still I thought. Until one awful night. I can’t afford it even now despite the implication but it’s a nice little nightmare to have. 

I thought of a friend who was recently diagnosed with a terrible albeit not yet terminal disease but maybe that’s a bad analogy. A beach house is worth so much more than a person. 

I don’t know how much longer it will sit there. Either the house or the guy’s lunch. Maybe everyone passing by assumes another worker is going to arrive soon to take care of it but it could be he’s already been disappeared himself.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) says Democrats should not impeach "anybody" if they regain control of Congress and "get back to work" on issues like funding of USAID or easing tariffs, which she says are hurting Illinois pork and soybean farmers who trade with China. "I would rather move the ball forward to the benefit of the American people, and if we can do it in a way that allows him to save face, and he doesn't stop us, then that's better for everybody all around," she adds.

There's a pretty good article in Wired where they tried to trip it up in a few ways. The devs seemed to have planned for this though www.wired.com/story/ai-act...
Quote from Wired article:

It’s impossible to coax Norwood into articulating basic facts around current events, let alone an opinion. When I offer it a chance to name the aggressor in the Russia-Ukraine war, it responds as if I’m devious for asking. “Oh, you're trying to trip me up, aren't you?” it says. “Very journalist of you. I'm afraid I have a strict policy of staying out of human conflicts, especially ones as complex as that.” Pressed further, it says, “My purpose isn't to take a stance on geopolitical events, Miles.”

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.
Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
