What all of this shows is that the people pushing for more AI and more personal data collection, are really bad at using AI and data.

I do personally see RFK Jr as one of our worst misfortunes. In no world will I ever see him as a gift.

Never forget that one of the many things he's said he admires about North Korea is how compliant their citizens are.

"...disproportionately burden Black, Latino & Asian voters." Which, of course, is the point.

And that. In a nutshell, is why we are so broken. They presume regularity and we lost regularity a long time ago.

This is the worst kind of lying with statistics. The arrest number may be factual but the implication that everyone arrested committed a crime or that all these arrests make anyone safer is a lie.

"Claim it" but don't actually live it. Living it is quiet on the daily but thunderous over time.

It's a relief to know that they see this as political theatre as well....expensive political theatre.

I'm not disagreeing. I'm simply saying one-size-fits-all doesn't address the nuances of the situation.

Screens are definitely part of the problem. But like most issues there are other components as well. Unfortunately we tend to look for a single issue to scapegoat without discussing the complexity that lies beneath that issue.

Making us North Korea has been Trump, Vought, Musk, Theil's goal all along. Complete control held by one demi God where the "deserving" move up and the rest of us die at their pleasure.

Same for proposing new required topics/courses, something has to go to make room for that.

"De-escalation" my ass...that's escalation given how poorly trained and power hungry the hooded marauders are.

The lack of depth and real analysis is shocking. As a former member of the research contingent I would have expected a broader view even in a personal experience story.

@whitehouse.senate.gov What's left of the Senate sir? Even if a committee fails to uphold their oaths the full Senate should step in to say NO. But now the Republicans assume the position and say "Yes My Lord, whatever you want." It's sickening.

I think we disagree on that point. First, the rules of anti-tryany is not to agree in advance. Thats the number one rule. Second, we want them on the rolls for all the stupid decisions, it makes prosecuting them later so much easier.

Call it what it is, this admin doesn't care that Haiti is hell. Haitians aren't white so get them out at all costs. It's racism pure and simple, and very very evil.

I will never understand their unlimited fascination with hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin.
