Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

As I was saying: "The two parties are unconsciously regarded as akin to a husband and wife in a traditional marriage in which it's the job of the wife to placate and soothe the husband and help him realize his goals or be held responsible for his outbursts and outrages."

The Trump admin is going after subsistence rights of Alaska Natives, in part by lobbying from the safari group representing sport hunters. This is part of a larger move building against Native land rights in AK (re: mining, oil). You don’t have to be Native or a resident of AK to leave a comment!

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

People who are fed easy (but not great) solutions to their problems tend to get lazy. People who get intellectually lazy (like chatgpt users) are not exercising their brains. ChatGPT users get stupider. In the end it's those of us who won't use AI who will get the shit done.

To whom it may concern:
I write in my capacity as Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism regarding your organization's alleged role in financing and materially supporting the coordinated protests and riots that have engulfed Los Angeles in recent weeks. While peaceful protest is a cornerstone of American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions. They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and disrupted the rule of law. This lawlessness is unacceptable. It must end.
Credible reporting now suggests that your organization has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals engaged in these disruptive actions. Let me be clear: bankrolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is aiding and abetting criminal conduct. Accordingly, you must immediately cease and desist any further involvement in the organization, funding, or promotion of these unlawful activities.
Furthermore, please preserve the following records from November 5, 2024 to present:
1. All internal communications, including emails, text messages, chat logs, and messaging applications, relating to protest planning, coordination, or funding.
2. All financial documents related to protests, demonstrations, or mobilization efforts in Los Angeles or elsewhere relating to immigration enforcement.
3. All third-party contracts or vendor agreements, including any arrangements with event organizers, transportation providers, security personnel, or communications consultants relating to immigration enforcement or the Los Angeles protests, or similar pr…

Today while covering the Paramount ICE stand off an ICE vehicle rammed a barricade and then into a crowd of protesters. The feeling that consumed was the same that I felt watching the towers fall on 9/11. I vomited. My hands sweated. I felt like my bp dropped through the floor. I broke crying.

The old adage, “If the product is free, then *you* are the product,” is certainly apt here. But in this case, the product isn’t just you but, in particular, *your stupidity.* We should all be asking why the stupidity of millions of students is so valuable, and to whom.
