Our lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft argues that the companies built their immensely valuable product via “the largest theft of labor in human history.” Actually, those aren’t our words. They came from Microsoft’s director of applied science, Brent Hecht.

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

Last week some of the wealthiest people in the country had tantrums because there’s small changes being made to the tax system. (Not enough in my opinion) while we have disabled people being thrown off the only support they have. While charities are running out of food for people.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

This kind of framing simply can't become the new paradigm and it needs to be tackled NOW. This is setting up an economic argument for all kinds of potential horrors excused by both late stage capitalism and altruistic humanism.

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."
It remains to be seen how the Venezuelan people will respond to a more overt CIA presence in the country post-Maduro. For years, Maduro cast the CIA as a convenient boogey man, repeatedly accusing the agency – without evidence – of attempting to topple his regime as he clung to power despite US opposition.

Now, the CIA has helped supplant Maduro and is poised to help actively manage the Trump administration’s dealings with Venezuela’s new leadership.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.”  It sounds fierce.  It feels righteous.  But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless.

The Gestapo was a secret police force.  No warrants.  No courts.  No lawyers.  And no appeals.  People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything.  The knock on the door was the sentence.

ICE isn’t that.  Not even close.

ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials.  Its agents file reports.  They seek warrants.  They lose cases.  Judges stop them.  Lawyers challenge them.  Some detainees go home.  That’s not tyranny.  That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse.

You can hate immigration policy.  You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad.  You can work to have the law changed if you wish.  That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do.  

But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil.  You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor.  And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize.

In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight.  This one hasn't yet.  It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses.

That difference matters.

Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history.  We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with.

And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

They are kidnapping non-white people, regardless of status only to sort them out later, often not even taking them to the federal building but abandoning them beaten miles from where they were. And they are brutalizing witnesses, most of whom are white citizens who only have whistles and phones.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

By Douglas MacMillan
When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the Jan. 3 death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said “staff observed him in distress,” and it gave no cause of death.

An employee of El Paso County’s Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Campos’s daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide, according to a recording of the conversation.

In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there “is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression,” which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, “our doctor is believing that we’re going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.”In an interview with The Post, Santos Jesus Flores, a man who says he was detained in the segregation unit the day Lunas Campos died, said he saw at least five guards struggling with Lunas Campos after he refused to enter the segregation unit, complaining that he didn’t have his medications. Flores said he saw guards choking Lunas Campos and heard Lunas Campos repeatedly saying, “No puedo respirar” — Spanish for “I can’t breathe.” Medical staff tried to resuscitate him for an hour, after which they took his body away, Flores said.

“He said, ‘I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe.’ After that, we don’t hear his voice anymore and that’s it,” said Flores, who had contacted a family member of Lunas Campos, who in turn put him in touch with a Post reporter. The Post confirmed Flores was in Camp East Montana through ICE’s detainee locator.
