ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM. A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

COINTELPRO. US/Rod Karenga pitted against BPP too. FBI drew up political threats and sent them to each group made to look like the groups sent them to each other. My mom was in CORE & active with SCLC. She always told me the US gov't had to keep the groups fragmented or they'd be too strong unified.

Palantir shifting from hiring only "Ivy or Ivy-equivalent" degrees to hiring only out of high school is an admission that "training" and "talent" were never factors at all. They were looking for packaging & prestige, and now they're looking for ignorance & impressionability.

Tech companies launching their own programs to train grads because they ‘can’t rely’ on Ivy Leagues
By Lydia Moynihan
Published Oct. 1, 2026, 6:00 a.m. ET

As the university system increasingly becomes a wildly expensive bastion of anti-Western sentiment, key figures in Silicon Valley are betting on alternatives to higher education. They argue that even the Ivy League is no longer producing the best candidates — nor are they even accepting some of the most qualified students.

“It used to be the case that you could rely on somebody who went to an Ivy or Ivy-equivalent to be top notch,” said Jordan Hirsch, who runs Palantir’s semester-long intensive Meritocracy Fellowship, which accepts high school graduates.“But that’s not the case anymore… we suspected that there was a lot of talent being missed.”

Revelio & the BLS continue to strongly disagree about what's happening to hiring & turnover. I love that Revelio share their data (and don't sugarcoat it - that's what any data provider with integrity would do) but I think the BLS is correct here.

Why "weak" payrolls are no longer weak: With plunging immigration and Boomer retirements, breakeven job growth has collapsed from 200k/mo to near zero. Strong labor + sticky inflation = rates stay higher for longer. 🛑📈 T at Apollo

Here's the crux of the ruling blocking Trump from firing court-appointed US Attorney Roger Rogoff in Seattle: Allowing it would "upend" the constitutional order. Trump's tried to end-run Senate confirmation for US Attorneys in five states and failed. Now, he's gunning for the judiciary's power.

Allowing the President to fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney would upend
the framework created by the Constitution and the statutory framework, which together balances the President’s right to appoint and the Senate’s right to confirm. Allowing the President to fire a court-appointed U.S. Attorney also eliminates the incentive to nominate a candidate that can be conferred by the Senate—in other words, bypassing the requirement that the Executive and Legislative branches work together to nominate and confirm the U.S. Attorney.

To me, you've been one of the smartest all along. Another problem with the US: we need to stop running off the helpers and calling canaries in the coal mines "chicken littles." I've watched too many perceptive people who aren't famous be correct and dismissed. We didn't need to let all this happen.
