Cmdr. Lillian Carranza said it was irresponsible for people to describe the arrests as “kidnappings” and encourage people to call 911, saying that there is misinformation circulating online about how and when federal authorities can arrest someone. Authorities don’t need to present a warrant when encountering someone on the street, she said; all they need is probable cause. “If people have concerns about the conduct of federal agents, they need to seek justice in court,” she said. “That is the place to litigate the case. Not the streets.”

A) ICE is moving people beyond their local jurisdiction as quickly as they can, and are deliberately not updating records as to where people have been taken, specifically to avoid being held up by the courts.

B) How do you seek justice in the courts when the officers won’t show their faces, won’t identify themselves or the agency they work for, and reports they file don’t name the officers or departments involved? How do you seek justice in the courts when they’re deliberately and repeatedly moving people around specifically to keep them beyond the reach of the courts?

Given the way Tesla and Xitter have imploded, the loss of his public mask, and his orange feud threatening his government subsidies, his family’s evil history, and his own addictions, I would not be at all surprised if he started running drugs.

Don’t get an in-door ice maker. If you have to have an ice maker, have it internal to the unit.

Check out what maintenance you need to do before you buy it, and how easy the maintenance will be given the space you’re putting the unit into. Like, if it’s a tight fit and surrounded on three sides, cleaning the coils might be problematic, etc.

You can, but then you never know what the junk is hiding: patches of bare dirt, certainly, but also oil, transmission fluid or other toxic seeping into the ground, small bits of metal parts (you know they’re not going to find everything) that become missiles when bit with a lawnmower, etc.

Remember all those videos of police screaming “Stop Resisting” at people who very clearly weren’t resisting? Congratulations, you’re now a violent criminal.

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

And suddenly, everything the Russian banks do is related to civil nuclear energy …

I would love AOC as president. Unfortunately, she’s a woman and she’s a minority, and this country is just too racist and sexist - and stupid! - to elect her.

This can only end well …

There was a NYT article about three different incidents of ice impersonators back in February.

Until they change their ToS (without telling you) and enable it by default (and hide the controls that let you decline).

Facial recognition apps are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to minority faces, but I suppose they think that’s a benefit :(

I can only hope …

In other words, meta is harvesting your WhatsApp data, and gives you a (potentially inaccurate) summary in exchange for feeding their LLMs.

Just a reminder that the “border” in the US extends 100 miles inland from any actual physical border - so 100 miles inland from Canada, Mexico, the Atlantic, Pacific or Arctic oceans, or the Gulf of Mexico.

And that for the last decade or so, they’ve also been trying to claim that any international airport is also a border, so the “border” would extend 100 out from Denver, Saint Louis, Indianapolis, etc.

And they’ve been trying to claim that an “international” airport is any airport capable of landing an international flight, regardless of whether any international flights actually fly there.

Concentration camps.

There’s nothing to prove that you were home with your phone.

I’m sorry :( It was such a good store!

How is a manufacturer going to be held responsible for their flaws when musk DOGE’d investigating his companies?

I would love to get some of these data centers off our power grid.
