I still have a lot of reservations about connected cars, and what I'd really like to see is a law requiring automakers to fit a telematics disabling air-gapping switch at some point.
But honestly, just a sign we're not resigning ourselves to this shit is refreshing these days...
Here are things that happened at the DNC today:
1) Resolution calling to abolish ICE unanimously adopted
2) Brand-new early state calendar that reflects the full diversity of the Democratic base
3) Rejection of insider efforts to ban RCV from being used in presidential primaries
Great results here

SAME SENATOR SIX MONTHS LATER: (walking like a saddle-sore cowboy) This is the greatest public health crisis of our lives,
Big redistricting news:
New York Democrats plan to unveil and pass a constitutional amendment by Thursday that would let them redraw the congressional map in 2028 and target up to 4 GOP seats.

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.
Despite the administration’s rhetoric and bogus legal theories, the supposed armed conflict with “narco-terrorists” appears to be entirely make believe.
Murder is the general term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict.
Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"
The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]
Trump: "Effective immediately, the US Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz...Additionally & at an appropriate moment, we are fully 'LOCKED AND LOADED,' & our Military will finish up little that is left of Iran!"
Among other things in the birthright citizenship case, the government’s position is that people who have volunteered for and served in the American military “lack allegiance” such that their American-born-and-raised children would not be citizens

From me: Chuck Schumer's legislative demands for DHS funding are so narrow they almost mirror what ICE/CBP have just announced in Minneapolis. Just as Republicans were conceding the need to negotiate, Democrats pre-negotiated themselves into mush.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”
I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.
ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms
