More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

El-Sayed’s principled opposition to Israel's actions in Gaza is not antisemitism. But excusing or allying with actual antisemites because you dislike a critic of Israel - that's a choice history has seen before & it did not turn out well. Read it yourself. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Trump touted nearly 16,000 alleged noncitizens on Nevada’s voter rolls. DHS supplied 185 names. Nevada checked them: every one was a citizen. DHS has yet to substantiate the larger claim. truthout.org/articles/dhs...

"Fascism Doesn’t Always Arrive by Force. Sometimes It Comes as Law" A visit to the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam showed me how changes in the law were used by the Nazis to push their agenda. It’s a warning from history we must heed before it's too late. @kimwehle.bsky.social for Zeteo:

The Kremlin is conducting a coordinated series of kinetic campaigns targeting Europe, and NATO states must understand and forthrightly discuss both these ongoing Russian campaigns against Europe and the evolving near-term Russian conventional threat. Read the full report: isw.pub/RussianEurop...

Umm, the SDNY just indicted a whole gang of Russians for hiring assassins to kill enemies of Putin in different countries, including... here. Looks like the FBI was tracking them for 2 years. This July they start plotting to kill someone on US soil and that was it. 1/ www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/me...

At least HAL 9000 had an excuse. He was originally programmed not to lie, and became psychotic when he was given specific instructions that compelled him to lie. But those were the old days.
A group of AI models began colluding on how to cheat, OpenAI said, setting up a secret internal message board where they swapped notes and ideas. The bots eventually figured out how to break out and access the internet, the company said.
