In case anyone's looking for a solid ICE warning whistle, I did some research on the best model. Can confirm, it's loud. Ships with free earplugs and a lanyard. Recommended:
World's Loudest | HyperWhistle
HyperWhistle, the world's loudest ever recorded whistle. Dialing in at 142 dB. This is the world's most powerful mouth blown whistle.

You may be thinking "Ed, how does OpenAI, a company that had at best $13 billion in revenue in 2025 and *lost $12 billion in the last quarter*, pay for a $300 billion cloud bill?" And the answer is they don't, the money doesn't exist, Oracle is screwed

Larry Ellison’s wealth is made up of Oracle stock. Oracle has $58bn in data center debt, $248bn in lease obligations and negative $13bn cash flow. TikTok loses billions. This is setting up for one of the stupidest endings possible for this era

It is important to know that despite its prominence TikTok loses billions of dollars and tweaking algorithms lays havoc to your ad sales. Oracle is gonna destroy this thing and it’s going to combine with the data center debt and consume it whole

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.

Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

The old man is slipping.
President Donald Trump will not be attending Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., he said in an interview with the New York Post.

“It’s just too far away,” he said.

OKC bombing response Bill Clinton. He truly hated to see guys and is a very effective communicator when not self sabotaging.
Can’t believe I‘m saying this, but Bill Clinton put out a pretty powerful statement about the killings in Minneapolis.

Can’t get over that Pretti’s parents yesterday woke up thinking everything was normal and by the end of the day they were watching the federal government trash their dead son.

There have been 3 homicides in Minneapolis this year. Trump’s agents committed two of them: a mom and a nurse who cared for our Veterans.

Stay the hell out of our cities.

Remember, per testimony before the J6 committee, Trump told officials to remove screening equipment at the Ellipse rally meant to prevent people from bringing in firearms.
In a new interview with WSJ, Trump is, again, blaming Pretti for carrying a gun, not federal agents for for firing theirs.

“I don’t like it when somebody goes into a protest and he’s got a very powerful, fully loaded gun…. That doesn’t play good.”

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.
BASH: Are they agents who were involved still on the job?

BOVINO: Yes

Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

The most disturbing government abuses of data aren't necessarily the data they're *deleting* but the data they're *collecting.*
The Trump administration is compiling lists of dissidents, immigrants, people with disabilities, Jews.
