NEW: The Department of Justice is falling apart. Attorneys are leaving, courts are overwhelmed with immigration cases, and actual crimes are slipping through the cracks. Is that by design? Andy McCabe and I cover it all on today's UnJustified. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

We predicted almost this exact scenario in the VISION MACHINE graphic novel in 2011.

Only in our book they used a little missing girl instead of a lost dog to get people to sign up for digital mass surveillance.
Page from the VISION MACHINE graphic novel from 2011. Panel 1: The Sprout Computers CEO Liz Evers speaks to news cameras: EVERS: ...Sprout Computers is PROUD to announce a new cooperative mission with the United States Digital Initiative and Department of Homeland Security. EVERS: Now every iEye user can opt into the PENNY NETWORK... Panel 2: Buddy watches a television with chibi images of a cop talking to a citizen - both are wearing iEyes and there are networked images of people's faces floating around them. EVERS' VOICE: "...giving law enforcement the ability to run facial recognition software on all of the people you come into contact with during the day." COP: Thanks, citizen! PERSON: You bet, sir! BUDDY: Whatev! Panel 3: Image of little Black girl holding a stuffed bear - to her right are the words "PENNY JINADU. Three years old. 35 pounds. 39 inches tall. Last seen at the Chicago O'Hare Airport. Missing: 21 hours 32 minutes." Panel 4: Close on Buddy, peering over the tops of his iEyes, looking ambivalent but concerned. BUDDY: Aw, man.

“[Trump’s] underlying project of mass deportations in service of ethnonationalist renewal faces widespread public condemnation. The old tried-and-true cultural barbs have lost their potency. Much of the energy is on the other side. Whether Trump knows it or not, he’s losing this war very badly.”
gregsargent.bsky.social Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 18h
Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.

I've got fresh data illustrating the point. 1/

Trump Rages at Bad Bunny—and Accidentally Exposes a Big MAGA Weakness
MAGA’s hatred of the Super Bowl halftime performer reflects a hubris about what parts of the culture are “theirs.” But those assumptions are proving more wrong every day.

The right should be worried.
4 frame comic. A street reporter is interviewing a bearded man. The reporter asks, off-frame : sir! do you think liberals will stop caring about the Epstein files now that it's becoming clear that it doesn't contain anything that could incriminate Trump? The bearded man replies : do you know who are in the epstein files? rich Cis white elites who are being exposed for spending the last decade engineering a #metoo backlash to make sure that they will never again be held accountable for their actions. do you know who are not in the epstein files? trans people. and we now have proofs that the anti-trans moral panic was largely master- minded by Epstein and his associates. actually, there's one trans girl in there: Ava cordero, an early victim of epstein who the press mocked. we now have proof that her case was settled off-court. what people on the right should worry about today isn't whether Trump will survive this or not, but how naked the truth is: that their whole "anti-woke" movement was engineered to protect pedophiles and sexual abusers.

Everyone is suddenly considering buying the Gripen.. not bad for a fighter jet that some Canadian Armed Forces high-ups think is inferior to the F-35. Canada should get in their order now.

Two Ottawa. Citizen headlines. 1. 'No question' return-to-office will be good for downtown, board of trade says 2. Still no timeline for resumption of normal Ottawa public transit service, GM says

Spicy take, but the 20% of the people who don't make it back to a stable life still deserve to have their basic needs met.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

It's also a policy failure that we haven't gotten better at distance learning. Teachers need more support and training to do this properly.
