Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

This is why things have to be approved and appropriated by Congress. There is a process for these things that includes funding, and having government employees manage projects. It should never be "just a POTUS making a decisions with private money" because this is the USA stiffing contractors.
Everyone saw this coming.
Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH.
And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

note: if you use the setting that groups your email in tabs -- promotions, primary, etc -- turning off the AI takes this away. kind of a steep price. Google is gambling that you don't wanna migrate all your email elsewhere, idk though, maybe it's a prompt
you do have to do it in a couple of places but this tutorial makes it easy to go uncheck the boxes that otherwise lets Google's AI read all your shit. or move everything over to protonmail but moving everything over is a giant thing I know.
Google has started automatically opting you in to let it read your stuff to train AI. You need to turn this off in SEVERAL places in your settings (not just for Gmail), if you want to maintain privacy and confidentiality.

China's stealth tech is at best based on our F-117 (Gen 1). The F-35 is a different animal in the same family. The bigger concern is that the F-35 is what is protecting Taiwan. The second China makes a move, they're flying out of Japan with afterburners! If China has equal tech, bad day for ROC!
