Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

More training isn't going to fix the ethnic cleansing squad! The problem is that we employ an ethnic cleansing squad that attracts the type of people who would want to be part of an ethnic cleansing squad!

#dataviz educators, what are some things you could use from the R/Python ecosystem of packages but in the browser for no-code teaching? Last year I made Pivotteer to provide a GUI for dplyr's pivot functions (unparalleled API), what else would be nice to have?

NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

UCLA alum and Angeleno here, this takes 5 minutes of your time and is worth making your voice heard.
Hey, fellow UC grads/CA residents:
1. Contact the Board of Regents: regents.universityofcalifornia.edu
2. Contact your state assemblymembers: www.assembly.ca.gov/assemblymemb...
Ask them why Hegseth gets to film propaganda at a UC location. /former Assembly staffer:

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

They removed ICE Block, so I think it's a fair ask.

Renee Good’s murder was not just a homicide, it’s a hate crime against women, called femicide.
Good told ICE, "That's fine, I'm not mad at you" and was shot 3 times in the head point blank, Ross yelled the misogynist slur, "fucking bitch" after killing her. #3E #endimpunity

some of us know it comes before a fist lands.
I haven’t (and most likely won’t) watch the recently released video but I swear I can hear that “fucking bitch” in my head clear as day. The snarling hate and disgust. Every woman has heard it.
