The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

I grew up in a predominately white neighborhood. And one thing I figured out pretty early is that racist white people automatically assume all other white people are racist too. It's their baseline.

A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling").
They genuinely thought once they started doing open racism, everyone would join in

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

I never hear the same hand-wringing about Tesla importing cars into Canada when it’s clear it has no intention of ever producing them here 🤷
This deal allows 49,000 Chinese EVs into Canada each year.
For perspective, Tesla sold 55,000 vehicles in Canada in 2024, but less than 20,000 in 2025.

Canada’s going to start getting some Chinese EVs!
I just hope this quota deal is the first step to getting BYD to set up a factory in exchange for broader access.

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school.
Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

And one more thing. Students. If you have a professor who is, for some reason, outsourcing their own job to ChatGPT....drop the class.
If they tell you to "ask ChatGPT" for sources, drop the class.
Because they apparently don't know their own discipline well enough to teach it.

I say this as someone who has been actively researching GenAI ethnographically for the last few years.
The idea that ChatGPT is some kind of unfair leg up is Silicon Valley propaganda. It's really not and it is more recognizable than you might think.

A big part of the "ICE and Border Patrol guys could never make it in the military or a real police force" rhetoric is just cope that allows folks to keep pretending that cops and military don't have large numbers of violent, sociopathic toolbags themselves. They do.

Another thing, in light of the fake news about the head of the Proud Boys working for ICE.
The existing culture of ICE and Border Patrol is literally already more extreme than the culture of the Proud Boys. So I wouldn't even be worried about that scenario.

Now are ICE and CBP lowering their standards? Absolutely. Were their standards high to begin with? No, especially not for Deportation Officers and Patrol Agents.

There's a large percentage of ICE and Border Patrol receuits with prior military or law enforcement experience who already fit the "us vs. them" culture of these agencies.
They see immigrants, darker-skinned people, leftists, and queers as invaders — not fully human and deserving of abuse.

I'm not sure where this idea comes from that ICE and Border Patrol couldn't hack it in the "real" military. The data does not support this; in fact both of these agencies recruit heavily from the military. A very large number of Border Patrol agents and Deportation Officers are former infantry.

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

Make no mistake: "Give ICE better training" = Give ICE more money
When politicians tell you shit like that, they're literally ignoring everything that's happening and arguing that ICE should get MORE money.
They've already done it for half a century with the cops.
