Homan says the ICE drawdown in Minnesota is "already underway this week, and will continue into the next week."
A "small footprint" will remain, he says.
But Trump's ICE surge in Minneapolis is officially over.

Screenshotting this and alt texting all of it since it will most likely get deleted because Hammam is Palestinian. It deserves to be seen and not erased.
![A post by Hammam, a known Palestinian nurse here. It is a wuote by an account of a man named Nathan Kalman Lamb who is posting an excerpt from an article. The article reads:
Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies "the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw—a medical saw, a bone saw-and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken." Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either alive-via brain death-or just-dead—via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners' torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can't. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts as-is—a soldier.
Nathan says hes honestly speechless.
Hammam quotes him to say:
The director of the hospital where I work, Al-Shifa Hospital, stated that the occupation forces returned the bodies of women whose organs were missing. Another source also reported that the occupation forces were using a school in northern Gaza to detain women & civilians and harvest their organs](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ztkrqibfkvmwtfa64r25n4sv/bafkreifs4clyqslx544scmacf6lhpruangn2nnhs4cypijdl2t43amj7ay@jpeg)

The most annoying facet of AI marketing is people like this braying in your face that it's here to stay because their stock portfolio demands it. Meanwhile actual tech innovation is getting kneecapped because AI made ram cost $5000 🙄
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.
