i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

A witness in our case had ICE reject all her documents after using facial rec on her.

For her, tho, it seemed like nothing could make them accept that she has a right to be here.

Either way, a gov policy of not trusting gov-issued docs is going to violate lots of people's rights.

I told the officers nearest to me that I had all my paperwork, including my
U.S. Employment Authorization Card, my Social Security Card, my Florida-issued REAL
ID, and my Mexican Passport.
14. The officers walked me to my car and retrieved my paperwork.
15. The officers reviewed my paperwork and used what I believe was facial
recognition to confirm my identity.
16. At first, they seemed satisfied, but another officer (who appeared to be a
supervisor) said that they could not trust my paperwork because “the Biden Administration
made a lot of mistakes.”

After about 20 minutes in zip-ties, the officers decided that they would not let me go, and they replaced my zip-ties with handcuffs and shackles around my legs.
18. I was in shackles for several hours before the officers finally told me that
they were “giving me a second chance” and let me go.

The USDA is lying. They have $5-6 billion for SNAP.

Here's more details on SNAP money: www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Screenshot from US Forest Service. "Senate Democrats have now voted 12 times to not fund the food stamp program SNAP. Bottom line, the well has run dry" blah blah blah Democrats are trying to starve everyone

These notices have been posted on many US gov't websites, and are both false & a violation of the Hatch Act

Already seeing AI generated videos from people claiming it's from Hurricane Melissa. Be mindful of what you share and put out. Verify sources, and use critical thinking skills.

There is zero reason for anyone, especially reporters, to trust anything that comes out of this administration at any level. This is fantastic reporting.

Most of the arrestees the Spotlight Team identified are casualties of the fentanyl crisis, not kingpins making a living off it. They included a man accused of shoplifting chocolate Swiss rolls and Jolly Ranchers from a Hannaford supermarket and a woman who allegedly crashed a car into a column at a local bank and left the scene.

Some of the 171 arrestees had significant quantities of drugs, but neither court documents nor agency spokespersons provided evidence that they were high-ranking members of the notorious syndicate. Many suspects’ only link to Sinaloa was that they were consumers of drugs the cartel may have helped bring into the country.

DEA officials last week said they were unable to comment on the Spotlight findings because of the government shutdown. Instead, they flagged eight federal investigations they said were part of the Sinaloa crackdown.

Two humorous social media posts about cats believing their owners can control nature, like rain and sunlight.

Transcribed Text:

Feline_Tales

My cats have this meow that means “please come with me to fix this” after which they’ll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or ‘empty’) food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the ‘problem’, they look back at me, clear message.

What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my ‘power.’ I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. “Please fix this” they say. “Please get rid of the wet”

“Silly kitty,” I say, “I can’t control the rain.” I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.

purrfect_logic

I hope this is a universal cat owner experience. Every single night he begs me to turn the sun back on so he can watch birds on the balcony. I tell him no, I cannot do that.

But I can turn lights on and off in the house and he’s fairly certain I’m just not applying myself properly here.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

Hurricane Melissa is about to slam into Jamaica as the strongest hurricane on record ever to hit them; stronger even than Hurricane Katrina.

Thinking of the people trying to ride this thing out right now. They’re going to need help once it passes, I’m worried the island will be devastated.

I’d encourage everyone to do the same and to tell every politician or prospective politician every time you have the opportunity to. We need to get “state housing on state land by a state builder” back on the table

Dr Panti Bliss-Cabrera @pantibliss.bsky.social · Jul 29

I will not vote for any party that doesn’t firmly and unequivocally commit to building universal social housing by a state agency. If your party’s housing plan involves tinkering around the edges of planning/incentives/regulations or relies on developers or “the market”, you won’t get a vote from me
