Erika Kirk turned her husband’s murder into the business opportunity of a lifetime. She has a lot to teach us about deals.
Why is Andrew Ross Sorkin hosting Erika Kirk at the Dealbook Summit?
Honest line of inquiry - what could she possibly elevate about macroeconomic factors that's so important it crowds out her organization's relentless bigotry?

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

I will not take a single one of them seriously or view them as anything other than collaborators if they do not stop voting for trump nominees. Not. One.
For the second day in a row, Dems help confirm a Trump nominee. This time it is the anti-choice & crypto obsessed Matthew Orso to be a District Judge for Western North Carolina. He is confirmed 57-41. Between 4 to 6 Dems voted yea and I will post who did once the roll call is posted.

So when Sabrina Carpenter rips the Trump White House for using her song in a disgusting video that glorifies migrant arrests, there's a much bigger story here going on behind it:
Trump's white nationalist aides are churning out vile videos glorifying migrant suffering. But Trump-MAGA are *losing* the online culture wars over deportations, because the humane side is info-warring better.
