If you want to know what people mean when they say Democrats are "controlled opposition," rather than whipping votes against ICE funding, Hakeem Jeffries struck a deal with Republicans to allow Democrats to feign outrage at ICE while still funding the spending package.

With video of another street execution from ICE going around, a reminder that while video documentation of atrocities is important, you have no ethical obligation to watch videos of people dying. Traumatizing yourself isn’t advocacy. You do not have to watch the video to be outspoken against this

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Independence. They choose independence and have been fighting for independence and sovereignty for a very long time. We colonized Greenland and brutalized the indigenous inhabitants, we were doing forced sterilisation to their bodies until the fucking 1990s.
In Denmark, you get free healthcare, free university education, a solid state pension and 5-star public transport.
The USA have people going bankrupt to pay medical fees, many with huge student loan debts and ICE terror on top of it all.
If you were from Greenland - who would you choose?

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

I remember saying months ago that the reason you don't see Proud Boys anymore is because they're all ICE agents now and I had a bunch of people poo-poo me and say I was reaching.
And now the leader of the Proud Boys is in the list of ICE agents that a whistleblower just leaked.

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

In animation I've seen plenty of people assume their dept. is the hardest/most vital. As someone who's worked from vis dev to final stringout I can tell you: it's all vital. It's all skilled work. An engine is an important car part, but it still won't run without wheels. Be a team, not a tier list.
