This should be a huge national story. A conservative judge released a list of 96 times—which he said is an undercount—that ICE violated court orders in January alone. The government is illegally imprisoning people without due process. You can’t reconcile that with law & order.

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

AI can make work faster, but a fear is that relying on it may make it harder to learn new skills on the job. We ran an experiment with software engineers to learn more. Coding with AI led to a decrease in mastery—but this depended on how people used it. https://t.co/lbxgP11I4I

Alex Pretti doesn't have "stock," he isn't alive. CBP agents shot him in the back 10 times and killed him after disarming and pepper spraying him because he tried to protect a woman they were assaulting.

I cannot stress this enough. Homan claimed that ICE was prevented from taking criminals from prison. He didn't name a single case or jurisdiction because it isn't true. Homan needs an off ramp and is getting one by suggesting that MN law enforcement was protecting criminals.

Removing a document after it's release is yet another example of them breaking the Act. They can update redactions for victims or CSAM issues by pushing a new version of the file. This file didn't show any victim names. There was NO legal grounds to remove it.

In any normal era, it would be a national scandal for a U.S. Senator to threaten a government shutdown because he’s mad that his insanely corrupt ploy to secure a multi-million dollar personal kickback was blocked – exactly what Lindsey Graham is doing right now.

It bears noting also that, while ICE has become a proto-fascist paramilitary group as its “surveillance spending” has skyrocketed over the last decade, it has also become far less effective at actually deporting illegal immigrants. Obama deported more illegal immigrants than

ICE isn’t just brutal. It’s also big business. From 2008 to 2021 ICE spent *$1.2 billion* on geolocation tracking, $561M on data analysis, $252M on government databases, and $97M on data brokers. Most of that went to companies who will lobby for this system to stay in place.

The problem w/ people canonizing Pretti, or making him out to be some incredible person is that it becomes unacceptable to shoot him because he's a great guy. No, it was wrong to shoot him because he was disarmed. I don't care if he was an awesome dude or not. It doesn't matter.

The guy didn't deserve to be shot if he had been disarmed -- I think an investigation will reveal it was a tragic accident -- but canonizing him is absurd. He was a nutter.

A staple of authoritarian states: using their executive power to arbitrarily revoke privileges & selectively punish political opponents, in this case for peaceful and lawful behaviour. The courts are failing under this broad assault on the rule of law. https://t.co/NZV61Rqa9I

Here's how it would alter the analysis: 1. It's evidence they had a motive to murder him. 2. It's evidence that they knew he wasn't a deadly threat because even when they assaulted him previously and broke his rib he didn't go for his gun, despite having it on him.

The video of Alex Pretti kicking the ICE vehicle tail light into pieces certainly WOULD alter the analysis IF THE TAIL LIGHT EVENT WERE KNOWN TO THE OFFICERS AT THE SCENE OF THE SHOOTING--IT WOULD MAKE THE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION ALL THE STRONGER.
