291·4 days agoSpeaking to CBS, DeWine said: “This is something that came up on the internet, and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes.
It didn’t just come up “on the internet” you cowardly shit stain, it came out of the mouth of the presidential candidate you said you’d be voting for
Close, but she’s not being sued, she’s actually being criminally prosecuted on six felony charges
Isn’t that fucking special.
In-fucking-deed it is
What are they going to do about the bad cops?
They all already got a variety of punishments (generally not harsh enough imo, but their conduct runs all the way from rigging an intramural athletic competition to driving drunk with a loaded firearm, so it’s a bit of a complicated picture and worth reading the full article for those details). She was looking them up after the fact so the prosecutor’s office she works for now (Los Angeles county) didn’t call on them to testify in court (or, if they had to call them for whatever reason, so her office knew to let defense attorneys know about this as theoretically required under the Brady opinion (but exactly what things are Brady material and what can be ignored is something attorneys will be fighting over until the end of time and something I believe LA county and the CA attorney general have argued over in recent history)).
That sounds more like how people have always used social media (e.g. bragging about any accomplishments they can, hiding any difficulties they’re going through, etc.) and how US based marketers have always used American Dream bullshit to pressure people into spending themselves into debt than any kind of coordinated foreign disinfo campaign to me
Beyond that, the fact that “people can come to the US and find prosperity and stability” is a lie seems to be the bigger underlying problem here
tl;dr, the local racists get big mad and protest a bit while the reasonable make arrangements and gather supplies, and then the migrants settle in and life moves on like it was all never any big deal to begin with (because it wasn’t)
Seriously, it’s truly infuriating how much money there is to be made beating children in this country, but at least another one of these trauma factories is getting exposed and probably going to be shut down
471·11 days agoUnfortunately the US Department of Justice says they agree because they are (yet again) bending over backwards to protect right wingers from being held accountable for their actions to harm our country
9·16 days agoNot the most evil bastard in history, but I think the world would be a vastly different and better place if Klemens von Metternich died young.
he did.
*organized labor forced him to do.
His opponent is Kari fucking Lake, so I guess he figures we’ll just roll over and take it. The country is more fucked up and hopelessly mired in systems of violent subjugation than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime and I have no idea what to do about it other than share the news and volunteer in my community.
You might dig No Joy, Lush, Cindy Lee, the Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine
What the hell is shoegaze, anyway?
Ask four different people and you’ll get four different answers, but the term first started to get thrown at bands as an insult around the late 80s in the UK because guitarists in certain alternative bands would be using so many different effects during their performances they’d spend the whole show staring at their pedalboards (I think a review of a My Bloody Valentine show in particular is where the term got coined)
The sad part is this is how people in the DNC must actually think to give these assholes speaking time at their convention when the only commendable thing they ever did was admit to making a mistake most Americans were smart enough to not make in the first place
This isn’t about them using them for monthly reports, this is about them using LLMs for individual incident reports
Pulling from all the sounds and radio chatter picked up by the microphone attached to Gilbert’s body camera, the AI tool churned out a report in eight seconds. …
Oklahoma City’s police department is one of a handful to experiment with AI chatbots to produce the first drafts of incident reports. Police officers who’ve tried it are enthused about the time-saving technology, while some prosecutors, police watchdogs and legal scholars have concerns about how it could alter a fundamental document in the criminal justice system that plays a role in who gets prosecuted or imprisoned.
Yeah, these hypocritical dipshits are the first to cheer on Palestinians getting deplatformed and harassed, and they want me to give a shit that they were occasionally prevented from spreading misinformation about medical realities in the middle of a pandemic? A middle finger the size of the sun isn’t big enough for these assholes.

Yeah, I’m not a Texan but I also disagree about this. Also, Austin has produced some amazing music over the years (for example, random Austin band I’ve been in love with recently is Being Dead).
So it sounds like, from the article, that ICE wasn’t counting those individuals because CBP was/they were initially booked in by CBP?
Those were some of the previously unreported detentions, but ICE’s record keeping has been so sloppy we can’t say what percentage of those were caused by that or something else, or why ICE thought they didn’t have to report these detentions (like, they couldn’t point to a policy to explain why they did count those detentions between 2019-2021 but then just stopped in 2022).
The agency also failed to be transparent about whether its methodology for determining which detentions of individuals are included or excluded in its reporting has changed over time. In particular, officials told the GAO that ICE included tens of thousands of detentions of individuals where the first stay was at a specific CBP holding facility for 2019 through 2021. However, ICE decided not to include detentions of individuals held in that same holding facility in their calculation of initial book-ins for fiscal year 2022.

Yea it should be addressed but it’s written to sound like ICE was hiding 200k people in their facilities
I mean, we told ICE to report on how many people they were detaining, then had some auditors double check the number they reported, and the auditors found they didn’t report about 42% of the people in their custody, which hid about 200k detained people from lawmakers and policy advocates and anyone else who cares how many people we’re locking up to maintain our immigration system.
It might just be rampant incompetence and apathy on ICE’s part, but given all the reports of racism and abuse we’ve seen come out of that agency in particular there’s almost certainly a lot of nefarious behavior being concealed by the incompetence and apathy.
The term’s been around since 2017
I hate how many people seem to be fighting for this title
