In other words, an editor of a magazine that explicitly advocated for white supremacy in the 50’s and 60’s let the mask they’ve since put on slip for a second
This would explain why their governor is still on record saying he’s going to vote for Trump. I bet he doesn’t mind having an excuse to send a bunch of state troopers and surveillance tech into a city during an election year either.
Speaking 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
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.
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.
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.

Also
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
Yeah, it fucking sucks how racist both parties are towards South and Central Americans
Just as a point of clarification - that article seems to be talking about protests on Tuesday, whereas this article is talking about protests Wednesday night. My general understanding is that there was a permitted and police escorted protest Monday near the DNC convention site, the one in your article Tuesday which wasn’t permitted and went near the Israeli consulate and ended up with hospitalized protesters, and then this one Wednesday which also wasn’t permitted but marched more towards the DNC convention site and (to the best of my knowledge at this point) didn’t end up with anyone needing hospitalization.
The things that article describes happening to protesters and journalists are unacceptable and demand police accountability, but it seems like those things didn’t happen Wednesday night for what that’s worth.
Surprised to see police acting reasonable.
Yeah, same, after all the other heinous shit we’ve seen cops do to protesters at other times over the years this has been incredibly refreshing.
Along with 68, I think a big part of it is not wanting to repeat 2020. It took an insane number of wrongful arrests and incidents of brutality being caught on video but it might have finally temporarily sunk in for police leadership in one city that getting aggressive with protesters just makes them get aggressive back, but if you keep force to an absolute minimum people will usually just get their frustrations out of their system verbally and connect with some like minded people and everyone gets to go home without any black eyes or broken bones or shit.
Requesting asylum is not illegal and is actually a right protected under international law
For a certain class of voters who might not care about those issues (which I will agree are all actually very important) - point out how he’s an Ivy league educated elite, whose military service was being a PR officer, and who’s said things like this about the working class whites he supposedly speaks for
People talk about hard work all the time in places like Middletown. You can walk through a town where 30 percent of the young men work fewer than twenty hours a week and find not a single person aware of his own laziness.
The guy is the exact sort of elite phony that ought to piss off Trump’s core supporters if anyone could get them to realize it
Maybe they were doing an attempt at meta humor based on people talking past each other? Idk, this thread is an impressive mess.
The article beneath the headline actually says
FWIW, headlines and subtitles usually aren’t written by the journalist bylining the piece, they’re typically handled by an editor who supervises a bunch of journalists reporting out a bunch of different stories and decides which to publish when (or, more likely, which to forward on to a committee of more senior editors who will decide which of those to publish and when).
So I’d bet an editor read through this story in about 90 seconds and then just said something like, “‘Glock 22’ obviously isn’t going to tell the average reader anything because I don’t know what that is, so let’s just say ‘revolver’ because it’s all the same to me. Now, on to the three dozen other stories I need to review because my bosses keep cutting our staffing and I’m doing three people’s jobs.”
