A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I reviewed @shawnlevy.com's CLINT for The Times, which is behind a paywall so I can't see it. But hey, I think it's here.

The New York Times dropped a list of 20 books to read in July, which seems a bit aspirational. But do consider this one, which they really seem to get. (Full review TK, we're told🤞🏼)

It’s weird how the conservatives who couldn’t stop whining about how “lying billionaires” like George Soros supposedly controlled “the media” are now super-psyched about two truth telling billionaires (Musk & Trump) who own big media platforms. And by “weird,” I mean boringly antisemitic and fashy.

My favorite thing about our "plain speaking, tell-it-like-it-is populist" President is that he named his son "Barron," which is both a nod to European aristocracy and also the name that Trump used whenever he would call media outlets to get his lies into print. www.vice.com/en/article/r...

It's so weird how how the reactionary tech billionaires who've avidly promoted the racist "great replacement theory" to get working class white people to vote Republican are the same people positioned to profit from AI technology that will, um, replace millions of American workers with machines.
