My heart goes out to all ordinary, decent Americans. Whether they voted for Trump or not, whether they joined MAGA or not, whether they protested NoKings or not, whether they vote Dem or Rep or at all… They all deserve better.

By default, the algorithm doesn't give us what we want; it trains us to want what it can give. The best way for it to predict your preferences is to decide them. And the best way for you to resist is to decide them for yourself.

Videos analyzed by NYT appear to contradict accounts given by Homeland Security. They said the man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to "massacre" them. Footage of the encounter shows the man holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when agents take him to the ground.

Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

This analysis by the New York Times paints a damning picture of ICE's decision to kill Alex Pretti after Pretti had attempted to help a woman who had been shoved (assaulted) by ICE. ICE had Pretti pinned on the ground when one agent appears to come across a gun. After taking the gun, they kill him.

Extremely interesting series of clips by @atrupar.com - I just watched about a dozen and in each Trump cuts the questions and starts talking fast before the journalists have even finished. Reminds me of a patient on dopamine drugs
Trump: "With respect to the insurance companies, I want to meet. There's essentially 14 of them, 10 big. I want to meet with them and say, 'I want you to cut your rates. Way down. Way way down.' And maybe, if they do that, we'll be able to not cut them out. We'll be able to continue to deal w/them."
