As AG, Bondi has ruined the law firm, or org, she was appointed to lead. Her good, veteran lawyers are leaving. Her incompetent deputies are failing. She's the Ned Racine in this tragic farce and she doesn't seem to recognize that fact yet. Talk about washed up.

Until quite recently, many Big Tech firms opposed the militarization of AI, but that now seems like ancient history as they move to sign partnerships with arms companies.

The prospect of lavish Pentagon funding for AI is too tempting to refuse.

Apparently Latino agents murdered Alex Pretti. It’s not a shock. Many Latinos support Trump and MAGA (I say this as a Vietnamese American whose community has many such supporters).
BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

We finally know what happened to DOJ's (frivolous) misconduct complaint against Chief Judge Boasberg:

It was transferred by Chief Justice Roberts from the D.C. Circuit to Sixth Circuit Chief Judge Jeff Sutton, and Sutton dismissed it in a ... direct ... memorandum and order just two weeks later:

Trump just alleged that we're paying eight bucks a gallon for gas in California. Lol. He also bragged about yesterday's stock market gains while the same indices are tanking today. The incompetence of these authoritarians would be funny if it didn't so nastily enhance their threat.

NEW: It appears that the Trump administration expects to lose the Tariff case. According to an anonymous source at CBP who sent me the below email, they’re already having meetings on how to refund the tariffs they’ve collected from importers - many American. 1/

It's the McDonald Doctrine. The man is an incompetent fool trying clumsily to explain the plunder his vicious handlers hope to puppeteeringly impose.

Yes, this can be confusing (perhaps purposefully so), because there is a technical use of "diffusion" in machine learning, but when they are talking about "diffusion" lea by governments, companies, & CEOs, & imposed upon workers, consumers, & the Global South, that's not the connotation intended.

Pray you once more,
Is not your father grown incapable
Of reasonable affairs? Is he not stupid
With age and alt’ring rheums? Can he speak? Hear?
Know man from man? Dispute his own estate?
Lies he not bed-rid? And again does nothing
But what he did being childish?

Americans have to listen to the voice of the enemy, the Vietnamese people. “If America’s soul becomes totally poisoned,” King said, “part of the autopsy must read Vietnam.” And if the war isn't stopped, we would be marching against wars into future generations.

He was right on every count.

War is the enemy of the poor, and the irony is that poor Black men are being sent to fight for liberties abroad they don't enjoy at home.

What is worse is that they find themselves "in brutal solidarity" with white soldiers in a racist war against Vietnamese people.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
