President Trump brands Somali newcomers "trash" from a "failed state," insisting they add zero value and must depart, amid plans for a sweeping federal sweep in the Twin Cities.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

What Maga says: "It's worth it to weed the criminal illegals out." This is the nightmare we exist in. A very small fraction of detainees are criminals.
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Airlines and landlords are using personal data to charge their customers more. One AI company wants to make pricing for everything “much more similar to dynamics in NASDAQ.” From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/e21T2M3

AI’s real contribution to humanity could be maximizing corporate profit by preying on personal data to raise prices. In fact, it’s already happening.

That Hegseth had declassification authority is largely irrelevant in Signalgate for two reasons:

First, it doesn't change the fact that he put US service members in danger.

Second, he never claimed that he exercised that authority, nor followed any processes for doing so.

Flock cameras have been used by ICE to kidnap brown folks. They have also been used to track women seeking abortions.

Nearly all of the flock cameras in #PDX are on Home Depot property. If you weren’t already boycotting @homedepotofficial.bsky.social, here’s another good reason.

ICE out of PDX
We spent the past month (months?) talking w/ protesters detained at Portland's ICE bldg about their experiences. We heard everything from being questioned about antifa, to not being read Miranda rights, to photos w/ arresting officers.

Their stories point to a slapdash, chaotic federal operation:

Released safely back into the wild after sleeping it off at animal control. Who among us
The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.

The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

Portland protesters had a memorial for immigrants who died in ICE custody including photos. MAGA men came and destroyed it.

They have started rebuilding it “as a symbol of remembrance, resilience, and respect for the lives & stories of immigrants.”
