🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Horrendous. They know what they're doing is wrong, since they're purposefully obfuscating their actions by moving to surround the victim and limit visibility to onlookers.
“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”

I think this is a brilliant framing of this issue. If the government can send people to a third world country to a lifetime of involuntary servitude, that is slavery. Query whether this meets the “jurisdiction” requirement of the 13th Amendment (the officials sending them are!)
Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee.
Now we know that was a lie.
Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death.
America is back in the slave trade.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”

Posts like this from educated, well-known individuals are frustrating -- an off-the-cuff remark to make a point which ignores important details. For example, R1 is comparatively inexpensive because it was likely trained using the output from other LLMs:
