The end result is that pop is not popular anymore. It may never be again. The center was a moment in time, but the edges are now everywhere. We should plan accordingly.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that xAI’s Grok will join Google’s Gemini as the second frontier AI model on GenAI.mil, the Pentagon’s internal generative AI platform. The integration, set to go live later this month, will give 3 million military and civilian personnel access to Grok’s capabilities across both classified and unclassified networks — even as the model faces mounting international criticism over safety failures.

death defines life.

The US Government want US citizens to flee from the Venezuelan paramilitary and return to America.

Clearly, Trump feels that only his paramilitary can threaten and kill US citizens .. and it is NOT the job of other countries. AmericaFirst

I watched a young man get snatched by ICE outside yoga this morning. I filmed the whole thing. His name is Lucio Fabian Navos Nietos. I know this because they just left his passport and all other identification in his car. And left his car. They don’t care who he is. They will deport him anyway.

🔗 A Follow Up From Patrick

If in my last post one were to replace the word “ICE” with “SS” and an obviously Jewish name with an obviously Latino one and imagined him being put on a train instead of a plane… There is no difference. Think on that. We all imagined what we would have done if we lived there then. We live there now.


I am sure this was meant to be motivating - and I don’t know who the author is - but not true - and definitely does a massive disservice to those that did fight back. They did - in a world when it was a lot harder to do so. If just a few of those people were around today - not sure we would be where we are.


Laura Karen Ingram is upset by protestors wearing masks - but seems to have no problem with ICE doing the same. 🤷🏻‍♂️
