Uproar rose higher last month following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by agents in Minnesota. Lisa Desjardins reports, and we hear from some of the people who were detained.

I wonder which political party will have steel enough to point it out.

Lawyer: "How would you like to own that business?"
Source: threads.com/@attorneyryan/post

Screenshot of Post on Bluesky by Mark Morin markmorinii I had a 3rd round interview for a position that bridged my creative, automotive, and customer success experience. Everyone said it could not have been a better fit. Then Karen asked me why I have a pride flag as my LinkedIn banner and “what do you mean you’re a queer?” Below that a screenshot of his LinkedIn Profile with a pride progress flag. Then the Reply by attorney Ryan 6 hours later "How would you like to own that business?"

This looks like an interesting take on the whole “AI" (IMHO its not AI and its not leading directly to AGI).

Behind the sign, faint outlines of plants and a building with lit windows are visible, giving the scene an urban, atmospheric feeling.
