Yesterday the Trump regime served warrants to a bunch of locals who were at that peaceful protest of the violent church where the regional ICE director preaches.
That protest is old news, the same event about which they’re trying to nail Don Lemon to the wall. Yesterday they came for both protestors and reporters, AIUI.
Light coverage here, which doesn't mention that they banged on people’s door at 4:30-6:30am with warrants and tossed them in federal detention all day. Just shameless, unalloyed harassment.

The claim "you won't be replaced by AI, but by a person using AI" is nonsense. The Block layoff victims were some of the most productive, #llm pilled people in the company, but it didn't save them, because that's not what layoffs are about.
The layoff script goes, as always:
- overhire
- lay everyone off
- pretend it's because of

"AI layoffs" like Block's are a race to the bottom that have nothing to do with productivity.
You won't be replaced by AI, nor a person using AI, because backfills aren't real.
