I respect WIRED so much.
Tech companies are FUMING because they thought it would be positive PR for their products.
Instead WIRED is publishing articles which expose the downsides of AI and tech surveillance. And now they’re getting sued for it. Support them!
This is insane. ICE hired a wife beater with severe mental health issues whose own family is terrified of him. Also worth noting that the military had previously accepted him in spite of severe mental health issues and sent him to Afghanistan where his family say he was turned into a monster.
This ICE hire isn’t just an accident or lack of vetting. Stephen Miller’s goal was to assemble a force of unaccountable marauding thugs. From his perspective this murderous psycho is a success story and exactly what he’s looking for.
Very rapidly approaching the point where terrorism is defined as anything other than letting the obscenely rich do whatever the fuck they want, laws and rights be damned.
Massive demand and insufficient supply have been driving up rents in our city year over year, not the FARE Act. Rents rose over 7% last year, before the law even took effect. Also, rent is set by the market, not broker fees!
These are deceitful, self-serving attacks from the landlord lobby. Their NIMBYism blocks new housing to drive up rents on the existing units they own. The FARE Act provides relief in a housing crisis they helped create.
During a 60 day period the LAPD got 161 license plate reader hits for stolen cars that were NOT actually stolen.
That means 161 INNOCENT car occupants had guns pulled on them w/helicopter overhead, ordered to lay on ground, handcuffed, searched and detained for 20-45 mins.
He paid New Yorkers to shovel. The 78 degreee recommendation has been on the books for every state for literally 50 years. And he has refused to take a raise if it gets approved. This is literally the best you can do and it’s all lies.
They interviewed all the three witnesses separately, and they all say the same thing.
They did not ram the car; ICE agents fired at them, and then mocked Mr. Salgado as he lay there dying.
Imagine your father being murdered, then being refused the chance to see or bury his body.
The inhumanity wrought by this administration is unconscionable.
This is a level of billionaire surveillance & control (and downright pettiness) that should send chills down all of our spines. To what lengths will Jim Dolan go to assess the "risk score" of MSG attendees? And why in the world would his enterprise identify their sexual orientation in a database?
Here's an idea: Let's cancel his tax break and crack down on runaway data collection. Going to the Garden for a Knicks game shouldn’t result in massive personal privacy violations!
The NYC Hotline for ICE sightings is back up and running. If you see ICE in your neighborhood, contact 229-304-8720 and visit https://t.co/68HkGEj8M7 for more resources.
We must look out for each other, but this violence will continue until we abolish ICE.
-no criminal history
-was at his job as a construction worker
-has three sons who are us citizens
ICE said he tried to ram them with his car. Every time they’ve ever said this it has come out that they lied
Standup comedy has a huge PR problem. Just did a show last night for about 500 people. Many of them came up to me after and were so nice about amazing it was, and the sentiment among many of them was “I never even watch standup” cause they think this is all there is.
The Department of Energy appears to have deleted its thermostat-level recommendations to avoid people noticing that their generic recommendation was to set indoor temperatures at the same level which Zohran has asked New Yorkers to maintain during a grid-stressing heatwave.
googled "can the mayor turn off time square" and learned that the city has no authority because the billboards are privately owned by commercial landlords :/
Reuben Brothers/3 Rules Capital want to build a rich tax evader private settlement w/2 golf courses greenwashed as eco-friendly in an environmentally sensitive coastal zone. 1 of the driest areas of Puerto Rico, currently in a drought + w/water infrastructure issues! #EsenciaNoVa
