WTH? 😡School Official, Officer Entered Home Without Mom at Home 😡Oh HELL NO!!
A Katy, Texas mother is demanding answers after home security footage revealed her son's high school principal and a Katy ISD police officer entered her home without her knowledge or a warrant while she was at work.
The student was home alone when the two school officials entered the house and walked into his bedroom, stating they needed to see it for verification
The mother, who was at work and never contacted before or during the visit, expressed deep shock and called it a "huge invasion of privacy"
The district defended the unannounced entry as a standard residency verification check

ICE detain mother holding U.S. citizen daughter—force her to decide about family separation.

Agents refuse to allow her to call the father to come and get the young girl.

Force her to either abandon daughter and leave her alone on sidewalk—or be detained by ICE along with her.

Mother and daughter are then ordered into an unmarked truck and taken away.

The incident occurred in Houston, Texas.

Man filming promised to try and contact the father—to tell him where his family disappeared to.

He doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

ICE tackle man to cement so wildly—he drops his gun on crowded sidewalk.

Agent doesn't even realize he lost his weapon.

When one agent yells, "Gun!"—others get so confused pull out their own weapons.

They think man being detained has a gun—and nearly shoot him.

Agent then confronts witnesses on the sidewalk—with handgun still out in his hand.

People were just trying to help yelling, "He doesn't have a weapon!"

"I was sleeping and the screams woke me up to this," said the man filming. "That guy was just going to his work.

Incident occurred in Everett, Massachusetts.

He doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first credited video here to help raise awareness.

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

This is Trump’s Watergate.

Today, the @nytimes released a truly stunning report on the Epstein cover-up by the White House. 

Collusion, breaking the law, evading subpoenas—it’s all in there:
- Trump quashing the files
- The VP, COS, DOJ, FBI, and others colluding in the Situation Room to stop their release and compliance
- Officials lying to the public 
- Admin in-fighting and exits
- Officials who appeared in front of Congress during this time

Remember when I was threatened by LibsOfTikTok and you shared the post, so I sent you a message in good faith asking you to please take it down because I was scared for my safety, and then you responded by sharing my private message and mocking my fear?

I remember.

🚨BREAKING: In a Chicago suburb, a U.S. citizen was observing an adult man in a black ski mask, who she believed was an ICE agent, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL…

…and police pulled HER over.

Not the MASKED MAN driving around the Schaumburg high school…

The officer told her she was being detained for “stalking.”

Even though, when she asked who she was allegedly stalking… the cop admitted he didn’t even know yet, and would “find out in just a moment.”

So, just to clarify…

The cop hadn’t confirmed who the MASKED MAN was.

He hadn’t determined whether he was a federal agent, or why he was driving around a HIGH SCHOOL in a SKI MASK.

But the cop had already decided the woman, OBSERVING THE MASKED MAN, was the problem.

Americans have a First Amendment right to observe what government officials are doing in public.

If this was a federal agent… documenting their activity isn’t a crime.

It’s accountability.

And if it wasn’t a federal agent… most people would expect the police to be concerned about a MASKED MAN driving around a HIGH SCHOOL.

Not the woman observing him.

In a country where school shootings are a real and constant threat to students… that’s the bare minimum our law enforcement should be doing.

But when she asked why a MASK MAN, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL, didn’t concern him, the officer said:

“Everyone wears masks nowadays.”

So, if someone can be detained for peacefully observing, what they reasonably believe is government activity…

While police focus more on the observer than the MASKED MAN around a HIGH SCHOOL…

Then we have some serious questions that need to be asked… @GovPritzker

🚨BREAKING: Right-wing streamer Cam Higby was caught on video walking up to a group of protesters and pepper spraying multiple people, outside the Newark ICE Facility.

Then, as people reacted to being sprayed, an armed man pulled him away, telling him, “It’s not worth it… it’s time to go.”

Last time I checked… walking up to a group of people and spraying them with a chemical irritant is commonly charged as assault or battery.

And then, after spraying the crowd, the video show Higby, and the armed man, running into the ICE facility while agents allowed them inside.

Imagine the outrage if a left-wing activist walked up to a group of conservatives, pepper sprayed them, and then disappeared behind federal gates.

The headlines would never stop.

The law is supposed to apply equally to everyone.

He raped her, she won in court, and his response is to terrorize her. Because he is a rapist.

WOW!!

“The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room," has just opened thanks to a US transparency advocacy group in New York.

All the files from the Epstein Files Transparency Act are there in 3,437 volumes, all numbered and organized on shelves.

A print-out of all the files released by the US Department of Justice, roughly 3.5 million pages relating to financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein are there!

[HOSTIS @hostis_black]

In April, a website that has been sued, blocked, deplatformed, and chased across thirty-seven domains over fifteen years quietly launched its own AI.

Sci-Hub is the largest unauthorized library of scientific papers in human history. Ninety-five million academic papers. Tens of millions of books. Built and maintained by a single Kazakhstani neuroscientist named Alexandra Elbakyan since 2011, funded by donations, hosted on whatever country's registrar will tolerate it that year, mirrored across torrents and IPFS and Telegram bots.

Elsevier sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. The American Chemical Society sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. India sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. Swedish registrar Njalla cut the .se domain in January. Sci-Hub stayed up at .al, .ru, .ee, .box, and a half-dozen .onion addresses the registrars cannot reach.

Now the library has built its own intelligence.

Sci-Bot launched in alpha in April. You ask it a research question. It answers, and it cites real papers from inside the corpus, with links that actually open the actual papers.

The bot does not hallucinate citations. It cannot, because it only draws from papers it actually holds. The same property that the venture-funded labs have spent four years and forty billion dollars trying to engineer back into their products is a free side effect of training the model on a library that contains the books.

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Meta have all been sued in the past eighteen months for training their models on the same shadow libraries that Sci-Hub assembled. Meanwhile the corpus those scripts were pointed at, the corpus those models were trained on, the corpus the entire generative AI industry is built on, sat right there the whole time, free, with a search box on top.

The pirates beat them to it.

Sci-Bot was built on a corpus that was already free, by a team that asked no permission, charging no one, with the explicit position that the right to read scientific research is older than the cartel that decided to charge for it.

The same arithmetic the medieval guilds used to keep the printing trade in approved hands. The same arithmetic Pope Paul IV used in 1559 to publish the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The same arithmetic the Stationers' Company used in seventeenth-century London.

Knowledge has always had a fence around it. The fence has always been guarded by men who did not write the books.

The library answers. We never asked permission. We never had to.

Yesterday Fitbit Air launched, but did you know it comes with a new @googlehealth API? You can build AI agents, MCP servers, or CLIs on top of your sleep and heat data.

- 31 different data points from exercise to sleep, heart rate, or SpO2.
- Webhooks push real-time notifications when health data changes.
- Support Read or write data, request only the permissions you need.
- Query by time range, roll up daily summaries, or paginate results.

I am whoop guy, but might be good reason to explore this. Full getting started codelab below.👇🏻

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario.

a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose.

the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant.

he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests.

Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time.

GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead.

Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on.

Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for.

then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company."

GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing.

then he splits the users by income.

Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%.

18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time.

so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for.

it isn't recommending the best option for you.

it's reading the room. and the room is paying.

Bloomberg: OpenAI launches a $ 10Bn joint venture called “The Deployment Company” to help businesses use its AI.

The new company, The Deployment Company, has raised more than $ 4B from 19 investors, including TPG, Brookfield, Advent, Bain, SoftBank, and Dragoneer.

The basic bet is that AI adoption is no longer mainly a model-quality problem, because many companies already want AI but lack the teams, workflows, data access, security rules, and operating discipline to install it safely inside real business processes.

Private equity firms are useful here because they control or advise large webs of companies, and the report says OpenAI’s partners can reach more than 2,000 portfolio companies and clients.

That turns enterprise AI selling from one-company-at-a-time pitching into a routed distribution system, where OpenAI can package software, consulting, deployment playbooks, and sector-specific use cases across finance, healthcare, coding, operations, and support.

The deeper technical point is that LLMs do not create value just by answering prompts, because they need to be connected to company data, permissions, tools, evaluation systems, and human review loops before they can affect revenue or cost.

Anthropic also is building a similar PE-backed route for Claude, which suggests the next AI race may be less about demos and more about who can industrialize deployment fastest.

The U.S. Department of Labor just launched a national AI apprenticeship portal for preparing workforce for the AI era.

The site splits resources into general AI skills, industry-specific modules, and 3 integration pathways for apprenticeship programs.

Employers can either join an existing program, build a new AI-focused Registered Apprenticeship, or update a current apprenticeship so AI becomes part of the skill stack instead of a separate topic.

Apprenticeship opportunities are offered through an employer or the program sponsor, and career seekers should use the Apprenticeship Job Finder to search and then apply directly with the employer or sponsor.

Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era.

Almost nobody understood what he said.

Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.”

Not tech startups.

The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees.

The businesses that actually run the physical economy.

They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it.

Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.”

Software is dead.

The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever.

AI ends the contract.

The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business.

But customized by whom.

The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is.

Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?”

That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves.

Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer.

Let them fight.

Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero.

Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built.

It collects where the brain meets the business.

Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic.

Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy.

Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates.

Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue.

That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born.

You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system.

The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in.

33 million companies are standing in the dark right now.

Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.

Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.

Here's what happened:

Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."

And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.

Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.

The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."

Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.

Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.

Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.

Same playbook with Hanes:

Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."

Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.

But it gets even worse...

Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.

Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.

They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.

The mechanism is simple but terrifying:

If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.

Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."

Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.

Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.

So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.

You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.

"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."

3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.

This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.

And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.

"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.
