FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids.
Richardson lives in N.C.
He's never been to Florida. And his timesheet shows him at work at the time of the crime. No one checked before charging him. https://t.co/2AcQYwq30f
Claudia Sheinbaum has approval ratings of between 70 and 80%, thanks to her progressive policies which have lifted over 8 million people out of poverty.
So of course the @NYTimes finds some reason to attack her.
They hate her because she shows what can be done.
Ranchers, the GOP let this happen. They voted to let DOGE and Trump eradicate funding for screwworm monitoring programs. Now, screwworm is here and cases are rising by the day.
Anti-trust probe hits @Sobeys as @CompBureau lawyers ask federal judge to compel disclosure of lease terms nationwide.

Glad to see this case moving forward. These property controls and the power they give incumbents grocers to shape competition needs to come under the spotlight.
Charlie Angus calls for an investigation into Alberta separatists meeting with US State Department officials: The most serious threat to Canada is coming from the White House.
This shit pisses me off so fucking much. Every business in this entire set of 10 blocks gets cut off during one of the biggest nights of the year for the city all because one orange dickhead needs to come watch the game. Also what happens to all the commuter traffic coming into and out of Penn station? Thousands of people planning to come in and out on NJ transit and the LIRR, anyone on the ACE or 123 lines do what exactly? Absolutely ROBBING the city of their homecoming game.
“The rape didn’t last long enough”
There is not enough anger in the world to account for how little sexual violence against women just doesn’t matter in society.
Trump to NBC: “First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war.” And: “So when you say I promised – I didn’t promise anything. I don’t like these endless wars. This is not an endless war.”
Reality: Trump promised in two of his highest-profile 2024 addresses not to have any wars at all, and he also made that promise in a bunch of other forums. Some examples:
June 2024 social media post: The election is “a choice between STRENGTH or WEAKNESS, COMPETENCE or INCOMPETENCE, peace and prosperity or war and no war.”
July 2024 Republican National Convention acceptance address: “With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don’t have wars.”
August 2024 Pennsylvania rally: “Under Trump, we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace for all.”
August 2024 North Carolina rally: Approvingly claimed Viktor Orban had said, “Make sure that Trump gets re-elected president and you're not going to have any more wars,” then added himself, “No more wars. No more disruptions. We will have prosperity and we will have peace.”
August 2024 Adin Ross interview: Boasted that he had no wars during his first term, then said, “And we won't have wars again.”
October 2024 Wisconsin rally: Did one of his numerous renditions of the Orban story: “Viktor Orban said, ‘If Trump comes back, you won't have any wars. You won't have any wars.’ And he's about as tough as they get, and he said it loud and clear and he said why. But you won't have any wars.”
November 2024 Election Night victory address: “I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop wars.”
That is in addition to the many times he struck similar themes without the explicit promise of having no wars period if elected again – for example, vowing to stop “endless” wars or prevent “World War III,” denouncing “warmongers,” boasting of having had “no wars” in his first term, or saying we don’t “need” wars.

New from me, on a string of interconnected homicides that claimed the lives of at least four young people in Edmonton and central Alberta

While filming "Bruno" He claimed a random Palestinian guy he interviewed was a "Hamas terrorist" he also cut out the part where he was spat on by a local Orthodox community while in Jerusalem. He was dragged, stomped, and punched while on the ground by Israelis.
In the film “Borat” the villagers were not actors; they believed it was a genuine documentary
They were told that it would focus on rural life. After the film was released, they considered suing the Israeli actor Sacha Baron Cohen
"We thought they had come here to help us, not to mock us."
What's important here is that he spent the entire production trying to bait Muslims into assaulting him for acting flamboyantly gay. Only for that to never happen, except with a group of Israelis. It's the only time he broke character during production, to tell them he was acting
Mayor Mamdani criticizes Trump admin for handling of the World Cup, travel restrictions & visa denials for teams & others.
“The World Cup is supposed to be a celebration of the world as a whole… this is anathema to what this tournament is supposed to be about.”
