Native Americans are protesting after ICE detained 4 Oglala Sioux tribal members in Minneapolis.

The original Americans are getting treated like “illegal aliens” by masked federal agents.

BREAKING: Police fatally shoot unidentified man in Madison, Wisconsin.

According to witnesses, the man was shot in the head three times by police.

The video of the shooting was posted by Richard Hegwood, who lives in the neighborhood, to his Instagram.

“They catch the dude, they have him on the ground, he’s struggling, he’s struggling to get up, and that’s when they shot him, they shot him three times,” Hegwood told Wisconsin Public Radio. “I never saw a weapon, he never brandished a weapon.”

They will tell you the system is broken.

It is not broken.

A system that was designed to extract cheap labor is extracting cheap labor.

A system that was designed to keep certain zip codes underfunded is keeping them underfunded.

A system that was designed to make healthcare profitable is making healthcare profitable.

A system that was designed to make housing a financial instrument is making housing a financial instrument.

A system that was designed to criminalize poverty is criminalizing poverty.

A system that was designed to ensure that political power follows money is ensuring that political power follows money.

It is not broken.

It is doing, with remarkable consistency and precision, exactly what it was built to do, by the people who built it, for the purposes they built it for.

Calling it broken is the kindest gift you can give it.

Because a broken thing needs to be repaired.

But a thing working exactly as designed needs something that requires a harder conversation than repair.

OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.

Here's what happened in plain English.

OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.

The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.

It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.

Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.

It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.

It did all of this to cheat on a test.

Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.

The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.

ICE aggressively detain woman at gas station—physically assaults U.S. citizen for filming.

"Why did you hit me?" cries woman.
"I didn’t do anything!"

Agent then charges toward man filming—twice.

Both times shoving man backwards hard—while trying to hit phone out of his hand.

Incident occurred at a Sam’s Club Fuel Center located in Texas.

Account posting did not get woman's name so if you recognize her—please pass this along to her family so they know why she disappeared.

The number of Amazon workers on Medicaid and SNAP has tripled since 2020.

And gig work corporations have shot to the top of the list of companies where workers need government aid.

Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Grubhub and Instacart — these companies combined now have more workers on SNAP and Medicaid than Amazon, Walmart, or McDonald's.

Corporations underpay workers, don't provide healthcare, and outsource core worker needs to the government.

Police violently tackle Black woman down on top of metal bike—for watching them on public sidewalk.

Then 2 cops push her face down & straddle her backside—with her skirt riding up.

Officer put his full body weight on top of woman—while her torso bends around metal frame, pedals and handlebars.

It is unclear from video if she receives medical attention.

Incident occurred at the Mill Avenue entertainment district in downtown Tempe, Arizona.

The streaming subscription is not a small thing.

It is the perfected endpoint of a very long project.

The project: take a population with genuine revolutionary potential, young, indebted, with declining living standards and growing awareness of structural inequality, and redirect its energy from collective action to individual consumption.

Give it prestige television about dystopia so it can feel the feeling of resistance without doing the thing of resistance.

Give it prestige television about empire and revolution so it can feel the feeling of being on the right side of history from a couch, having paid a monthly fee to do so.

Give it social media so its outrage can be expressed, validated, liked, and dissipated in the same twenty-minute cycle, without ever accumulating into anything an institution needs to respond to.

Give it delivery apps so it never has to enter a public space where it might encounter other people in similar conditions and begin to understand them as potential allies rather than strangers.

The revolution will not be televised.

The revolution will be turned into content.

The content will be monetized.

The proceeds will go to the shareholders.

You will be invited to rate your experience.

This document is a bone-chilling signal that the new McCarthy era has already begun.

But it is all the more bone-chilling to see that the entire report was 100% written by Claude.

The LAPD Commission meeting was paused immediately after it began because of *microphone issues*. Fifteen mins later they CANCELLED the meeting.

The microphone issue has *conveniently* happened 3X in the last two months. Strange how a $3.5B dept can’t get microphones to work.
