Trump abruptly changes deportation guidance to protect farms, hotels, and restaurants

Excerpt from the new guidance:

"Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels."

It added that investigations involving human trafficking, money laundering, or drug smuggling into those industries can continue,
but that "noncriminal collaterals" should not be arrested.

Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey is threatening to hurt & KILL protesters. Just remember: Florida cops were the same cowards who ran AWAY from the Parkland shooter, left innocent kids exposed to a deadly terrorist—& when they were sued for abdicating their duty—defended themselves (and won) by arguing “police had no legal duty to protect the students.”

So, their new threats to kill civilians isn’t the first time they’ve disregarded their duty to protect & serve the public. This is just who they are.😐

While the technology of Google's Waymo robotaxis is very impressive, Google/Alphabet has a problem with them that is only going to get worse.

They've become -- fairly or not -- a symbol of Big Tech dehumanization and now perceived (again, fairly or not) partnership with a fascist federal government.

This has been exacerbated by the image of Google's CEO Sundar standing happily with Trump at his inauguration, giving him a million dollars toward that inauguration, and being utterly silent on his abuses to date.

The perception that Google and other Big Tech firms are forcing error prone and often privacy-invasive generative AI on users is only adding to this problem.

Absent major course corrections by these executives, it will indeed all continue to get much worse.

Last year, Beyoncé became the first Black artist to win Best Country Album at the Grammy Awards. Now, the Recording Academy is ensuring that doesn't happen again by renaming that award Best Contemporary Country Album, and creating a new one, Best Traditional Country Album. It's not gone down well, HuffPost says, with fans suggesting that the new category was meant to appease racists in the industry. Here's more.
