A #California #farmworker died on Friday from injuries sustained a day earlier when #US #immigration agents raided a cannabis operation & arrested hundreds of workers, according to a farmworker advocacy group.

Dozens of #ImmigrantRights activists faced off w/ #federal agents in rural Southern California on Thursday. It was the latest escalation of #Trump's campaign for #MassDeportations of immigrants in the US.

UFW says a farm worker has died of injuries sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action in Ventura County, California.

They will try to tell you, “Resistance is futile.” It is never so.
The use of AI by lawyers in court is not itself illegal. But Wang found that the lawyers violated a federal rule that requires lawyers to certify that claims they make in court are "well grounded" in the law. Turns out, fake cases don't meet that bar. https://www.npr.org/2025/07/10/nx-s1-5463512/ai-courts-lawyers-mypillow-fines
Holy cow, as an American, I wasn't aware of the Horizon IT scandal. ~1,000 postal workers were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and other crimes, imprisoned, and forced to repay tens of thousands of pounds. 13 of them committed suicide! But it was an IT error! AI will make this worse.

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.

We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

Need more of this!

Last time I went for an oil change there were three lads struggling to push a car up a tow truck ramp. They'd just fallen back as I pulled up, and were struggling to try again.

They got the car up in the end because there wasn't anyone around telling them they were doing it wrong or explaining gravity to them or saying that there was no way they'd ever get it up so why bother, instead there was just a random bloke who made it four guys instead of three and the car went up and a little while later that bloke got his wallet out to pay for the oil change and got told to put it away and everybody had a generally nice day.

That's one way that real life is different from the internet

They cut #funding for the #National Weather Service and then they tell you pray harder when the #storms happen
@MalcolmNance
Prayers are free. Weather services cost money.
@MalcolmNance Perhaps the disgrace is, that we now live in the 21st century, otherwise the people had a chance to lynch all those douchebags Vance, Trump, Musk and the like.
@MalcolmNance So we'll now be taking the same approach to forecasting that we do to gun violence, I see.
@MalcolmNance Hollow prayers from a hollow soul. Faith without action is dead, or to quote scripture that our short-timer supposed Catholic US VP should know:
"For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead." James 2:26
@MalcolmNance
If people go church and pray regularly but are killed in a tragedy anyway, either praying doesn't work or their deaths were planned by God. So lamenting their deaths would be criticing God's plan. I think that's blasphemy.
@MalcolmNance Compare and contrast with Barack Obama's message - like night and day.
I know who I would trust to do right by those affected by this.
I also know who wouldn't have gutted the agencies that could have potentially warned people before, and helped them after.
@MalcolmNance This administration is an incomprehensible tragedy.

Prayers won’t help M O R O N ! ! !

@MalcolmNance

Pseudo christrian crap while playing hate thy neighbour contributed a major part to.

Maga a bunch of despicable sub human creeps.

@MalcolmNance Death cultists gonna death cult.

@MalcolmNance There’s that far-right pre-programming style, conditioning the recipent’s interpretation of the statement with a seemingly unimportant modifier: ”incomprehensible”.

Vance the Snake can’t help himself but drop logic bombs into any utterance he makes.

What a rhetorical bully.

@MalcolmNance Incomprehensible??? really??

@Robo105 @MalcolmNance Ah, you noticed it too.

That’s Vance the rhetorical bully, perhaps mocking us, perhaps modifying the less endowed.

@gimulnautti @MalcolmNance Probably both because he has contempt for both
