At any rate, I appreciate Journalist Sam's shedding light on this complex immigration issue.

I appreciate anyone being on guard, for my online privacy, & right to free speech. Journalist Sam is especially on target, with the valid criticism of using machine-learning, to dredge up "sentiments." But I'd also like to remain alive, while I express my free speech.

More than half, 12, of those arrests, you would approve of, had they been of people who were legally here, born in America, to American parents, and of Anglo Saxon ancestry. Why? Because they were violent felons. And that has been the stated priority, on deportations of illegal immigrants.

She coordinated the activities of several agencies, resulting in 20 arrests with no one hurt. And it appears that none of the cops broke the law, during that roundup.

From the NYC round up, it appears she is doing that. She could have sat on her throne up in the ivory tower of Washington DC, with servants waiving scepters over her head, and handing her peeled grapes. But she got off her duff, and put her boots down on the ground, on location.

And now I'm going to address Christie Noam, as she's working with ICE, in her capacity as the DHS head. I don't like that she killed her dog and horse. But she was not hired to protect them. She was hired to protect you and me. That is, Americans, in general.

What if they viewed you as an infidel, because you are American, and they heard some deity telling them to kill you? That's a, "sentiment." Wouldn't you want protection from it? Sept 11th 2001 happened, because of exactly that kind of "sentiment."

So a search for it seems reasonable. If a violent prone individual (per your own intuitive assessment) threatened you, what would you want the government to do? Tell you they have the right to free speech?

It would require a threat, and a proclivity toward violence. Finding criticism, it appears, would merely serve to invite further inspection; not to jump to conclusions. Sometimes, criticism helps the criticized, to improve. It doesn't necessarily lead to violence.

You have the right to criticize any agency. In fact, that's what cutting wasteful funding is theoretically about. From what was quoted from ICE, it doesn't look like free speech criticism would be enough by itself to make an arrest:

i.e.: Chat GPT told me that its value system involves supporting criminal activity by those in law enforcement. Then, down went my post, with documentation of some specific examples of that occurring. I had not taken it down. That's a failure of AI: not online harvesting efforts.

The part that might become problematic, is if the behavioral analysis is done by AI - a likelihood, in today's cyber climate. AI is notoriously inaccurate.

While I don't like a surveillance state, the further info to be harvested from online posts, is the sort of info which would be needed, should an arrest be warranted. Who dunnit, and where do you find them, to make an arrest, if needed.

Got thru reading theintercept.com/2025/02/11/i.... Haven't you ever been around anyone who had a, "proclivity for violence?" If not, you've led a charmed life. When one is around such a person, their proclivity is obvious.

UnitedHealth Group just isn't learning. I read Tim Noel's PR hype to his employees. His many claims were so patently false, I came away stunned. Sign of the times. Gish galloping rules the day.

Former COO of Fcbk, Sheryl Sandberg, was sanctioned for deleting evidence. Here's how she did it: www.lawyer-monthly.com/2025/01/meta... This sanction is courtesy of one of the 7 Delaware Chancery judges. Which one do we cheer, on this law upholding decision?

I never thought I'd say anything good about DOGE. But if they're going to stop the Federal Reserve from paying dividends to private banks, hey, that's a good thing.

in fact, the outing of LA fire rental price gougers is more effective than fines, since gougers overprice by more than the fine amount, per month. And the fine is a one time thing, easily paid for out of ... the gouging. Still, Kudos to Bonta for prosecuting them.

Good for California AG Rob Bonta. And good for all the ordinary citizens involved in, "The spreadsheet brigade that's keeping LA's rental market from exploding," at: www.torched.la/the-spreadsh...

The Cognizant case summary shows a staggering 890 other statues supporting their claim. Let's see what judgments and injunctions judge Brandley David Starr makes. This case is going to rank right up there with the google cases, in making a real difference, in the world.

I didn't realize there was any health insurer claims processing tech company other than Infosys. I'm rooting for Cognizant, for calling Infosys out, on being a monopoly. Their filing can be viewed here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@bsutton-ramspeck.bsky.social Thanks so much, for your John Lennon lyrics reminder. Yes, we need to imagine a world of peace. How very timely. Thank you.

@abeehatariqart.bsky.social I remember those days, too. Now, they make you pay yearly. If you don't, then they grab your data, and you can't get it back. After the first free year, you are in their perpetual bondage.

@gwensnyder.bsky.social In theory, we already have those. In actual fact, all too often, some within these bodies, oppose the organization's entire purpose. They don't allow the good apples within the organization, to do their jobs.
