To be clear, it’s correct that these few are not, apparently, “powerful” men. However, they are also not victims, and it’s highly unlikely that the DoJ has an open investigation looking into the people in this photo lineup, so they still were not supposed to be redacted in the first place. The law is very clear on who is allowed to be redacted.
A little context.
When contacted for comment on this story and told administration officials confirmed the document was a photo lineup, Khanna posted on X that “I wish DoJ had provided that explanation earlier instead of redacting then unredacting their names. They have failed to protect survivors, created confusion for innocent men, and have protected rich and powerful abusers. We must have full transparency and the truth.” He also thanked the Guardian for reporting on the connection to the photo lineup
This tech we need, is the leap from ICE to electric vehicles
Great news! I heard a rumor that they’re going to start making electric vehicles next week.
He’s the fucking PILOT, not your god damned nanny (no offense to nannies intended). Move your own blanky.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, noted the military principal that service members enjoy weakened First Amendment protections to preserve discipline in the armed forces, but said that no court had ever extended that doctrine to retired service members.
He said he would not be the first to do so.
This is so stupid. The fact that he’s retired isn’t the reason this should be thrown out.
When I was in the military (US), we were taught this from the beginning. My drill instructors weren’t exercising their freedom of speech. They were teaching us how to do our damn job! And the concept came up occasionally throughout my service, with supervisors reminding us that we weren’t supposed to follow illegal orders. Again. Not a freedom of speech issue. It’d be like a driving instructor telling students that they’re not supposed to run stop signs, and people being, “Oh, how brave! He’s exercising his freedom of speech!” Fuckin A!
I remember hearing about that one back in the day.
Well, then why did you retoricly ask,
When is the last time there was a wholesale makeover of police leadership? Never

The first paragraph is great advice.
The second one is such utter hogwash on so many levels it’s hard to know where to start.
Police that are intending to disrupt a protest are planning and organizing in person, not over the radios. That’s just stupid.
Regular police radios are frequently encrypted now. You can be damn sure DHS has been encrypting their radio traffic for decades. I can say, from personal experience, that my small hometown police started encrypting some of their radio traffic at least 40+ years ago.
Even if it wasn’t encrypted, you have to know what frequencies they’re using. Scanners only check one frequency at a time for traffic, so it can take several seconds to get through all of them if you have a lot of candidates. This means that you will frequently miss the first part of a transmission, and occasionally miss the entire thing if it’s short. Once it detects something on one frequency, it stops there to monitor that frequency for as long as the conversation is going on. This means that you’re missing everything happening on all of the other frequencies you have.
Lastly, RADIO SCANNERS DO NOT TRANSMIT! PERIOD. They are receivers, like the radio in your car that you listen to music local advertisements on.
It’s fairly obvious that the person that wrote that has never in their life used a radio scanner and has no idea how they actually work.
You don’t honestly think that DHS doesn’t know Lemmy exists, do you? If they’re monitoring Reddit, you’d have to be a fool to not realize that they’re probably here, too.
It’s definitely not clear. The reasons cited by two acts strongly suggest that they’ve completely dropped out of the entire tour. The others didn’t state reasons, so … 🤷🏻
My wild ass guess is that the rest of the cities are still scheduled just because there’s enough time that organizers think they can still find replacement acts. So, those tour dates may still fall.
Last year, a finance officer at a Singaporean multinational paid out nearly $500,000 to scammers during what he believed was a video call with company leadership.
My bet is that that is just his very plausible cover story. He’s the one that got the money.

How then could a department get rid of a bad officer before this bad behavior presents itself?
The public only becomes aware of the bad behavior when it goes too far and, for example, a cop unnecessarily kills somebody.
But that doesn’t just happen out of the blue. That cop’s coworkers and supervisors knew that he was reckless or emotionally unstable or whatever loooong before it got to that point. They need to step up before he kills somebody.
As long as no one being here illegally was voting,
Narrator: “They weren’t.”
there is no net political loss for Democrats.
Possibly the opposite. Many of those violently kidnapped and deported have friends and family that ARE citizens and CAN vote. Many of them probably naively voted R in the last election. I suspect many of them will not make that mistake in the midterms.
As long as that last paragraph is true, I could support this. There has to be enough motivation for them to get rid of bad cops before they become a problem, not after.
Edit; But I also imagine that the insurance companies themselves would be pretty focused on making sure each cop was attending good training on how to be effective instead of what they’re currently getting which seems to be, “Everyone wants to kill you! Kill them first!”
So, yeah, this could work.
It’s going to get worse until Congress, legislatures, and courts impose penalties on the police departments instead of the tax payers.
Not just the cop that fucked up, but the entire department. They either knew damn well that they had a dangerous asshat in their ranks and refused to get rid of him before something like this happened, or they’re dangerous asshats themselves. The only fix is to make them highly motivated to police themselves.
My suggestion (though I’m open to any idea that works) is fines/penalties/settlements for shit like this comes out of their retirement funds. And not just the police union’s pension fund, but private IRAs as well. Put it all on the table. Don’t leave any loop holes for them to skirt around taking responsibility for making sure every officer is qualified to do the job and not be a menace to society.
The rest of us, he indicates, will be stuck on the assembly line, building whatever the tech companies require.

China is accelerating the rollout of fully automated “dark factories,” where production continues non-stop without lighting, human workers or shift changes. https://e.vnexpress.net/news/tech/tech-news/no-lights-no-workers-ai-powered-dark-factories-are-reshaping-china-s-manufacturing-4921224.html
That’s great when you do, and you usually do, but sometimes you don’t.
Case in point; A while back I was creating a 3D model for my 3D printer. It had a part that was essentially identical to a particular unusual pipe fitting that I have seen and knew existed, but didn’t know the name of (spoiler: I’m not a plumber), and I wanted to give the sketch in the modeling software a proper name for the thing.
Just trying keywords that sort of described it’s shape in search engines was useless. Search engines would focus more on the “pipe fitting” part of the keywords and just return links to articles about plumbing. Then I asked an LLM, and it responded with, “That sounds like X.” Then I checked that it wasn’t just making it up by searching for “X” and found online stores selling the very thing I was trying to figure out the name of.
