  • The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

  • If you already received your item(s) and you don't immediately need to do any more business with them, it sounds like they don't have a lot of leverage to get you to pay.

    Sounds like that might have been a screw up on their part.

  • No. But they do occasionally advertise their TV and movie rental services as videos in the feeds.

  • If you, as a consumer, directly paid one of the illegal tariffs, you can get a refund via the shipper who acted as an agent for you.

    For example, here's the form if you shipped something over the border using UPS and paid an illegal tariff to get it released from customs.

  • ICE detains John Hopkins researcher at airport in 'extremely distressing' case

    Jump

  • ICE is doing this now. They get information from TSA on who is going to be at what airports, and at which dates and times. That lets ICE make their arrest quotas with relatively low effort on their end.

    If you have any kind of not completely regular immigration status, I would urge you to avoid domestic air travel in the United States right now.

    People have been arrested at airports for overstayed visas, when they filed an adjustment of status on time, and the application has just been sitting at USCIS for several years.

  • ICE agents accused of racial profiling and using racist slurs in explosive court filing

    Jump

  • I agree that the facts in this article are not excessively interesting. It's just garden variety racism.

    The real audience for this prelim injunction is not the public, however. It's the 9 justices of the supreme court. In particular, there are 2-3 justices who appear to get all their facts from Fox News. And the evidence introduced for this prelim injunction is the ACLU's primary opportunity to challenge the Fox News "facts" with "alternative" facts, when this case goes back up to the supreme court.

  • ICE agents accused of racial profiling and using racist slurs in explosive court filing

    Jump

  • The case is Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem. Previously in this same case, the Supreme Court seemed to indicate that it was legal for ICE to stop and question people based on their skin color. (They thereby created a new category of stop called the Kavanaugh Stop).

    Quoting Justice Kavanaugh:

    Here, those circumstances include: that there is an extremely high number and percentage of illegal immigrants in the Los Angeles area; that those individuals tend to gather in certain locations to seek daily work; that those individuals often work in certain kinds of jobs, such as day labor, landscaping, agriculture, and construction, that do not require paperwork and are therefore especially attractive to illegal immigrants; and that many of those illegally in the Los Angeles area come from Mexico or Central America and do not speak much English. To be clear, apparent ethnicity alone cannot furnish reasonable suspicion; under this Court's case law regarding immigration stops, however, it can be a "relevant factor" when considered along with other salient factors. ... Importantly, reasonable suspicion means only that immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and inquire about immigration status. If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter. Only if the person is illegally in the United States may the stop lead to further immigration proceedings.

    As a legal position, this shit is antithetical to the American way of life, and it's also deeply unrealistic. These things are not "brief encounters". This opinion would legalize "papers please" style enforcement for brown people.

    Now, the Kavanaugh Stop is not currently the law of the land, because Kavanaugh was writing in a concurrence only. He didn't have a full five vote majority behind these abhorrent statements.

    So this is the news: Everyone knows that ICE are racist cunts. The ACLU is doing the work to prove it in court. And hopefully it will lead to something that doesn't cement the Kavanaugh Stop as case law.

  • PSA Huggingface is scraping GitHub

  • Most of those "permissive" licenses require redistributors to redistribute copies of the license texts in derivative works.

    But I bet these AI models aren't doing that. And it's a damn neat certainty that the vibe coders who use the AI model are not attaching a license disclosure containing every permissive licenses in GitHub. Even if their vibe coded app is arguably a derivative work.

  • Here's how many times Trump invoked Fifth Amendment in civil fraud trial, according to a judge

  • Really, as a convicted criminal, Donald Trump should be spending more time practicing the fine art of shutting the fuck up.

  • DOGE Must Face Privacy Suit Over Access to Treasury, OPM Data

    Jump

  • So basically, Elon Musk was never the official Administrator of DOGE. It was this different woman that no one has heard of or seen.

    On paper Elon Musk was only ever a "Special Government Employee". This is an advisory or consultant type position that normally comes with no salary. It allows the politicians and political appointees to bring in their old friends from outside government, so they can talk to them. And meanwhile the friends get badges and credentials and email accounts so they can function in the office. But the bottom line is that SGE only ever has advisory power; no real power.

    So that's why Musk is not named on a lot of these suits. Anna Bower spent a lot of time trying to figure it out.

  • Trump will declare a ‘national emergency’ before midterms: Bannon

    Jump

  • Here's the plan for how the SAVE Act is intended to work:

    1. SAVE Act requires voter ID, but it actually requires a photo ID that says "US citizen" on the ID.
    2. For most people, the only identity documents that do that are passport books and passport cards.
    3. Bad news: By and large, Americans don't have passports. Passport adoption is really low compared to Europe.
    4. Suddenly a bunch of Americans have to apply for passports to vote. Many will have trouble gathering the required documents, including birth certificates and marriage licenses (for name changes). Many won't get it done in time.
    5. What a disaster! So many people can't vote!
    6. But wait! SAVE Act comes in with a solution! States can be exempted from the ID bullshit.
    7. But there's a catch! To get the exemption, your state must have been turning over its voter rolls to the feds, quarterly, since July, 2025.
    8. If your state, like every, uh, blue state, hasn't been doing that... Well, I guess it just sucks to suck. There's no way to become compliant now, and the SAVE Act hasn't even been enacted yet.

  • In Texas, individual precinct judges are granted extremely broad police power to ensure the proper decorum in and orderly operation of their polling places. And this power is independent of the county sheriff, the constables, and any local police department

  • Which is really strange, because the voter rolls are public information in every state of the Union. You can just buy them, and many political action groups do.

  • Remember folks: they're making these admissions because they don't want the judge to order them to turn over even more damaging documents in discovery.

  • Technically, the war was "off" during that time, to avoid busting the 60 day limit without explicit Congressional authorization. We're now in a completely new "second war," by the way. So the 60 day clock has obviously restarted, duh.

    Anyhow, those casualties couldn't possibly have been war casualties, because we were dodging the war status for legal reasons.
