This is Kamala "acting to end gun violence"

As SF DA, she RELEASED violent MS-13 gang member & illegal immigrant Edwin Ramos: caught with associate hiding a gun—used the *night before* in a DOUBLE HOMICIDE—down a storm drain

He then slaughtered a family

2/ This is Kamala "acting to end gun violence"

As Attorney General, she pushed a dumb law that DOWNGRADED gun theft to a misdemeanor

CA Democrats are OK with criminals—or the government—taking your guns

They just don't want legal gun owners to have them

3/ This is California "acting to end gun violence"

A FELON on probation caught with ILLEGAL guns (plural!) does not even set foot in jail—he is set free on "pre-trial diversion" & murders a 71-year-old just days later in a robbery
sfgate.com/crime/article/…
4/ This is California "acting to end gun violence"

California has the toughest gun laws in the nation

But each year, CA *declines* to prosecute 10,000 people who ILLEGALLY try to purchase firearms

The laws are intended to restrict *legal* gun ownership
5/ This is California "acting to end gun violence"

Desperate California police are now *circumventing* soft-on-gun-criminal Democrats and now going *directly* to the federal authorities—in order to PROSECUTE gun crimes

It’s not *just* pensions that threaten to sink California’s cities.

More than 70% of the cities in California do not have **ANY** funds set aside for other post-employment benefits—such as retiree health care—according to State Auditor Elaine Howle.😲

dailybreeze.com/2019/10/24/la-…
How did California get here?

Simply put, CA governments can promise retirement benefits—including healthcare—WITHOUT accounting for them

Before Detroit took** California's crown, Stockton was the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history

** borrowed
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
In the 1990s, Stockton officials doled out generous retirement health benefits without ensuring the city could afford the payments over time

A worker employed as little as A MONTH could qualify for city-paid retirement health care for the retiree AND his or her spouse FOR LIFE😲

California paradox

✅CA has the strictest gun laws in the nation
✅CA also loathes imprisoning criminals—felons with illegal guns are given very light sentences

Solution?

Local police are now going straight to federal authorities to prosecute gun crimes

He seemed like a perfect candidate for prosecution under California’s "tough" gun control laws.

A long rap sheet dating to 2007—including being a felon in possession of a firearm (his *first* gun arrest)

But when he was arrested again—with a stolen gun—police turned to the feds
California "gun control" hypocrisy exposed:

Under CA law, felons caught in possession of a firearm could face up to 3 years in prison

That sentence could be reduced by half for good behavior

Some felons caught with guns end up doing time in county jails

The Pentagon’s budget for 2020 has lavished almost $1bn on AI and over four times as much on unmanned and autonomous capabilities that rely on it.

A similar flurry of activity is under way in China and in Russia.
economist.com/science-and-te…
The paradox is that AI might at once penetrate and thicken the fog of war, allowing it to be waged with a speed and complexity that renders it essentially opaque to humans.

DARPA conducted tests of a drone swarm capable of collaborating even when cut off from human contact
There is now more raw data than ever before—in 2011 alone, America’s 11,000-or-so drones sent back over 37 years of footage

The second major application for AI in the armed forces will be in processing data—algorithms surpassed human performance in image classification by 2015

1) question: did you know that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has only been a member of house for about 7 months? .. she assumed office representing New York's 14th district just this year! whoa ... feels like shes everywhere. but why? how? what has she accomplished? idk but ...
2) she narrowly won her democratic primary by roughly 4,000 votes. to be fair, less than 30,000 people (out of ~700k) even showed up to vote ... voting is important. because now we have this ......
3) anyway, before i get into those accomplishments i need to tell a story bc it disgusts me to my core. this story is horrific and appalling. it happened on AOC's turf shortly after she took office. WARNING: this is graphic and not easy to watch

@jasoncrawford Let's talk "Mechanisms". As an ex-Amazonian you are well aware of this concept, but our mutual customers (followers) may not be.

Everyone has good intentions...
@jasoncrawford 2/ Everyone WANTS to do the right thing (e.g. read the doc sent out by email the night before).

But good intentions are never enough.
@jasoncrawford 3/ Sh*t doesn't get done based solely on good intentions. Change can't happen based only on good intentions.

What you need is a way to mechanize people's good intentions.

Calling MS-13 gang members who brutally slaughter their victims in horrific ways "animals" is actually being kind

They're subhuman filth and you're not much better in actually trying to defend them for some ghastly reason

.@POTUS What the #DOJ #FBI #JTTF #DHS have done is to take the most "successful" tenets of various torture protocols & have deployed them here in the USA, thru #ThreatFusionCenters.

2) What #DOJ refers to as #TheProgram is in reality not a #CounterIntelligence Program (#COINTELPRO) but rather a counter-terrorism program in which #terrorist tactics r used against the targets; i.e. anyone who has been put on the shitlist by rogue feds/LE. This is #terrorism.
