Circumventing the courts
The number of removals proceeding through immigration courts declined significantly in recent years. In FY 2013, just one in six immigration removals was processed through the immigration courts, with the remainder taking place through expedited processes (Figure 1). In percentage terms, the frequency with which removals move through immigration courts has dropped by more than half since President Obama took office in 2009 and by two-thirds since 2002. Meanwhile, expedited removals and reinstatements of previous removal orders each hit record highs in both absolute and percentage terms. This suggests that, in the absence of additional resources to clear an immigration court backlog of over 400,000 cases, the government increasingly uses removal procedures that circumvent the courts entirely.
1/15 The Strategic Sabotage of the Khan-MBS Partnership by the UAE
The removal of a sitting Prime Minister is rarely just about domestic politics. In the case of Imran Khan, a sophisticated regional operation was executed to systematically destroy his personal rapport with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. This was a strategic move to ensure Pakistan remained dependent on middlemen rather than a sovereign partner.
2/15 Central to this narrative is Umar Farooq Zahoor. While presented to the public as a businessman, his background suggests a role as a high level strategic asset. For years, he operated at the highest levels of UAE corporate power as the Director of AMERI Group, the private office of Sheikh Ahmed Bin Dalmook Al Maktoum, a member of the Dubai ruling family.
3/15 Zahoor is not an independent actor. Despite facing serious legal allegations and red notices in Europe for financial fraud, he has enjoyed high level protection and luxury in Dubai. His role as a fixer for regional interests made him the perfect instrument to execute a character assassination against the leadership in Islamabad.
“…almost everywhere, and their task is to make our offensive as difficult, bloody, and resource-intensive as possible. And this is not just about the ‘drone line’ anymore.

“For example, we are now seeing tactical techniques like this: their artillery is positioned deep in their battle lines, beyond the reach of our main drones, and they keep their own forward positions and key objects on it well-fortified with well-positioned fire.

@VVendee is a pro IRGC terrorist agent in Poland.
Beware of these agents who work for terrorism.
The IRGC was behind killer vaccines that killed so many around the world.
The IRGC is a stanic force.
Be aware of their brainwashing internet campaigns.
Their main nest is Poland.

$1,412 flight. I paid $186.
These 7 ChatGPT prompts quietly break airline pricing:
1. Hidden Route Scanner
Prompt: Act as a professional flight pricing analyst. Break my route into hidden city tickets, nearby departure and arrival airports, and multi-leg combinations airlines don’t surface. Compare direct vs split routes, explain the price gap, and rank the cheapest legal options.
2. Price Manipulation Detector
Prompt: Analyze how airlines raise prices using repeated searches, cookies, browser data, device type, IP location, and time-based demand signals. Explain exactly which behaviors trigger price inflation and give a precise step-by-step search method to avoid it.
Marriage is an institution ordered to the common good of civil communities. Thus, it is political and, as such, it is not merely a matter of prudence for the individuals involved but a matter of political prudence as well.
This is what Aristotle meant by "politics" being "architectonic": ethics and oikonomia find their completion through the operations of politics, being directed and coordinated toward the common good of civil communities. Private virtue is completed with public virtue.
But "public virtue" for our "natural law" theorist is nothing but a disparate collection of virtuous individuals with virtue acquired entirely outside of what is proper to politics. Public virtue is collapsed into private virtue. It should not surprise us that few people are virtuous today.
O sujeito é só um ator. Sim, ser um artista é uma grande coisa, mas essa é, talvez, a única profissão que as pessoas querem ir além de suas atribuições e capacidades. Um artista não é — necessariamente — um intelectual. Mas tem algo neles que os faz pensar que são. +
Aí se tornam isso: uns malas sem alça pretensiosos, que acham que são capazes de, com sua arte, mudar a realidade. Mas isso é raro! Pouquíssimos são capazes de fazer isso e, geralmente, fazem sem intenção, fazem porque são grandiosos. Não ficam arrotando “consciência”. +
E o artista brasileiro, pra piorar, é um elitista incorrigível. Sim, a ditadura foi um problema da elite, os pobres estavam tentando botar comida na mesa. E nossos maiores cineastas, herdeiros ricaços que são, ficam nos penitenciando a vida toda com seu sentimento de culpa. +
A thread funciona como um desabafo opinativo pessoal, não como argumento filosófico ou análise sociológica rigorosa.
O autor parte de generalizações normativas, lança causalidades amplas sem evidência ou estrutura lógica robusta, e usa linguagem de desqualificação.

As premissas são simplistas o que enfraquece a força de suas hipóteses.
O fio não é construído para persuadir, mas para reforçar identidades já consolidadas. Trata-se menos de um argumento filosófico e mais de um discurso de coesão grupal, típico da polarização.

Se você chegou aqui então deve ter interesse sobre minha opinião.
Uma crítica liberal-democrata separa claramente:
► Juízo estético ou cultural (arte pode ser ruim, elitista, irrelevante);
► Diagnóstico institucional (por que o país funciona mal).
