ICE agents initially claimed Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the man’s 31-year-old’s brain. ... A CT scan revealed at least eight skull fractures and life-threatening hemorrhages in at least five areas of his brain. Mondragón entered the U.S. in 2022 with valid immigration documents. Minnesota incorporation filings show he founded a company called Castaneda Construction the following year with an address listed in St. Paul. He appears to have no criminal record. apnews.com/article/immigr…

Let me understand this, Colin Kaepernick was threatened, blacklisted, condemned for peacefully taking a knee in protest against racial injustice/police brutality, but Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gives a misogynistic, bigoted, homophobic speech and it’s fine? Racism.

@perryjsmith @OpenAI I need to try this!

Well @OpenAI built me an MVP for a note taking extension in Google Chrome. Basically took a no/low code person all the way to production. 🤯 #AI (Needs some design love lol🤣)

@perryjsmith That's just the warmup 😆

In 1 wk I was told I needed glasses and a mouth guard at night for grinding teeth. This is #adulting isn’t it.

@perryjsmith @thepurposehotel Good question.

Is the @thepurposehotel still happening?

When it comes to tax avoidance, Trump is not alone. Federal income taxes paid in 2020: Nike: $0 FedEx: $0 HP: $0 Salesforce: $0 Dish Network: $0 Charter Communications: $0 Duke Energy: $0 Yes. Dr. King was right. We have socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the rest.

My #Asian mother just found out my bro tattooed a #anime character in his arm. Will let you know if he’s alive after this. 😂
