These particular ships technically were not attempting to pass through the strait, they were anchored in Iraqi territorial waters. The backlog will extend even further now that it can be considered risky to be anywhere near the strait.

The Iranian military has stated their intention to attack any ship passing through the strait without their permission.

It's nonsense, that's why it's hard to understand.

In this video you can see the agent in the gray coat and baseball cap remove the gun from Pretti's waistband: https://files.catbox.moe/sp296e.mp4

Here is a stabilized version: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minneapolis/comments/1qlyj9h/i_did_...

After that agent takes the gun, the agent standing immediately to the left draws and fires into Pretti's back.

He was a US citizen according to the Minneapolis police chief.

That's not actually true. YouGov's poll shows only 34% of Americans believe ICE's operations are making America safer: https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/53878-more-americ...

Polling from them says about half of Americans have an unfavorable view of ICE, a far better rating than Congress, for example at 80% disapprove.

So you’ve got a swath of people who are fine with what ICE is doing, or don’t care to even make their dissatisfaction known via a survey, much less the ballot box or via a riot.

You said "Don’t forget half the population (within polling MOE) supports this, believing ICE/ removal operations are making America safer...".

That's not true. Barely a third of Americans believe that. Nearly half of Americans want ICE outright abolished.

Ok, so revised: half the population wants ICE abolished and nearly half the population has a favorable view of ICE.

The OP question was why aren’t Americans rising up and resisting ICE, and the answer I gave was because about half the population doesn’t even dislike them enough to answer a survey negatively.

I'm not sure that revision is correct either. What poll shows half the population with a favorable view of ICE? I can't find anything that high. The highest I see from reputable pollsters is 40%, and most show it is decreasing.

That kind of makes it sound like AI is a feature and not a product, which supports avalys' point.

They're probably referring to MGX, one of the major investment groups. It's the UAE's state-owned investment fund.

I unlocked my phone the other day and had the entire screen taken over with an ad for the Gemini app. There was a big "Get Started" button that I almost accidentally clicked because it was where I was about to tap for something else.

As an Android and Google Workspace user, I definitely feel like Google is "pushing their AI into everything they can", including the Gemini app.

I think Gattaca is a more relevant movie here.

Or the Masterpiece Society episode from TNG.
