Cops nailed an Australian reporter live on camera with a rubber bullet, in case you're wondering if Australians are going to want to visit the US anytime soon. (probably deliberately, they are not supposed to randomly fire into the crowd but pick a target who they deem a threat)
(Update: video plainly shows the nearest cop deciding to nail the reporter in the leg with "nonlethal" (less lethal) ammo, on camera)

If anyone is considering blaming those in LA for confronting ICE for the rise in violence, I strongly recommend reconsidering your position.
This *is* the plan. It has always been the plan to rachet up ICE violence until that are finally confronted.
Now is the time to support those on the front lines resisting the government troops who are, quite literally, rounding up folks and sending them to concentration camps*.

This paper is required reading. It runs 80 pages or so. It is not technical. It’s summarizes a good deal of reporting the likes of more perfect union has provided.
What becomes clear by page 40 is how deeply fucked our economy is because of a parasitic financial class.
This is the billionaire class. This is what they do. They have no idea that their network state cannot work. they only destroy.

The other day it occurred to me that we're not that far away from a point where anyone really good at LLM prompting can spin up an entire business.
Including spinning up an investment firm.
At which point, some really crafty econ majors will vibe code their way to a virtual autonomous investment machine completely unhindered by the slowness imposed by corporate bureaucracy people needing to do bureaucratic things in order to get stuff done.

@HamonWry Holy crap! This guy on the left feels entirely empowered to deliberately take aim at and shoot with rubber bullet someone who is very obviously a reporter, and nowhere near the actual protesters!
With her being Australian, and with this 100% clearly being on video, this should be a massive international incident, in addition a to being outrageous in its own right!
