"The Alex Pretti shooting was a public execution. There's no other way to put it. The working class are the majority, and if we want to not have a society where few exploit many for a gain they don't really need, then the many need to take power."

Beneath the #problematic surface, New York Times’ #Kursk reporting reveals a deeper moral rot
At the end of the day, this is just a very simple question of #moral fiber.
As a flagship Western #media outlet, in a country that has long been the center of the free world – but is now facing a moral crisis of its own – The New York Times has an inherent duty to #document these #historic events with some level of moral grounding.

The attacks on Judge John Barberis in the fall of 2016 appeared on his personal Facebook page. They impugned his ethics, criticized a recent ruling and branded him as a “politician” with the “LOWEST rating for a judge in Illinois.” ...
Legal experts examined the document that reveals the following:
It provides directives to front-line officers apprehending suspected Tren de Aragua members, suggesting officers obtain a warrant of apprehension and removal “as much as practicable.” Those administrative warrants are signed by immigration officers, not judges like criminal warrants.
Due to a “dynamic nature of law enforcement procedures” officers are free to "apprehend aliens" based on their “reasonable belief” they meet the definitions, the memo states.
It purports to grant authority for police to enter a suspected "Alien Enemy’s residence" if “circumstances render it impracticable” to first obtain a warrant.
The memo told law enforcement that immigrants deemed "Alien Enemies" are “not entitled to a hearing, appeal or judicial review.”
That's because they're trying to distract from the memo:
For purposes of this guidance memorandum, an "Alien Enemy" under the Proclamation
and 50 U.S.C. § 21 is a person who is: (1) fourteen years of age or older; (2) not a citizen or lawful
permanent resident of the United States; (3) a citizen of Venezuela; and ( 4) a member of the hostile
enemy Tren de Aragua, as determined by reference to Form AEA-21A, titled, "Alien Enemies Act:
Alien Enemy Validation Guide," attached to this memorandum.
(2) Removal of Alien Enemies
All aliens who are determined to be Alien Enemies under the Proclamation and 50 U.S.C.
§ 21 shall be issued a.Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal under the AEA and
removed from the United States, except as provided in section (8) of this memorandum. In
effectuating the removal of Alien Enemies, law enforcement officers and agents ("officers") must
follow the procedures below.
A. Apprehension and Removal Procedures in Proactive Matters
i. Step 1: Validation of Alien Enemy Status and Execution of Form AEA-21A
At Step 1 of the proactive AEA apprehension and removal procedures, a line officer, or any
other available officer ("line officer"), is responsible for determining whether an individual
qualifies as an Alien Enemy. As outlined above, that requires determining that an individual is:
(1) at least fourteen years ofage;
(2) not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States;
(3) a citizen of Venezuela; and
(4) a member ofTren de Aragua.
As outlined in that form, there may be instances where removal proceedings under the Immigration and Nationality Act ("INA") would be more appropriate based upon a review of the facts of the case than removal
under the AEA. Line officers should adhere to the instructions in Form AEA-21A, including consulting with their supervisor(s) and the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in making such a determination.
As much as practicable, officers should follow the proactive procedures above—and have an executed Warrant of Apprehension and Removal—before contacting an Alien Enemy,” the memo reads. “However, that will not always be realistic or effective in swiftly identifying and removing Alien Enemies.… An officer may encounter a suspected Alien Enemy in the natural course of the officer’s enforcement activity, such as when apprehending other validated members of Tren de Aragua. Given the dynamic nature of enforcement operations, officers in the field are authorized to apprehend aliens upon a reasonable belief that the alien meets all four requirements to be validated as an Alien Enemy. This authority includes entering an Alien Enemy’s residence to make an AEA apprehension where circumstances render it impracticable to first obtain a signed Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal” (emphasis added).
Hi, I'm looking for some recommendations, mostly looking for pointers of where to go and look at/research stuff as I have no idea what is good and what is just well advertised. ...
So you would then add many documents at once to the feeder, and Paperless will read the QR and also split documents whenever a new code appears?
What about documents you don’t want to keep physically? Is there a way to get Paperless to split them automatically as well if you add many to the feeder?
Paperless supports two different splitting methods:
If it encounters an ASN QR code, it'll split at that point and keep the page with the barcode
If it encounters a special barcode that's used as a separator sheet, it'll split at that point and delete the page with the barcode. By default it looks for a "Patch T" barcode, and you can a page with a Patch T barcode from https://www.alliancegroup.co.uk/patch-codes.htm
so all you need to do is have a "Patch T" page between each document and it'll split them automatically.
I'm also using paperless-ai to automatically tag and set a title for scanned documents. Very useful. I'd love to run my own AI locally using ollama, but I don't have good enough hardware so for now I'm using Google's Gemini 2.0 Flash. I trust Google's privacy policy far more than OpenAI's, Google Gemini is very cheap, and if you use the paid version they don't retain any of your data nor use it for training.
