Bukele's dirty secret: He made deals with the worst gangs

A cacophony of right-wing commentators now believes that El Salvador, under Nayib Bukele’s dictatorship, is the “safest” country in the Western Hemisphere. Bukele himself certainly wants us to believe it’s because he’s gone to war with the gangs. They’re all wrong — and disastrously so.

According to El Faro, the country’s most respected investigative outlet, the relative peace in El Salvador is not the result of a decisive war on gangs, but rather, of a secret pact negotiated directly between Bukele’s own Director of Prisons Osiris Luna and his head of the Social Fabric Reconstruction Unit, Carlos Marroquín, and gang leaders, starting in late 2019. He also took on similar negotiations with gangs as a mayor of San Salvador, from 2015 to 2018.

  • You're right, it's something that is happening and could be good too. But you're also missing the point. It's the massive application of AI on all kinds of areas including social media, communications and the intrusive forms of nourish that kind of systems with your data almost every time without our consent. Without and option to opt-out or better not being involved in all that shit that consumes a lot of water and energy, and its being overestimated.

    Rep. Randy Fine Implies Gaza Should Be 'Nuked' Like Japan After DC Shooting - News From Antiwar.com

    On Thursday, Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) appeared to suggest that Gaza should be “nuked” like Japan was during World War II in response to the shooting in Washington DC that killed two Israeli embassy staffers.

    The congressman was asked [in an interview on Fox News if the shooting should change the course of Israel’s onslaught on Gaza. “Well, I think it speaks to the importance of the only end of the conflict is the complete and total surrender by those who support Muslim terror,” Fine replied.

    “In World War II, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Nazis, we did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese. We nuked the Japanese twice in order to get unconditional surrender, that needs to be the same here,” Fine added.

    In 'Intolerable Attack,' Trump DHS Blocks Harvard From Enrolling International Students | Common Dreams

    "There is no purpose to this other than to hurt Harvard and its students for not fully capitulating to Trump" Professor of Denver

    Observers are sharply condemning a decision by the Trump administration, announced on Thursday, to terminate Harvard University's Student Exchange and Visitor Program certification, meaning that the Ivy League school will no longer be able to enroll foreign students.

    According to the announcement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the move also means that foreign students already enrolled at Harvard must transfer elsewhere. The administration alleges the school's leaders have permitted "anti-American, pro-terrorist agitators to harass and physically assault individuals, including many Jewish students."

    Harvard has over 6,700 international students, according to data from the school, or 27% international enrollment.

  • To be clear, the article is about people who don't wanna use AI and hes chois or not to do it in a personal level. No an impose to those who embrace AI. Is more like if a person can chose to say not to AI, or in words from the article "those who are left behind is widening and becoming a social barrier".
