INSANE ENDING. Some things, you just knew would happen before they do.

I was checking bags at Kona Airport on The Big Island, Hawai’i… Then, this kid just pops through the bag conveyer. Mild panic ensued, then he was just handed over to the first Hawaiian to claim him. 😂🫣

‼️URGENT‼️ America may be building the infrastructure for mass incarceration under the banner of an AI boom — and waiting for proof of a coordinated plan could mean waiting until that infrastructure is already in place. That is the danger I see in the data-center gold rush - an inevitable bubble burst that hands the federal government 5,000+ prepackaged, fully functioning prisons. The scenario is straightforward: private capital finances a nationwide network of large, secured industrial buildings. When AI revenues fail to justify the investments and ongoing costs of operating with quickly obsolete hardware, distressed facilities will become acquisition targets. Only then will the Government step in, and infrastructure that was sold to communities as economic development, becomes available for an entirely different purpose. Mass Detention. A data center is not a turnkey prison. But land, windowless buildings, out of sight of most public-view, utilities, and secured perimeters provide a great starting point for a bad future reality. Granted, conversion requires money and political will. But, neither is an insurmountable obstacle for a government committed to expanding detention. Seemingly unrelated, the public response (or lack thereof) to recent aggressive immigration enforcement, matters. The militarized and untrained immigration officers marching armed down the street, matters. Every tolerated public abuse signals how much further authorities may be able to go than in the past. It need not be an organized “test” to function as one. We have failed. The danger is where these trajectories meet: obvious financially vulnerable infrastructure and a government already proven to be willing to expand its power to detain. Just consider the hypothetical scale: 5,000 moderately sized facilities. 1,000 beds each. Five. million. people. detained. simultaneously. If they ever announced a plan to build thousands of prisons, and the public got a chance to resist… We would resist. The intent would be too obvious. However, if they let private industry convince you to approve thousands of industrial developments individually, one by one, subsidized by capital markets, government loan guarantees, local tax-abatements, then the government can pursue quick-conversions later, and the fight begins with the buildings already standing. If I’m not clear so far: I suspect the data-center boom is simply a Trojan horse for building mass-detention facilities. Suspicion is not proof of a secret plan. It is a reason to investigate ownership, financing, government contracts, and any proposed changes of use—NOW. The time to demand answers is BEFORE the purpose changes and the doors lock behind you. @TuckerCarlson @josephfcox @nytimes @wapo @nickshirleyy @NickJFuentes @latimes @nypost

Can someone at @GEODISPark elaborate on what exactly a Pride Night is?
