Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Man, I feel bad for Connolly and his family personally, but here is yet again another septuagenarian member of Congress putting his own personal feelings ahead of doing what was best for the country. All of these folks have gotta go.

Defund the police was a bad slogan, which is why it took massive expenditures of political and financial capital along with the deployment of widespread state violence to suppress it, and also why everyone knows it and we're still talking about it five years later

Wikipedia is almost the opposite of AI. Wikipedia is the product of LOTS of ppl working together— sometimes uneven, contentious, or half-baked, but in a state of ongoing improvement through discussion you can view. AI is often a slurry of stolen content, processed in a black box to look definitive

ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited). It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.

The Trump-Vance admin just deported two families, including three US citizen kids ages 2, 4, and 7. Both families were detained and then blocked from communicating with attorneys or family members. One of the moms is pregnant. One of the citizen kids has cancer. Both deported without medical help.

Trump asked today, why didn’t Ukraine fight back in Crimea in 2014? As I wrote in my book, The War Came To Us, Ukraine’s decision to not fight against Russia’s invasion was largely influenced by behind-the-scenes pressure from the US. Here’s what then-interim President Oleksandr Turchynov told me:

I remember that one random year in middle school when there was suddenly +7 kids in our class, all from crimea, they all talked about how badly they want to go home and were promised that it would be soon 10 years later and they still can’t go home, now facilitated by the US for profit

A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

There is more evidence behind the claim "JD Vance killed the pope" than there is behind the claim that any of the people renditioned to the slave camp in El Salvador are gang members.

And ok I'm just going to say it: "extremism studies" departments and the ADL extremism center get a lot of money from and for training cops. Cops don't want to hear that these shooters are Nazis anymore, because the Nazis shooters are saying the same things as Trump and his cop supporters.

I am honestly so disgusted by this trend within Extremism Expert circles where now that we live under fascism, we're coding far right extremism as "no clear ideology, they just like miscellaneous hate groups, what a startling development" NO. They're fucking Nazis. What the fuck.

🚨SCOOP🚨: DOGE is building a master database at DHS that could track and surveil immigrants. They are already cross-referencing immigration data with data from SSA, IRS, and voting records from at least Pennsylvania and Florida, sources tell me. www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

Turning Point member who was asked to leave a debate club. Fellow student said that the gunman “was a big part of it as to why I felt unsafe post-election to come back to the club. He was sort of like the MAGA ringleader in the group.” In another context this would be presented as cancel culture.

Obviously, a huge victory for the migrants here and a major defeat for Trump’s lawless effort to rush out a rendition flight before the courts could act. But also—potentially a massive signal from the Supreme Court that it is finally prepared to go toe to toe with Trump to halt AEA deportations.
