ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose โ€˜targetsโ€™

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

This is hard to watch.

ICE and Police are still stirring up shit. Now in Vermont, they threw small women around, shot pepper balls willy-nilly, tossed flash grenades, smoke bombs, and even ran over protesters with SUVs, parking on them, and then just drove the fuck on.

He calls the Iran war โ€” which has already killled 7 Americans and hundreds of civilians โ€” "an excursion."

And heโ€™s spending tens of billions of dollars on it.

Does that make your life great again yet?

Nathan Cavanaugh, DOGE staffer w/ no expertise in federal grants, was in charge of cutting funds at the National Endowment for the Humanities using a flawed ChatGPT keyword search.

Not reading the grants.
Not evaluating the work.

Just scanning for keywords & cutting funds.

Photo of George C. Marshall, as Secretary of Defense, versus a rabid and ranting Pete Hegseth.

With departure of Noem, Hegseth now leads the cabinet in cosplaying.

He is in a snit because people are using "unflattering" pictures.

Here's one I used two days ago, matching him with a SecDef who actually took the job seriously. (Original images via Getty. fallows.substack.com/p/the-arroga... )

โ€œA cityโ€™s creativity doesnโ€™t depend on cars. Thatโ€™s the 20th century. Weโ€™re in the 21st.โ€โ€” Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.

No matter what happens in the Paris election in 4 days, the worldโ€™s cities owe @annehidalgo.bsky.social a huge debt of gratitude.

The boldest, most inspiring mayor Iโ€™ve seen.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

As Womenโ€™s Rights Falter Globally, US Moves To Weaken UN Support For Gender Equality - Health Policy Watch The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) began its 10-day session in New York on Monday, amid efforts by the United States to weaken womenโ€™s

Did you know:

That women only have 64% of the legal rights of men.

Globally, 54% of countries lack consent-based legal definitions of rape; 72% allow child marriage in all/some circumstances.

We are not making this shit up. The US isnโ€™t helping.

The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls

A MOC made for the 2019 film, Harriet, and I'm reposting it today to mark Harriet Tubman Day. This MOC shows her on the Underground Railroad, guided by the North Star.

5 Black Women Share What It Was Like to Face Record Unemployment in 2025 One year on from a sharp rise in layoffs for their demographic, Black women are building and sustaining communities in the face of a radically different employment landscape

For Black women, a job is often the structure we enter to survive, provide & prove ourselves; but our work is the deeper labor of making meaning, holding communities, telling truth, creating value, and moving something forward in the world. A job can hire us. Our work is what we were put here to do.
