I'll be sorely disappointed if Kamala Harris is the 2028 Democratic nominee. I'll vote for her, because it's the only real alternative, but I'll hold my nose while doing it.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Not only that but both Cook County and Dodge County claimed they looked for her in the facilities and said she wasn't there

Yeah I think by "looked" they mean walked to the front desk and asked.

This was very upsetting for me. I am very angry. I feel a little better now, but I was very angry.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

I'd suggest that Israelis should overthrow their government, but polling shows that large majorities of Israelis are in lockstep with the fascism.

All of this warring is on behalf of the Israelis, the Russian mafia, American billionaires and dominionists. I don't believe large majorities of Russians, Americans and Iranians want to go to war. Their governments are clearly operating without concern for their interests: they're illegitimate.

Update from Reed Showalter, who's at Broadview

"The Cook County Sheriff claims that they searched the facility and that Naqvi is not there. They also have no record that her phone is there. But there has been no actual search for her phone within the Broadview ICE Detention Center."

Updating: The woman is Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi, a current resident of Skokie who was born in Evanston

Afzul said her sister and her five coworkers were returning from Turkey after a work trip to India was canceled. She traveled to Bulgaria and Austria before flying back to Chicago on Thursday

CBP detained her for "irregular travel history," Afzul said.

Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison and the woman's sister, Sarah Afzul, said they were denied entry to the facility Friday afternoon

Afzul told me agents said her sister was not at the facility, though her phone's location indicates she is

My best friend’s sister, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, her phone just got turned back on. She is a US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, they said she was not transferred to Broadview, and now she's in a detention facility in WI.

The tidal wave of AI war slop on the internet makes it impossible to know what is actually happening in the Middle East. That is the point. Creating this shit should be a criminal offense. AI needs to be destroyed.
