The other bad dialectic, by the way, is between ultra-Left apologists who hold ‘the Jews’ wholly guilty for these attacks, and Zionist apologists who proclaim absolute innocence. Both shades of moralism are shoddy substitutes for political analysis

Attacks on Jewish diaspora communities are morally inexcusable. They’re also bound to occur when communal representatives proclaim our collective allegiance to a pariah state pursuing some of the greatest atrocities of a still-young century

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 ‘targets’

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.

Portland, South Portland police texted with immigration agent during surge operation in Maine Records obtained by the Press Herald reveal how local officials communicated with a federal officer, including on the surveillance of protesters, when more than 200 arrests were made in late January.

These messages, which only came to light through FOIA requests, are deeply disturbing—and a serious betrayal of public trust.

They include veiled threats toward protesters, crude jokes about "shithole countries,” and quips about “pissing off the libs.”

This is the toxic culture DHS has created.

If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

Also, the expense of ICE detention is a big part of how the government is deporting people with every legal right to be in the U.S.

They don’t have to reshape immigration and citizenship policy if they just make it too expensive for people to access their rights.

We need reparations for ICE victims.

Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.

Also it says this dude started his Target fast 10 days ago?? How OBNOXIOUS that a bunch of people are looking to him when Nekima and her colleagues have been out there doing the work for months and months and months!

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

Nekima on the Target boycott.

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Security researcher Micah Lee organized the leaked data on a dedicated website, making the information easily searchable

The site shows the name of the contractors, the amount of money they were awarded, as well as contact information, such as full names, email addresses, and phone numbers.

Everything apocalyptic in the Bible is about the tyrants and empires of the day. It's not a Magic 8 Ball. You have to be both stupid and evil to read it and decide to start a tyrannical empire, and yet!

Wow. Never ever thought of it like that.

(Reading back through your old posts and really appreciating and being edified by your point of view. Thank you.)

I too would rather ignore politicians but alas they have too much power over how I live.

So sad and absolutely exhausted tonight.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

My kid is currently in a play called “The Bardy Bunch” which is basically exactly this.

YOU MUST DO YOUR STRETCHES TO HAVE STRENGTH TO GRIND YOUR ENEMIES' BONES TO DUST.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

So we have yet another incident where a US citizen was shot and killed by ICE, and the official ICE account differs from bodycam footage.

This is the story that took nearly a year to break and now we have the bodycam footage.

If the government dropped a bomb that took my kid from me, I wouldn’t be thinking about politics or strategy. I’d be thinking about who did it, and how far I’d have to go to make them feel what I felt. People act surprised when the world gets more dangerous, but this is exactly how it happens.

Every woman who has been sexually assaulted understands the impulse to just walk away because justice is a pipe dream and you don’t want to put yourself through a second, emotional assault when you tell your story.

GOP bill would require Tennessee public schools to check student immigration status • Tennessee Lookout A Tennessee bill would require public schools to gather student immigration status data and report it to the state’s education department.

A bill by House Majority Leader William Lamberth that will require K-12 districts to gather student immigration status data and report it to the state’s education department drew boos and cries of "Shame, shame" from opponents on Wednesday, reports @anitawadhwani.bsky.social.

Yeah I just heard the pain behind what you said. It’s so ugly how cruel people are.
