lol we don’t know they did this and they didn’t do it but if they did this they should reverse it and also we stopped them from doing it…

It’s genuinely hard to make Dubya seem like a poet laureate but here we are

If it's not made a crime to sell your personal data and location to third parties - organizations like ICE are going to keep buying and using it

Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

White House talking points for congressional Republicans say we're not at war, we're just in "major combat operations against Iran" lol

That is so ridiculous.
How can you believe in an omniscient, omnipotent God and yet also believe you can gaslight that same God into doing something because you have lots of exploding metal?

I have no idea! I need to do some digging.

As Trump’s ICE crackdown continues to sweep up immigrants across the United States, reporter @bradheath.bsky.social “found 4,421 cases involving more than 400 judges who said these detentions are illegal.”

Gross.

FBI will not provide the BCA access to evidence gathered from Pretti shooting, BCA says Minnesota criminal investigators have again been denied access to evidence and other materials collected by federal authorities after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, state officials said Monday.

FBI refusing to share Alex Pretti shooting evidence with state investigators. "BCA Superintendent Drew Evans said Monday that the FBI formally notified the state on Friday that it won’t grant the access." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

America may have always been like this for far too many people but this administration is bringing it home, directly and in person, to a ton of folks who have never seen it before

that this is their response is extremely encouraging

NEW: How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention

9-year-old Maria Antonia begged her mom to take her to the park’s annual Halloween celebration. But as soon as she arrived at Miami International Airport, everything started going wrong.

a street flooded with thousands of marchers.

Yesterday upwards of 300 million people across India held a national strike.

Numerous unions and farmers' groups flooded the streets, shutting down large segments of the economy.

One of the key demands was a withdrawal from the trade deal struck with the Trump administration.

“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Anarchists in the Movement against Police and White Supremacy A timeline tracing anarchist contributions to anti-police uprisings from the Rodney King riots of 1992 to the George Floyd uprising in 2020.

Some described the movement against police and white supremacy that entered the public eye in May 2020 as a "failure" because it didn't win legislative changes.

But the Twin Cities have been able to resist ICE because of networks that developed then. Changing a broken system takes more than reform.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

What is violence?

Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?

Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?

Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask—

Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

Hey Chuck, I know the Baileys. They are solidly on board with abolishing ICE at this point. Eileen is driving her friend Luisa's mom to chemo and calls me up to say she's just aghast at how scared she is.

We want ICE abolished and their agents hauled before Nuremberg style tribunals. Anything less is a policy failure.

This administration’s strategy is to divide working people and distract us from the rising cost of food and housing, medical debt, stagnant wages, and the daily struggle to survive with dignity.

Our union’s strategy is to unite to win a better future for ALL.

Share this with everyone you know. ICE has not backed down in Minnesota. They are kidnapping children from their homes and sending them to an unheated prison in the dead of winter. The maximum legal detention time is 20 days (still too long!). Some kids have been imprisoned over 100 days there

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.”

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.
