How ICE Uses AI to Automate Authoritarianism From the frontlines of ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis, Kairos Fellows senior campaigner Irna Landrum considers the use of AI in the immigration crackdown.

This excellent front-line account of ICE's "automated authoritarianism" by Minneapolis resident Irna Landrum carefully lays out other building blocks of this machine:

Private data like LexisNexis, DOGE's stolen data, Medicare and Medicaid, and state-level data like DMV records

ICE Detention of Teen Musicians Roils Texas Mariachi Community Two brothers who were recognized by their congresswoman last year, along with their parents and younger brother, are facing deportation.

Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

Counterpoint: Limiting how US troops can be used illegally in unconstitutional wars of the president’s own choosing *IS* supporting “the troops.”

Here's back to back clips of Fox & Friends misleading viewers this morning by presenting as though it's new an old clip of Donald Trump attending a dignified transfer without his campaign baseball cap on (unlike yesterday, when he wore one), then apologizing for it later in the show

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

On the Fox News website, they have the real video and the fake one together -- the real one twice (top and bottom in image) and then this older video from December 2025 presented as this weekend (middle)

Fox News and the GOP built this

Fox News is not news

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

Fox is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. The more you watch, the less you know.

Hard to see how this lines up with the growing momentum for a ground war.

This is something you'd see from Russian media

Still of President Trump at yesterday's dignified transfer ceremony as seen on Fox & Friends.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

New York is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam AG Letitia James will head an "independent assessment" of what happened to the Blind Rohingya refugee who Border Patrol dumped in Buffalo.

NY Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.

you can get away with this when the economy is good and you're not, idk, involved in one war and multiple other unpopular entanglements, but the act gets tired fast when seven different colors of shit are hitting the fan

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

We live in a world where the binge-drinking Fox News weekend host who didn't wash his hands for a decade is openly boasting about committing genocide.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

zero percent chance that Susan Collins doesn't immediately drop all of this the second the general election starts if this guy wins the primary - the DoD is 100% sitting on the file on this guy and will send it to her the second he wins the nomination

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."

Critical thread on Platner, who is becoming the Democrats' Roy Moore (i.e. a test of whether we have any boundaries at all).

US asked Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones, Zelensky says Ukraine's president says Kyiv will only help if doing so does not deplete its own air defences.
