They blew up or drowned 150 people with absolutely no justification and it was a 10-minute story.

As Rep. Jayapal says, our reporting has found that these aren’t isolated incidents. Last October, we tallied more than 170 cases of U.S. citizens detained by immigration agents.

Here’s that investigation she’s referring to:

I don’t think people have grasped what it means to have a WH & a military who commits mass murder over and over for the sole purpose of committing mass murder.

They fund it in Gaza. They're doing it to Venezuelan fisherman. They're doing it in Iran. They're doing it in the streets and in concentration camps to immigrants in the US. They've done it to US citizen protestors on the streets in Minnesota.

There are no limits to what they are capable of.

American stranded in the Middle East:

When we got the alert the first day, I did call the embassy. I wasn't able to get through. That was a little disconcerting. We had pretty much already arranged everything ourselves by the time the State Department started getting organized. #Sheshed

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.

The 1973 oil embargo was seismic event that sent shocks through the US economic, political, and social infrastructure.

It contributed to the demise of the domestic auto industry, the beginning of the homelessness epidemic, and the rise of neoliberalism.

This could be bigger.

There is a saying that when plans for war are made, the enemy has a say. Well, in this case, so do allies who are disproportionately affected.

Energy market analysts say the impact of the Iran War on supply could be bigger than the 1973 oil embargo.

Qatar warns war will force Gulf to stop energy exports β€˜within days’ Gas producer says it will take β€˜weeks to months’ to restore deliveries after Iranian drone strike

War is the worst of human endeavors, but the reason militaries do not fight by pure thuggery, as the United States now does, is that it ultimately puts us more at risk and defiles us as a country. What are we even fighting for if we are nothing but the biggest bully on the block?

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the β€œnarco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends

Yes if you or your family can get legal help, you can argue your case but by the time your lawyer puts pen to paper you’ll almost certainly be in a detention center many states away.

Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany RodrΓ­guez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. 

RodrΓ­guez, who was in the car with her husband β€” a U.S. citizen β€” has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, RodrΓ­guez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and it’s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.

Something I don’t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. β€œMove fast and break things” but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

β€œ.. companies that paid the IEEPA tariffs are entitled to a refund,” said Ted Murphy, a trade lawyer at Sidley Austin. β€œHow that refund gets effectuated? We don’t know. And I would say nobody knows for sure. Which is crazy.”

Before the officers could handcuff her, Maria Estrada Juarez asked if she could hug her daughter one last time.
