Trump called for the US military to use US cities as "training grounds" to prepare for overseas wars. From Minneapolis to Iran, we face the same enemies.

Rival warlords attempting to assert control over collapsing empiresβ€”that is becoming the dominant form of governance.

Ahmadinejad was a leading critic of the Supreme Leader and had on numerous occasions implied that he would take a less confrontational approach to Israel if he were ever returned to a position of influence and they killed him nonetheless. Says a lot about the goals of the Israeli state.

When we say no war but class war we mean that no one in Iran is poisoning our water or stealing our wages or kidnapping our neighbors. And the people who are? They're spending our money on killing Iranians

β€˜No one deserves this’: Beaverton father dies after deportation to Mexico A Beaverton family is grieving after the father, who was detained and deported by ICE, has now died.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.

He finally died.

I am so angry.

Random question: does anybody know of a way to access episodes of the 2002 VH1 show Music Behind Bars? Asking for an (incarcerated) student.

I don’t think I fully appreciated how absurd this sentence is the first few times I read this book. Walter Johnson is an extraordinary writer.

The idea that there are going to be American Nuremberg trials, that state and municipal law enforcement will turn on the DHS SS, that the democrats will somehow save us - all of this is pure delusion. We cannot rely on the state to save us. The state will dance on our mass graves.

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer.

Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

Today did break me, entirely. So much ICE swooping through the neighborhood all day, beginning with 5 mins after I posted that below. I’m not interested in doing numbers off other people’s pain so I won’t write what happened. Just hold your people close.

Rollins over Abreu is pretty questionable, but this is otherwise pretty solid.
