⚠️ JUST IN: Staff at the nation’s largest #ICE detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Today we observed six shackled detainees being loaded onto the ICE Air flight at MSP. They're heading to El Paso, where conditions are so horrific, staff gamble on who the next prisoner to commit suicide will be.

The man walking from right to left at the beginning of the clip is dragging shackles.

WSJ: Sen. Graham says he pushed Trump toward Iran strikes with help from Israel ShareSen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he met with Israeli intelligence officials several times in the weeks before the war with Iran and advised Israeli Prime Minister…

For ten years, people, people were like, "What does Trump have on Lindsey Graham?!"

And I'd say, "Shit. Graham is even more bloodthirsty than Trump."

To all the “difficult“ women. Fuck the misogynistic patriarchy.
We are tired of colonial genocidal violence being protected, of women being failed, of entire communities being asked to survive systems designed to intentionally harm us.
I want a 🌎 not built around men’s violence, greed & entitlement

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.

We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE.

But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.

So Russia is helping Iran target American troops. Ukraine is offering drone defense.

Guess who Trump NEVER ONCE has EVER criticized?

Correct. Russia

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Between waging war on Americans and waging war on Iranians, maybe this regime will be spread too thin and collapse

Keep fighting ICE, do not become overwhelmed

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

Distressing content warning:

A bodycam video seems to contradict the claims made by ICE regarding the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez.

Homeland Security and ICE kept the murder of 23-year-old American citizen Ruben Ray Martinez on March 2025 a complete secret.

Last March, two employees from Elon’s DOGE arrived at the agency with the mandate of canceling previously approved grants that ran afoul of President Trump’s agenda. But instead of looking closely at funded projects, they pulled short summaries off the internet and fed them into the A.I. chatbot.

Trump Goons Ordered to Hide Major Threat from Americans A joint intelligence statement on the Iran war was reportedly blocked by the White House.

It criminal: Several agencies were ready to release a joint intelligence statement last week to alert state and local authorities to a heightened threat due to the president’s strikes on Iran—until the White House stepped in.

As evidence, the filing notes a list Mr. Fox compiled of what he called the "craziest" and "other bad" grants, which he planned to highlight on DOGE's X account. He used three dozen keywords, including
"L.G.B.T.Q.""BIPOC," "tribal, "ethnicity,"
"gender," "equality," "immigration
"citizenship" and "melting pot." (A majority of the two dozen grants deemed "craziest" related to L.G.B.T.Q. subjects.)
In the deposition, Mr. Fox said the list reflected his "subjective" judgment about whether a grant might be out of line with Mr. Trump's executive order.
"Crazy' is one way of saying it," he said.
"Most incriminating' is another way."

Why did I think they simply canceled all of them. Nope it was discriminatory

I’ve been to Cuba. It’s a beautiful country with friendly folks who just want to live w/dignity.
Cuba has never attacked America despite the USA meddling in their affairs since the 19th Century.
The only justification I see is their communist gov.
They are NO threat to America!
Just GOP politics!

It Wasn't Fascism All Along Conservatism was a distinct ideology but it is dead and it is not coming back.

Very interesting from @polphilpod.bsky.social.

"It's not as if fascism ever went away...Fascists have fought to undermine conservatism from within...Fascists took elite conservatives' measure nicely...The future will belong either to liberals or fascists."
