This was a question BEFORE the first date…

We don’t need to have a first date if we know we are unaligned on foundational issues

Toronto Film Critics Association Faces Collapse After Allegedly Censoring Indigenous Filmmaker’s Pro-Palestine Speech Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers returned her trophy, the president resigned and 16 members have quit — with more considering their position: "This Is Killing the TFCA."

“Unfortunately, I can’t in good faith participate in an organization that kicked off the awards ceremony with a land acknowledgement, and then proceeded to minimize the sole acceptance speech delivered by an Indigenous artist”

Notably this whiney complaint does not address the accusation that they put the story on page A11 of the print edition

Lying liars and the liar who hires and then fires them

Screenshot from the article linked in the post reading as follows: The FBI’s search of the family home turned up nothing to substantiate those allegations. What they did find, however, was Hemani’s gun. Hemani also admitted to the agents he had roughly two ounces of weed in the house, and consumes marijuana “about every other day.” This is unremarkable: Millions of Americans own a gun, and millions of Americans use marijuana. But technically, the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it illegal for any person “who is an unlawful user of or addicted to” certain controlled substances, including marijuana, to possess a gun. So in February 2023, federal prosecutors charged Hemani with a felony, and held him in pre-trial detention for seven months.

Much about the 'would the Framers be ok with gun rights for weed smokers' case is v funny but there is a serious part that hasn't gotten much attention

The govt targeted this Muslim family, hit dude w/ these goofy charges, & detained him for months before trial

It's frightening how quickly people were willing to give Joe Rogan kudos for criticizing Trump on ICE rounding up and disappearing people without due process.

He's always been a conspiracy-pedaling bigot. That's his wheelhouse. Between this and his racism, Spotify know they're platforming hatred.

Small issue with Rogan's lies is the vast majority of school shootings are done by white christian men. Rogan was never a bright man to begin with and after years of steroid abuse his brain is as shriveled as much as his testicles.

Rogan baselessly asserted that the majority of school shootings are trans shooters.

This is going out to millions of people.

But WM keep insisting that Rogan has on “all viewpoints” (no feminists of color) and doesn’t ask smart questions because he just wants to hear what his guests have to say (unless they land on one of his personal bugbears) 😒

i once watched, from just a few feet away, Steve-O break a light bulb and swallow the glass and he's still smarter than Rogan which is really just saying a lot

Mullin next to the words "the only true native american in the senate"

Markwayne Mullin will undoubtedly be dubbed "the first Native American to lead the Department of Homeland Security." As a friend wrote to me, "Wow, there's the Overseer Class and then there's putting a Cherokee citizen in charge of forced removal"

a lesson to be taken from the Proton email situation is that Swiss law isn’t a get out of jail free card and the Swiss government is a 5 eyes affiliate

Sis, you didn’t even need to explain.

He needs to be quiet and read a book. It’s 2026, and my 🇳🇬 people are still asking this question for engagement and clout. It’s enough. ✋🏿 Don’t answer them. There are many resources for them to read. If they can’t read, there are TV shows. Movies even.

He’s literally trying to use this war to *checks notes*...

Make us forget about the Epstein files, bait us into funding DHS without any guardrails on ICE’s lawless behavior...and now let Netanyahu off the hook.

No, no, and no.

Between the way she got fired, her terrible replacement, and the memories of her many scandals, there was a lot to laugh at about Noem’s ignominious “promotion” today.

Good riddance, ICE Barbie. See you at the Nuremberg hearings.

Emmanuel Damas died in ICE custody after ICE failed to treat a tooth issue that turned into pneumonia.

ICE didn't even keep his family updated.

The Trump admin's cruelty knows no bounds.

I'm pressing with Senator Markey and Rep. Pressley to hold ICE accountable.

The Public Fires Kristi Noem That's not the story you'll hear from Washington

Senior ICE official says he thinks Kristi Noem was fired because of the Minneapolis protests, a sentiment I heard from other DHS officials

Huffington Post, “The Hard Truths About Obama’s Deportation Priorities” Author: Elliott Young (February 27, 2017) Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly claimed the raids were "routine" and part of "targeted enforcement operations." An analysis by the TRAC of such ICE raids under Obama suggests that the recent nationwide raid represented a spike in arrests at workplaces and homes, although the arrest of people in communities had become routine under Obama. According to TRAC, ICE arrested and removed roughly 1250 people per week in 2016. Although, ICE picked up most of these people from jails and other law enforcement agencies, almost 300 per week were community arrests at workplaces or homes.

The Yale Review of International Studies, “Immigrant Family Detention: A Failed Experiment” Author: Elena Vazquez (January 31, 2016) On June 20, 2014, the Obama Administration announced a set of plans to tackle illegal immigration at the southern border. These plans, a reaction to the surge of immigration that summer from Central America, included the detention of immigration families. Reinstituting a practice that the US had all but abandoned in 2009, the Obama Administration sharply increased the capacity of detention centers for immigrant women and children. In one year, capacity for immigrant family detention in the US increased from 95 beds to 3,700. Since 2014, the policy of detaining immigrant families has received a great deal of criticism from human rights organizations as well as members of congress. A spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has stated that " Leader Pelosi believes it is long past time to end family detention," adding that "Family detention centers are inappropriate for jailing refugee children and mothers fleeing persecution and violence." In addition Rep. Steny Hoyer (Md.), the Democratic whip, has said in a statement, "The individuals being detained with their children have committed no crime under our laws and are seeking asylum. They ought to be treated with compassion." To the joy of such critics, [Alt text continues in next image]

Alt text continues: …treated with compassion." To the joy of such critics, On July 24, 2015, Judge Dolly M Gee of the Federal District Court for the Central District Court of California found that the family detention facilities do not meet the minimum requirements for housing children and ordered that the children be released from the facilities with the parent that accompanied them without unnecessary delay. The Obama Administration has pushed back against this decision, asking Judge Gee to reconsider. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has announced that it will begin releasing immigrant families and will decrease the amount of time that families stay in the facilities. While the facilities have started to release current detainees, new ones are taking their place and continue to be held for extended periods of time. On Thursday, August 13, a group of immigrants' rights lawyers stated in a filing to Judge Gee that detention facilities continue to provide woefully inadequate health treatment and that immigrants continue to stay in the facilities for lengthy periods of time. Despite the government's claim that its facilities are appropriate for housing children and that they are quickly moving families out of the facilities, the filing explains that officials at the detention centers regularly delay the screening and processing of asylum claims, hinder access to counsel, and set bonds too high for families to meet.

Alt text continues: By detaining individuals—particularly children—who have recently experienced traumatic situations such as gang or domestic violence, family detention can have the effect of worsening the trauma that these families have already suffered. This trauma can damage the mental and physical health of immigrants, even when they are only detained for a short period of time. Children detained at the Artesia detention center were reported as experiencing weight loss, gastro-intestinal problems, suicidal thoughts, and other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. [Footnote 2] In fact, multiple suicide attempts have been reported at family detention facilities, the most recent of which occurred early this summer by a teenage mother at the Karnes detention center. In a March 2015 report, Juan Mendez, the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment wrote that "Even very short periods of detention can undermine a child's psychological and physical well-being and compromise cognitive development."
