At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement 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.

Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.

I think he should be sued for breach of contract.

He was voted in on one platform & has done a 180.

He promised his MAGAts no war, lower grocery, gas, and egg prices, along WITH unlimited racism.

The ONLY thing he has honored is the racism.

WTF type of logic is this man!

So if I understand we'll lift the sanctions on Russian oil

The same Russia helping Iran bomb American assets

Therefore the solution is to give Russia, , the sponsors of Iranian bombing more American money to help them bomb American assets

Bessent says the Trump admin may now lift sanctions on even more Russian oil to try and reduce oil prices during Trump’s war. This would provide a massive injection of cash to fund Putin’s war machine.

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

Here's proof that there are those who exist maintaining the belief that the 'The Apprentice,' is still some kind of warped reality, except in the modern version, people aren't fired, they're exterminated.

Trump team bashed Europe for a year. Now he wants support in war on Iran. European leaders are ramping up their response to the crisis spreading outside Iran but remain wary of a conflict that could have untold ramifications.

President Trump’s administration spent the past year dismissing Europeans as pathetic and irrelevant. Now, as he wages a war alongside Israel to force regime change in Iran, he wants Europe to cheer him on.

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 β€” 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.

Here's an update from the post I shared a few days back.

The 21 year old youngster who protesting peacefully & holding a speaker and was shot in the face by #ICE point blank has been permanently blinded in 1 eye!

Please share this story widely!

Hardly ideal, I know, but why can't a MN case be based on live witnesses alone? We all assume we need CIS -level evidence. But how would a case have been brought in 1880? If 5 citizens stand up and say, "I saw him shoot her/him." Can't that be the basis for a trial? (a state trial, not a fed)

Trump administration will not investigate the murders. They covered up and said actions justified. Case closed. As part of the cover up, they have prevented MN from having access to key evidence such as bullets used to murder… thereby impeding MN’s investigation and potential prosecution.

Am I missing something, or is there nothing being done to examine these murders? In a legitimate police organization the shooters would be placed on leave and a detailed analysis would take place. You can't tell me that the guy who put 5 bullets into a prone Pretti was operating within specs.
