John Horgan

If you are worried about a terrorist incident from a sleeper cell, you can rest easy knowing Kash Patel and Seb Gorka are on the job.

“Who ordered the BLT?” is not a proper SCIF question.

Non-US tv news currently has the most measured and informed context from regional experts and seasoned correspondents. BBC, Al Jazeera, France 24, etc.

Hello new followers. I’m John Horgan, a professor of psychology who studies terrorist behavior. Don’t believe anyone who says they know what is going to happen next. Nobody does. Believe the Trump administration least of all. The informed voices are out there. Seek them out.

Definitely grounds for conviction.

I checked one of my DOIs just now. Says "back shortly" (?)

Perpetually.

So a war is surely around the corner

For dismantling:

1) ICE
2) DHS
3) Ticketmaster

"To incentivize participation in the task force model, ICE is offering to pay for the annual salary and benefits of each of the local officers designated by police agencies to carry out immigration enforcement tasks, including overtime coverage of up to 25% of officers’ annual salary."

"The task force model had been discontinued for over a decade before being revived under the Trump administration last year. The Obama administration ended those partnerships in 2012, following a Department of Justice investigation that uncovered widespread racial profiling and other discrimination"

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

RIP Tom Noonan. Truly terrific actor.

On January 10, 2026, while driving back to work after getting lunch with his father and cousin, a car quickly passed O., sped up, then stopped in front of him. (Id. ¶ 3.) A few men in civilian clothes stepped out of the car and asked for his identification. (Id.) The men threatened O.—if he did not get out of the car, they would force him out. (Id.) O. exited the car and was told he was under arrest. (Id.) The men handcuffed him and did not allow him to bring his phone. (Id.) O. felt like he was being kidnapped. (Id.) The men detained O., his father, and his cousin, taking them all to Whipple. (Id. ¶ 4.) At Whipple, there was “food scattered on the floor, the floor was sticky with mud, and everything stuck to your shoes.” (Id. ¶ 5.) The space was so cramped that sometimes there was no space to sit on the floor. (Id.)

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Any time I think I can't possibly be more shocked and floored by the outrageous cruelty so proudly on display by this administration, I am quickly proven wrong.
