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.
Why these people can’t just put on a kigu and watch cartoons is beyond me
Truly, a terrifying predator worthy of the title
Aren’t all kitns murder kitns?
These are the kind of people who make me justifiably bigoted against Christians.
Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

Wolfenstein was pretty good, but that’s an exception, and it’s good because it’s a game and you get to reduce a lot of Nazis to bloody paste.
Agreed. I think LLMs are how AI will speak, not the whole package. Trust humanity to invent a mouth before the rest of the owl and then mistake it for the whole fucking owl.
"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict." Graduation Exercises at the United States Military Academy, 6/3/47 "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war. Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war." Remarks at Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 10/19/50 [DDE's Pre-Presidential Papers, Principal File, Box
Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.
President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:
“In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”
Last year, at least 32 people died in ICE custody — the most in 2 decades. Reports show at least 9 have died already this year. How many more before Republicans act?
Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & SNAP to give this lawless agency an extra $75 BILLION.
Not one more dime.
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
Prey is /really/ good.
They fired everyone who did.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Sunny was held at O'Hare, then seemingly taken to Broadview, where CBP lied to Rep. Krishnamoorthi (saying she had been released at O'Hare) and to Cook County officials (saying she was never there). Meanwhile, she had been taken to Wisconsin. And we don't know where her non-citizen coworkers are.
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
Update: Sarah Afzul, the woman's sister, told me that Naqvi has been released from a detention facility in Wisconsin, where she was transferred overnight and they've been reunited with her
Afzul said her sister and her five coworkers were returning from Turkey after a work trip to India was canceled. She traveled to Bulgaria and Austria before flying back to Chicago on Thursday
CBP detained her for "irregular travel history," Afzul said.
Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison and the woman's sister, Sarah Afzul, said they were denied entry to the facility Friday afternoon
Afzul told me agents said her sister was not at the facility, though her phone's location indicates she is
BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon
At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me

Managed to slip this into our kids book!
We need to talk about Ruben Ray Martinez as much as we have and do talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
“In October 2025, both her SSI and Medicare benefits were halted, and she was told her immigration status was under review. Although Rakestraw was born in the U.S. and has never once traveled or lived outside the country, federal officials still raised questions about her legal status.”🤬
My best friend’s sister, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, her phone just got turned back on. She is a US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, they said she was not transferred to Broadview, and now she's in a detention facility in WI.
🚨 My best friend’s sis, who CBP has been telling us different stories all day about, phone just got turned back on. US citizen born in Evanston. They said she was never detained at O’Hare after telling us she was, said she was not transferred to Broadview, now she's in a detention facility in WI.😡
"While there are still very difficult days, I have begun to feel some improvement as I have gotten stronger physically and mentally," Hanne told Newsweek. She continued: "This experience has forced me to reconsider where I want to build my future. I entered the U.S. legally, paid tuition to attend college, paid taxes while working legally, and followed the rules. I understand that overstaying a visa may carry consequences. "However, I do not believe anyone deserves to nearly die in detention or suffer long-term physical, psychological, and financial harm as a result."
Her medical conditions were worsened by the treatment in warehouses that are not designed to care for the people she is processing. She is one of the "lucky" ones because she did not spend much time there and a court granted her legal status. But every detention is a life torn apart.
"At the time, this type of enforcement action had not yet been reported in San Diego, so I had no reason to believe this would happen to me," Hanne said. However, after attending a green card interview on the morning of November 17, Hanne and her husband were informed that ICE agents were outside and wanted to speak with her. Upon entering the room, they arrested Hanne, leaving her speechless and in "complete shock." Her husband started crying as Hanne was placed in handcuffs.
The couple followed a process that countless other couples had followed without incident until Trump II. The got advice from immigration lawyers as to the law, and turned up to their visa application interview where she was arrested. They followed the last as best they could.
There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
