Fox host says he supports America committing war crimes: "I don't care about Iranian cultural sites"

Hegseth has a long history of not only calling for war with Iran, but for thirsting over destroying cultural heritage sites.

He sees the US military as a flaming sword for Jesus…and now he’s in charge of it.

Sam Altman, like many tech oligarchs, has proven that he cares only about making more billions and exerting control over humanity without regard for human rights and civil liberties. They are soulless people who will destroy us if we let them.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

A 14-year-old girl described being zip-tied during Idaho raid, sparking fresh questions about ICE tactics A 14-year-old girl said she was "crying" and "struggling to breathe" when law enforcement officers herded her onto a racetrack with other detainees and zip-tied her hands.

The interview w/Idaho sheriff involved in the raid (who I covered OFTEN years ago) is striking. He disputes zip-tied kids until shown pic of 14YO girl (same pic that made FBI backtrack months ago)

Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable. There is no more important time for people like Don to be doing this work. Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Journalist Don Lemon is arrested after protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church.

“This is a preschool you stupid motherf*ckers!”

(From Somali Snaps)

We're supposed to have another week of these temps nationwide. January's electric bills are going to be CRAZY, y'all.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”

The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.
