GOP Megadonor Leonard Leo Is Bankrolling a Website on the Warpath Against Somalis The Maine Wire presents itself as a plucky upstart fighting for the common Mainer, but it’s fueled by powerful right-wing money men.

Amid the ICE invasion of Minnesota predicated on "Somali fraud," a right-wing news site aggressively deployed a similar playbook in Maine—with $$ from some of the GOP's biggest donors

Somali people are so vilified in Maine that bigots call all New Mainers from Africa "Somalis." Garbage like the Maine Wire and it's over-represented presence on Facebook in particular is directly fueling a ton of it. However, Somalis have been terribly discriminated against since the 90's.

Decades of evidence have shown that taking out kingpins does nothing to curb cartel activity and increases violence. But the idea of military power and might sounds good and appeals to macho politicians like Trump, but also many before him.

Trump Demanded El Mencho’s Head. Mexicans Are Paying the Price. The violence in Mexico is fueled by U.S. guns and money. Killing a cartel boss won’t change that — whether Trump knows it or not.

Amid pressure from the U.S., dozens of Mexican people died in the the violence that exploded on Sunday after Mexico killed one of the most infamous drug traffickers in history.

Trump's response: “Mexico must step up their effort on Cartels and Drugs!”

Kristi Noem Repeatedly Claimed ICE Deported a Cannibal. It Was “Completely Made Up.” Law enforcement sources told The Intercept that Noem’s tale about a cannibal was a fabrication.

According to Kristi Noem, ICE deported a "cannibal," a man so feral that he attempted to "eat himself" while on the deportation flight.

I am shocked — SHOCKED — to learn that this was a complete fabrication

I can tell you with absolute certainty that she is not

Gaby del Valle is one of the best reporters I know and the attacks against her on here are not only shocking in their violence and bigotry but also incredibly bad-faith and utterly without merit.

Please do not let Will’s tantrum over getting the attention he wanted distract you from the amazing Minneapolis coverage Gaby has been producing all month (all while also writing a book because she’s just that good)
