Trump just posted a letter from Franklin Graham saying he doesn’t believe Trump would knowingly share an image depicting himself as Jesus, claiming Trump thought it was a doctor helping someone and that critics are just trying to make him look bad.

Huh, that's weird. Pablo Manríquez, of the tiny news outlet @migrantinsider.bsky.social, published an excellent story naming Nilufar Yasmin, the woman who was killed, with many details on what happened.

@pabloreports.bsky.social scooped all of these major outfits!

Canadian Firm With No ICE Experience Just Won $704 Million Arizona Warehouse Contract GardaWorld Federal Services is a new player in the U.S. migrant misery industry reshaping America's detention and deportation infrastructure.

Really solid reporting from @pabloreports.bsky.social for @migrantinsider.bsky.social — worth the read.

He builds on the GardaWorld x ICE Mega Prison thread I’ve been digging into, but the piece itself goes much deeper on how this contract actually works.

Thanks, Amy!
