Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

All of LGA TSA is still being operated by ICE.

A reminder today that the Nazis claimed that disability was fake, they said everybody could work, they demonised people who couldn't forcing children to calculate their 'cost'.

Then they murdered them all.

Genuinely flabbergasted (and intrigued) that Nate Silver has noticed this *now*, in that 'Twitter is downrating links in a way that makes it hostile if you want people to actually pay for your journalism' has been true for such a long time now. What has changed for him to notice?

Israel’s Latest Genocide Is Against the Shias of Lebanon. Why Is the World Silent? Lebanon’s Christians are being told by the Israeli military to get rid of any displaced Shias hiding in their homes or villages. Haven’t we seen this story before, and don’t we all know how it ends?

My latest:

Trump says he would ‘take the oil’ in Iran -- except that Americans want the war to end The president called Americans who don’t support the war “foolish.”

We Don’t Talk About Leonard: The Man Behind the Right’s Supreme Court Supermajority The inside story of how Leonard Leo built a machine that remade the American legal system — and what he plans to do next.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office.

But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

You know this was a war crime right? Like, Harris literally lost the election because she was unrepentant about the war crimes she'd committed and pledged to keep committing?

So they’re gonna be useless and violent towards people going about their day…

What else is new?

I KNEW something had changed. These new ICE cadets are TAUGHT how to violate the Constitution. A huge (& important) part of the coursework was removed from from training. It’s on purpose.

Usually, ICE agents are taught the US Constitution, laws, about firearms, etc.

“No one inside Gaza is calling this a ceasefire,” says Arwa Damon, former CNN correspondent and the founder of INARA, a nonprofit organization that supports children impacted by war.

Whether intentionally or with callous word choice, too many have begun relegating Palestine to the past tense.

ICE Uses Disguises and Fake Plates for Immigration Enforcement in Minnesota A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to inquiries about whether the men were federal immigration officers. As the sweeping imm...

There are a growing number of reports of agents impersonating construction workers, delivery drivers & anti-ICE activists, heightening fears in the state.

That's deceptive & unconstitutional, because they use trickery to get around warrant & consent protections.

Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And I fully understand the lessons we must learn Wes Streeting I knew him but not well, and worry now that he thrived in our political culture. It was not just failed vetting: there was a failure of moral seriousness

It’s practically a work of art that he thinks we’re all that stupid.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE. Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:

Reminder that these fucking politicians are occupying our government on behalf of the worst of humanity

New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

This of course, is what has been said from the beginning. Will this monster, Trump EVER face ANY accountability for his actions?

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Lapid acuses Netanyahu of falsifying security protocols to avoid Oct. 7 blame * * *

Rhymes with season.

“The Netanyahu document is a forgery of security protocols in an official document issued by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, in a way that must be intentional... This is much more serious a violation of the Official Secrets Law.”

She says ongoing Israeli restrictions on medical evacuation are essentially a death sentence for many people, including children. “They are either going to end up with permanent injury or they are going to die.”

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.
