And the video usually shows the opposite: that the agents rammed into the victim. But there are no consequences for the lies. So there’s no reason to stop telling them.

Since the start of Trump’s second term, federal agents have detained at least 70 American children. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.

NEW from me: The National Association of Evangelicals (along with several other religious groups) are now joining the USCCB in condemning Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth’s plans to publicly execute Nidal Malik Hasan, also saying doing so promotes a “culture of death.” religionnews.com/2026/10/09/h...
Walter Kim, president of the National
Association of Evangelicals, told RNS that while he affirms the "need for justice" regarding Hasan's crime, "at the same time, a live-streamed execution by firing squad risks turning one of the state's most solemn responsibilities into a public spectacle, promoting a culture of death, rather than a culture that upholds the dignity of every human being."

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.

Trump’s attack on ICC is aimed at protecting the US, Israel and Russia from legal accountability. Meanwhile, US, Israeli and Russian disinformation and influence networks are undermining democracy & justice globally, from South America to Europe, Mexico, Canada, and beyond.
A political collage juxtaposing portrait photos of three prominent world leaders with scenes of war devastation and mass graves.
The top half of the image features headshots of three political figures, each wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and red tie:
• Vladimir Putin (President of Russia) on the left, looking slightly away from the camera.
• Benjamin Netanyahu (Prime Minister of Israel) in the center, looking directly forward with a slight smirk.
• Donald Trump (President of the United States) on the right, smiling with an American flag in the background.
Flanking and separating these portraits are small, narrow photos depicting the toll of armed conflict, including heavily bombed buildings, concrete rubble, and distressed civilians holding children.
The bottom half of the image consists of three larger, high-angle and aerial photographs showing the aftermath of casualties:
• On the left, an aerial view of an open field filled with numerous uniform rows of blue or grey tarps or objects.
• In the center, a sandy ground where a group of people stands over a row of bodies wrapped in white burial shrouds.
• On the right, an aerial view of a massive, densely arranged trench or cemetery packed with long rows of graves and crowds of people gathered at the site.
