NEW: Partially unsealed court filings show that ICE has been putting photos of people observing their activities into a Palantir-built database as well as tracking and intimidating them. @regret.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social have the details:

ICE Has Been Dumping Protester Photos Into a Palantir Database
DHS agents not only tracked and intimidated people observing ICE activity in Maine, but stored information about them in a Palantir-built database, newly unsealed court filings say.

Please help if you can! Queen City Cat Lounge is an adoption center I visit frequently here in Vermont and their window was vandalized last night. Fortunately they had double glass for the cats' safety, but the broken outer window needs to be fixed ASAP. www.gofundme.com/f/repair-and...
Poster with a black and white screenshot of security footage showing a man peering into the front window of a cat adoption center. Text says "please help Queen City cat lounge recover. last night someone broke the window at Queen City cat lounge - an adoption center that has placed hundreds of cats in loving homes. the cats are all safe but the window needs to be replaced quickly!"

We don’t talk enough about how much of our days have become entangled in determining what’s real. What’s genuine. What’s human or what’s synthetic. What’s worth our time after having already spent it. It’s a grotesque skill we’ve all been forced to master, and a waste of energy none of us can spare.

I've said this before and will keep saying it: the reason so much journalism is shit is that it pays so little that, for the most part, only the independently wealthy can afford to do it Journalists are largely members of the upper class, and their work often reflects the biases that come with that
More paywalls. It's a shame that, in these dangerous times, independent writers on current events are monetizing our fear and outrage.

Never mind the inconvenience of having to have paid subscriptions to dozens of different writers. Exhausting.

Fyi the reason you're seeing Simeon Brown more is because Bishop and stanford are attached to the coup situation, Upston screwed up the Winter energy payment, Nicola's credibility is out the window, Penk is fired and Luxons polling has tanked. Thats the state of the National Party right now.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title above the comic reads, "The organs are a team."
The first panel shows a drawing of a stomach. The stomach says, "I digest food so it can become energy."
The second panel shows a drawing of a heart. The heart says, "I use energy to pump blood."
The third panel shows a drawing of a liver. The liver says, "I take that blood and filter it."
The fourth panel shows a drawing of a brain. The brain says, "I will actively sabotage all of you."

Cartoon. Title: “Absence” Charlie, a white duck, stands mournfully beside a pond on Sam’s vineyard in the Earnscleugh valley, in Central Otago. In the lower right it says, “Sam Neill, 1947-2026”

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.
