It should alarm us that the civilian head of the military gathers together troops to give them a political speech in which he calls the free press treasonous. He should be removed from office for doing so.

Hegseth, for example, can get a separate murder indictment for each boat strike. We should also encourage other countries to charge them as well where justified, and be open to extradition.

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

Same story with a friend of mine, who is now actually quite famous. She dropped out after my university refused to discipline the two men who raped her, and made her sit in the same class with her in her specialized major. Her planned entire career path ended immediately.

DOJ has charged Wilber Garcés with felony assaulting, resisting, or impeding a federal officer, based on the allegation he struck an ICE officer with his sideview mirror when driving off after the initial traffic stop. He was then chased for 8 minutes, rammed, and then shot.
Image 1: the agent is standing in front of the driver’s side mirror, with the mirror at waist height.Image 2: the agent now has has hands on the car as it starts to move. The mirror appears to be very slightly in contact with his waist.Image 3: the agent has pulled his hips back and the mirror is no longer touching the agent.

The Trump White House official app is fraught with trackers. The White House app covertly collects excessive user data and shares it with third-party trackers while sidestepping federal security rules. For example, the app includes scripts to monitor a user's location several times per minute.

The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

Human targets were marked by the IDF by hacking into cell phone networks. One interviewee estimated 60-70k Gazans had been marked-clearly including many, many people beyond those considered Hamas fighters-and another said it did not distinguish between kids and adults. The interviewees said the targets were hit at night when they were home with their families, who they could hear through their phones before initiating strikes. "How could you bomb when you hear a crying baby inside?" Abraham asked one of them.
