Rep. Ilhan Omar @repilhan.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement:

“This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man. The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!" Agents didn't help him. And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.

Global Temperature Anomalies over the previous 365 days: * 93% over 1.3°C * 50% over 1.5°C * 8% over 1.7°C Back above 50% > 1.5°C, and climbing. Lots of 1.5°C markers will fall in the next few months: 4-year average, 1,000 days over 1.5°C, loess-30-year-trend #ClimateChange #GlobalBoiling
Graph showing percent of days (in the last 365 days) over various global warming milestones.
> X-Axis is the date 1st Jan 2000 until 1st October 2026.
> Y-Axis is the percentage of the preceding 365 days, which are above different global mean surface temperature (GMST) anomaly milestones.

Example
On 1st October 2026, the previous 365 days had:
* 100.0% days over 1.1°C
*  99.5% days over 1.2°C
*  92.9% days over 1.3°C
*  72.9% days over 1.4°C
*  50.1% days over 1.5°C
*  24.4% days over 1.6°C
*   7.7% days over 1.7°C
*   1.4% days over 1.8°C
*   0.0% days over 1.9°C

> The plot looks like a set of coloured waves, where each wave is a different GMST anomaly (0.2°C, 0.3°C, etc), and shows the temperatures increasing and decreasing over roughly 5 year periods, but overall they keep getting hotter over time.
> The Global Mean Surface Temperature Anomaly values, come from  Copernicus ERA5, and use the 1850-1900 "Pre-Industrial" baseline.

We’re at the “shipping container courts” stage of ICE’s mass expansion of the enforcement system.
Each detention unit would sit on asphalt or concrete behind an office's existing security fence, with a counter for processing people and a separate holding area fitted with a toilet and sink for detainees according to the draft work statement.
The agency also wants a 300-square-foot unit for interviewing people in custody and a 60-square-foot "Virtual Immigration Court Unit" for hearings run by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that operates the immigration courts.
Both must also be designed for their purpose before delivery.

For Americans who sanitize the bombing violence we and our allies have routinely done and pretend it's not really murder and terror maybe it has to do with the fact that we cannot imagine ourselves being bombarded? www.welcometohellworld.com/we-are-going...
I understand why there are supposed to be “rules of war” of course and certain things are “prohibited” – like the use of white phosphorus for example – and maybe I am being naive here but I never really got why exploding a building on top of human bodies is one of the acts of war where it’s just how it goes. It's considered basically fine.

Are the victims not being tortured in there while they die?

Rest in peace, Wendell Berry.
The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
