Best part is that Tulsi Gabbard didn't even come forward and publicly oppose anything Trump is doing. Clips from the last time she reported on Iran's lack of nuclear capabilities went viral online and that's all it took

A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

Amazing to see the white genocide conspiracy theory become actual state policy. This is just about as bad as it gets in terms of what it means for just about every other minority group connected to the conspiracy theory: Black people, Jews, and immigrants especially.

Ultimately, wherever you are thinking of fleeing to is almost 100% likely to be having its own struggles with maintaining its democracy. Just keep that in mind: this struggle is so global that anywhere you go might not actually solve your problem. It would be more like buying yourself time.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

METAPHYSICS BASED MEDICINE.
Screenshot of a tweet from Benjamin Ryan (@benryanwriter) responding to a post by Florence Ashley. Benjamin Ryan writes: "If they’re wondering why a philosophy professor would have any place authoring an HHS report about pediatric gender medicine, it’s because they haven’t read it. This field of medicine is grounded in metaphysics. So it is only fitting that it should be analyzed by a philosopher."

Below is a post from Florence Ashley (@floralslashes.bsky.social) that says: "If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne. The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews. Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it."

Attached is a screenshot of a file open in NotePad with code metadata showing <rdf:li>Alex Byrne</rdf:li> under <dc:creator>. The filename is “gender-dysphoria-report-append”.

Yes! You literally had the top leadership of ICE there to *serve a warrant* on someone who was stapling fliers on a pole. I am extraordinarily curious what law they eventually allege the guy violated. Harassment? Threats? What crime could this even be? I am genuinely unsure.

In a move that raises very serious First Amendment issues, ICE executed a major splashy operation in California aiming to arrest a guy for posting fliers with names, pictures, and apparent phone numbers for ICE HSI agents. I am struggling to think what possible law posting that info could violate.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
NEW: Homeland Security Investigations & U.S. Secret Service served a criminal search warrant in an upscale Irvine neighborhood this morning, targeting the suspect they believe was responsible for posting fliers w/ the names, photos, phone numbers, & locations of ICE agents in SoCal in February. The target wasn’t home, and an arrest wasn’t made.

We are told he lives at home with his parents, and was previously arrested at UC Irvine during an on-campus Pro-Palestinian protest.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons was on scene for the operation, telling me he took it personally that someone would try to put a target on his agents in an effort to interfere with them and put them at risk. Says person responsible will be held accountable.

We will not be identifying the target unless an arrest is made.

PHOTOS: Underneath are four splashy media photos from the operation.Picture of the flier, which has photos of four people, along with their names and phone numbers for some of them (which Fox News redacted), which a message in Spanish saying that these individuals are working in Southern California to carry out immigration arrests, accusing them of terrorizing local communities and kidnapping residents, and saying many people have died while in jails, prisons, and detention centers.
