Mohammed had a work visa. They still sent him to fucking Guantanamo

In a phone call from Mogadishu, one of the Somalis who was sent to Guantanamo Bay before deportation said the ICE agents guarding the prison told him they would bring all of the Somalis they arrest to Gitmo.

In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay. “Nobody tell us that we’re going to Guantanamo Bay,” Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. “Just like kidnapping.”

I talked to Sakariye Abdi Mohamed, a Somali asylum seeker who was arrested at work, while he was imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay. I called him again once he was deported to Mogadishu. Here's what he had to say.

No one knows what a documentary is.

STAT@statnews.com

“'You Can See Everything' is a hilarious, thrilling, fascinating, beautiful piece of art. What it certainly is not is a documentary, and it’s dangerous to pretend that it is,” writes Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz. https://bit.ly/4Bk2nDJ

statnews.comI was a Theranos whistleblower. In ‘You Can See Everything,’ Elizabeth Holmes is still lyingA more accurate name would be “You Can See Everything That We Chose To Point The Camera At,”Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz writes.

Either an animation of a hand in a black sleeve appeared on my screen and pointed at a typo on a tweet I was writing on my iPhone, or I just had some kind of a stroke.

I’m seeking an independent investigation into why neither of my phones vibrate aggressively enough to hear them ring when they’re on any hard surface.

Seems like ChatGPT encourages people to contact journalists to solve their personal tech problems: „Last night, someone emailed me (…) asking for an “independent investigation” into why their Verizon cell phone service wasn’t working on their iPhone.“ #aislog www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

It's always interesting who I get criticism from when I have talked about drinking in gonzo writing I have done, especially since it's been "I drank bc I was with this super racist guy who made me uncomfortable, and then I went home" and "I am at this awful event hungover, god help me."

Grant Cardone, who is one of the judges on this game show, recently told Rhein Amacher, "thanks for breaking this story. Whether it’s true or not, people deserve to know" about Amacher's bs phone call "proving" James Talarico was in a mental hospital in Ohio.

We watched Trump make American small business owners beg for money on his game show so you didn't have to. "Million Dollar Pitch" was idiocracy in real time - here are the best (?) clips from this disaster of a show featuring an unlikely duo... Dr. Oz and Nicki Minaj.

People taking issue with the words “reduced to” is funny to me, since Bovino went from leading an army to giving a speech about how much he misses Border Patrol in a bike lane while dudes with foreign accents interrupt him to act as unwanted hype men.

It's Going Down@igd.bsky.social

Greg Bovino reduced to speaking alongside neo-Nazi and Hitler saluting loser Jake Lang. Check out this video from @jaredlholt.bsky.social and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social for more of a breakdown.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

Also being forced to use grocery delivery years ago made me realize the only thing worse than going to the grocery store was having to make a list in advance and then letting some rando pick out what I got.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention.

UPDATE: Sid Miller went on MSNOW today to say that he did not vote for Governor Greg Abbott, who he blasted for taking money from data centers. I am struggling to find the words to describe how wild this all is.

Robert Downen@robertdownen.bsky.social

‼️‼️ Outgoing Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller endorses Democrat Clayton Tucker over Nate Sheets, who he accuses of being a "snake" with a porn addiction. Miller was once a close Trump ally + among Texas's most rightwing GOPers but has been critical of Abbott, data centers and the hemp ban.

NAACP sued the DOJ to learn what counties are getting the DOJ poll watchers. No info yet, but they have a hearing tomorrow. A large part of why I picked Chicago is I assumed they'll be there, but now who knows where else they will be on election day.
