It’s not that these women didn’t deserve to get fired. It’s that Hegseth, RFK Jr, Lutnick, and Patel should have been yeeted first.

How I Slept Today Today I wore Spike as a hat. It’s very fashionable having a dog as a hat and I think in just a few years everyone Wil be wearing them.

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

The FCC gave $881 million back to the U.S. Treasury instead of using it to fund low-income broadband programs that could have assisted students and families, particularly in rural areas where voters helped to elect Trump.

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

The details here are horrific. They arrested her in Tennessee, jailed her for months, and eventually shipped her off to Fargo. She lost her home, her car and her dog. They eventually realized their mistake and put her out on the streets of Fargo on Christmas Eve. Could happen to any of us.

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

For almost four years, the city of Joplin fiercely guarded the identity of a SWAT sniper who shot Clesslynn Crawford in the head during a hostage standoff. For two of those years, the officer and Joplin have fought KCUR and The Midwest Newsroom in court to hide the officer’s name.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Please know that ICE in Minnesota isn’t a last month thing. It’s a now thing. And at Nick Universe?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

reported ICE presence at the Mall of America today "Seen near Log Chute ride at Nickelodeon Universe. Agent wearing normal clothes, with badge in the middle of chest. He stopped a woman, asked her for US ID and raised his voice."

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

"At one point [a detainee] said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome."

Conditions at ICE's largest detention facility — revealed in data from more than a hundred 911 calls, interviews and court filings — offer a disturbing portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutrition and emotional distress.

Absurd that Trump gets a pass for launching this war from MaraLago—If Biden went on a walk in the Rose Garden after launching this—most legacy media would’ve snarked off. Instead Trump can throw the Middle East into chaos in between treks to the buffet and pool deck and faces no repercussions.

I think the bigger security risk is the gestapo she runs that murders people for standing in the street and kidnaps children to put them in concentration camps. But sure, if the shoe thing gets her shitcanned, do what you gotta do.

Exclusive: A classified report found that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem created "significant" risks with a policy allowing passengers to keep their shoes on at airport security

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2
