BREAKING: The Israeli military says it is dropping charges against five soldiers who were accused of sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee.

(stolen from u/Nanasweed on Reddit, but it sums my feelings up nicely) We all want the same things. Physical Safety. Financial Security. Love. Happiness. Some of us just want it for other people too...

We've gone from The Boy Who Cried Wolf to The "News" Station That Cried 'Honest Mistake'. As if anyone believes this on this side of the looking-glass, especially from the organization that helped lead the way to this madness. apnews.com/article/base...

"Unintended consequences" could be the phrase of the century with respect to American law and foreign policy.

Alright Texas! Early voting has officially started. It’s time to show this nation exactly what Texas is made of. Make a voting plan—get to the polls and make your voices heard.

Another weaksauce US media company censoring reality. I'm running out of TV to boycott, though I never watch it anyways @nbcnews.com on the list of co-conspirators www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Slow mo/stabilized view of the first shot. www.reddit.com/r/law/commen...

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

@governorwalz.mn.gov Activate the National Guard to be ICE monitors at the very least. This is going to escalate. It's by Miller's design. They're giddy over this right now.

There is now a video of the incident. It is predictably horrific and almost certainly fatal. www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Hi @apnews.com , do you have any coverage on the door-to-door warrantless raids in Minnesota?

Account of a US citizen detained by ICE, denied bathroom breaks, private lawyer consultation, tear gassed and hit with a paint ball after release.

I would believe Trump if he said in 15 minutes he could save me 15%.

The State Dept. painted humanitarian aid cuts as a necessary “disruption.” For the World Food Program, that disruption meant telling 300,000 refugees half of them would receive a meager portion of rice, lentils and oil. The rest would get nothing.

As a loyal firefox user, I will definitely find another browser if AI is required. I understand that it is currently and foreseeably optional, but I would highly prefer it to be something that be added or removed, not simply enabled or disabled.

NEW: A review of more than 100 Alabama court cases found some immigrants saw harsher punishments than citizens, even when they have fewer prior convictions. Defendants said they believe their citizenship status tipped the scales of justice against them. By @amyyurkanin.bsky.social

I'd like to announce the creation of the Grumpy Bear Peace Prize. Anyone who would like to apply for the prize can do so by responding to this post. Thank you for your consideration, and know that we will hold the prize winner(s) to the highest standards of peace.

I usually get "vicarious embarrassment" when people are publicly humiliated. Not in this case. Thank you, Trump admin, for showing me that my empathy reaches only so far.

I'm offering my services for a fee: I will come into your thread and argue with you, provide you with clever comebacks over DM's (or use those of your choosing) and I will eventually admit defeat.

Interesting take on making money from banning books. It's always about money.

Bummer, I actually like Chobani yogurt. But I'll find another company, I guess.

Kinda insane that this is the first I even heard of this guy... and the information backs this up. (Though this is outdated, as he was arrested over 2 years ago and -- more importantly -- convicted) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..." Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

In 2019, motor vehicle crashes cost America $340 billion. Approx 26% of these accidents were caused by speeding (a historic low), which amounts to about $88 billion. Would conservatives be as interested in being as hard on speeding as on illegal immigration? Both are civil infractions.

This is just sad

Translated: "I don't understand the difference in counting 150 million votes across thousands of disparate locations and individual local races. I also forgot that the Republicans won the 2024 election."

You've heard of Elf on a Shelf, but have you heard of...

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free: (Published 2019)

Tyranny doesn’t steal power all at once. It starves it, vote by vote, truth by truth, until silence feels normal. Today, we still have a voice. Use it before legitimate elections become a memory whispered about in the dark. #Vote

Just a thought - maybe we should be writing our (Republican) reps about this one: “We got everything done,” he added, “I said, ‘Put it all into one bill and if we get it done, we’re done for four years.’ We don’t need anything more from Congress.” Maybe their self-preservation will kick in.
