How does a country fulfill the duty to render aid to the shipwrecked without the inconvenience of survivors? Today, some of the work I've done with Airwars was published in a piece I co-authored with @nickturse.bsky.social of The Intercept @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2026/02/17/b...

“The Department of Homeland Security admitted to Congress this month that it deported dozens of unauthorized immigrants who are protected under U.S. law because they were brought as children to the United States, according to a letter made public Thursday.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

For the love of god, please learn to express disagreement on this app without talking like an absolute piece of shit who can’t understand that the person on the other end is a thinking, feeling human too

a motto for our times

I think of all the past generations who toiled and wept to give us, the present, such treasures. And how they are destroyed in the blink of an eye, by malignant fools, by the enemies of beauty, civilization, culture and life.

everyone loves smart missiles until they correctly parse the constitution and UCMJ and determine that they have a duty to obstruct an illegal war

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force. Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

idk guys i just think if your pathologically contrarian posting brain leads you to try and whitewash the pedophile sex trafficking cult you should have very bad things happen to you

My latest for @arstechnica.com explores what it means that we have 1.77 million year-old Homo erectus fossils in central China, and whether Homo erectus was really the first hominin to migrate that far. 🧪

NEW: Homeland Security officials are asking companies to help them combine all of their face and fingerprint systems together into one giant biometric platform. Buttttttt it's unclear how workable this really is since DHS uses a wide mishmash of proprietary algos.

From what? They just passed it off to consumers

As @brendannyhan.bsky.social says on repeat, what would you say if you saw it happening in another country? Source: x.com/HBRabinowitz...

Hear @benpassmore.bsky.social on history, Black liberation, anarchism, martial arts, myths, comics & his new book, “Black Arms To Hold You Up”. + an interview with anarchist & former Belarusian political prisoner Mikola Dziadok, conducted by Frequenz-A thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2025/12...

idk, feels like a teachable moment. free them tho.

This is, as we know, the problem with "better training and oversight." It is already a clear violation of DHS/ICE's use of force guidelines to immediately draw and point your firearm at an unarmed person. They know this, and they know the administration will defend their rule-breaking.

4 federal agents pull over an elderly US citizen for the suspected crime of being brown, break her car window, throw her to the ground, then drive off after they find her US Passport in her purse. The Salem Police, when called, say there’s nothing they can do. www.salemreporter.com/2026/01/31/u...

i met this guy on Saturday. he was engaged in the devious business of walking a kid who'd just been maced back to his apartment and washing out their eyes.

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

In October I brought 500 copies of my photobook back to Iraq and distributed them in Mosul. Filmmaker Savva Svet documented that journey and made this short film.

the disappeared of the Caravan include 16 detainees, among them many young people & several female journalists. the humanitarian situation in the city of Kobane & throughout the entire region of DAANES (Rojava) continues to worsen & military attacks by Islamist militias & Turkey continue.

they’re calling it Trump’s Softest Tone Yet

This UK Government is so spineless. Won’t condemn genocide. Won’t condemn US abduction of Venezuelan president. Supports pirate raids off the coast of Scotland. Starmer - the human rights lawyer - shows zero regard for human rights and international law. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is a big fkn deal.

Between Pam Bondi's ransom note to Tim Walz and the FBI raid in Fulton County yesterday, we are watching the entire federal law enforcement apparatus reorganize itself around the work of legitimizing Trump's demented stolen election conspiracy theories. Nasty, nasty work.

"In order to build tyranny, you have to open zones where the law doesn't apply... one zone like that is the border. The logic of what they've been doing with ICE is to take the border everywhere." www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuNB...

A fun fact I like to share with students is when Border Patrol was founded a century ago, there were more Border Patrol agents on the northern border than the southern border. Because during Prohibition, the US considered Canadian whisky to be our greatest border security threat.

Guys, why does @timothysnyder.bsky.social look so much like James Cameron?! 🤣

Toad stood on his head for a long time.

If you want pieces on Rojava, let me know. I’ve seen terrible reporting or non at all so far from U.S. outlets . Far too many rely on so called “experts” who are just paid propagandists without the language skills or contacts to cover kurdistan.
