California is banning masks for federal agents. Here’s why it could lose in court The Trump administration is suing to block a new California that would ban federal law enforcement officers from wearings masks on duty. It was shaped by concerns over masked immigration agents in Los Angeles.

Helping carry out Border Patrol and ICE’s immigration operations are an army of private contractors who have seen their fortunes soar as federal money has flowed into enforcement activities. truthout.org/articles/ami...

Half of Transgender, Gender Diverse Youth Report Suicidal Thoughts “In a study of 131,429 TGD individuals ages 25 and younger, 48.8% experienced suicidal ideation and 26.2% reported a suicide attempt”

🤣 You’re right! IMO THIS wins Most Mirthful Thought Of The Day: all the people at CBS and affiliated (and there must have been scads) who KNEW the segment would air elsewhere and get grabbed for US consumption in a matter of hours….AND DIDN’T TELL HER ABOUT IT 😝

sure would be terrible if a higher quality rip was posted somewhere archive.org/details/60mi...

every foreign affiliate gets an advanced delivery, to prevent an enemy from doing what we're attempting.

cbs news is covering up torture for the government

I uploaded the version @adastroworld.bsky.social shared with me (it’s a direct rip, not a cam version) to the only free speech video website in the world — Rumble. For obvious reasons, I had to disguise the video title, thumbnail, and description. rumble.com/v73cwku-we-a...

This just means she wants a newsroom where everyone agrees with her, making it a stand-in for the cancel culture debate writ large.

And thanks to Weiss spiking this segment, millions more are now making a point of watching it online. But this kind of blunder is par for the course with MAGA's WEI (White Entitled Incompetent) capos...

MASSIVE BREAKING: : We Just Unredacted the Epstein Files. No Joke! krassencast.com/p/breaking-w...

If the people redacting the document only inserted black shapes over the text, then the text is recoverable. If they knew how to use photoshop and did it properly, then its not. Now I ask you When was the last time the Chump administration did anything properly Oh lord let it be true.

I'm loving this new age of American liberty where the news is contraband that has to be smuggled across the border from Canada

Canada: not just the producer of the excellent gay hockey show and maple syrup

it's been removed. CBS is doing its best to prevent people from seeing it. massive embarrassing corporate effort to censor their own vital reporting. what a travesty.

Hard agree

ICE cages a record 68,400 migrants, surging past prior peaks, with non-criminals dominating cells despite vows to hunt only villains. Brutal hypocrisy spreads like invasive weeds choking fragile lives. #AbolishICE

I am running for president on the promise that ten lucky lottery winners will be able to fire chunks of the Trump Ballroom at the Trump Class Battleship until they sink it in the water next to a Trump golf course or Mar-a-Lago.

I hadn’t thought about 60 Minutes in forever, but then they started hiding the news, like a cool scavenger hunt.

and often encourages people who might have never watched it previously to check it out to see what you're trying to hide I vaguely remember some guy coining a phrase to explain this phenomenon

I was able to watch the 60 Minutes expose on CECOT by Sharyn Alfonsi using this link. Thank you @50501movement.bsky.social 🙏🏻 @jasonparis.bsky.social also has a link to download the video. 🙏🏻 The segment is about 14 minutes.

Incessant. 24/7.

Trump’s about to unveil a new “Golden Fleet” battleship program...a navy centerpiece named for himself...while ordinary Americans are reminded how Washington spends billions on symbols instead of solutions. He destroys everything he touches or has anything to do with.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s new bill, which would make pediatric transition care of any kind a federal felony, passed the House last week. @ryanlcooper.com thinks “a total ban on trans care for anyone is highly likely to be the next goal.” trib.al/EfjwP8R

I think I need to tell the pharmacy that they owe ME $$ when I pick up my next Rx since, apparently, the cost is 1400% lower. He’s SUCH a f*cking imbecile/moron/idiot.

Kind of hilarious that they killed the story, and now they won't even get the ratings because people are watching it elsewhere.

I had a really fascinating conversation at Mass yesterday with someone who was in town visiting family for the holidays. she’s a DOJ attorney in another large city on the civil side and she told me the criminal side is just emptied out. so many people quitting rather than take part in shit like this

The thing where Trump names everything after himself isn’t a funny little quirk but an incredibly reliable indicator that a leader is in fact a dictator. It doesn’t happen in any democratic society, no sane leader does it

worth watching. a couple points: Weiss says she spiked it because no quotes from admin. but of course the admin is quoted; we hear leavitt and trump talk about the prison. there aren't new quotes, but the admin has said a lot about this issue. it's in there. 1

When he’s gone, rename them all the John McCain.

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

This is of course completely impossible but the project here is not to build good ships but to briefly sate Trump’s narcissistic megalomania; it must be by end of term and no other timeline will work

this new version of capitalism is fun

Trump axes 30 Biden-appointed diplomats without successors, targeting Africa in a mass purge. This shadowy erosion, like fading echoes hollowing global trust, exposes his America First as brutal oppression of seasoned envoys. #USDiplomacy

There are two kinds of ships. Submarines and targets. Building battleships so we can fight WW1 again.

As a long time Kansas City, Missouri resident I am happy to let Kansas finally pay the taxes to supply a stadium for billionaires to make money off of. Will drop the sales taxes I have to pay.

We beat the Japanese because they sunk our battleships. Big heavy ships are not for the next war they are for Trumps ego.

I guess MAGA's concerns about women's bathrooms don't apply when they get the chance to do an illegal search and arrest. Where are the consequences for these rogue agents? Who's going to charge them with violating the rights of these women? Defund ICE and fire EVERYONE involved.

Watch it!

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

I watched the first part of that segment and it's bad y'all. Horrible. Those poor men. 😟😔

Creative incompetence, as outlined in CIA manuals, is a legitimate tactic against authoritarian rule

The fact that the entire Republican party protects the orange child rapist proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that their "Christian faith" is just an act to manipulate gullible Evangelical fanatics. If Republicans believed in a God, they'd be afraid they're going to hell for their depravity.
