#GVerse #FuckICE detain U.S. citizen for "looking" Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground. Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse. The incident occurred at the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis. #DemsUnited

The United States is now engaging in pure piracy on the high seas. We've reached a whole new level of depraved criminality under the #Trump administration. Trump administration seizes oil tanker off Venezuela coast, US officials say - www.reuters.com/world/americ...

♥️ “ICE looked at that school, saw a community standing up for families, and decided it wasn’t worth it.”

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

i know this is styled as "trump says" but we really have to stop phrasing things this way. an executive order can't do that.

The term ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion life is returning to normal’ Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

"Our analysis shows that in the aftermath of extreme weather events, lower-income neighbourhoods are less likely to rebuild and do not return to their pre-disaster state, whereas higher-income areas rebuild and tend to improve...highlighting increasing disparities in their built environments."

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

To go after a family for no other reason than that their daughter sparked sympathy is appalling. Absolutely appalling. Beyond cruelty into outright sadism.

Even if you think, incorrectly, that this repulsive technology has any place in mainstream culture, maybe it gives you pause that the worst people in the world are hell bent on making you use it.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

THREAD: The NYT won't show you what's happening in Gaza. Hillary Clinton says you're too dumb to understand it. Netanyahu wants billionaires to control what you see. Obama's speechwriter thinks your brain is broken.

Is this a problem? Or is it a made-up issue like "people are on welfare/food stamps who don't need them" where even the STUDIES to find out the levels of fraud not even the means-testing infrastructure costs FAR MORE than what's lost of fraud? Also, the fuck do you care what other people do?

READ: Israel wants a 20-year, massively increased aid commitment from the U.S. because Trump just agreed to sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu's pitch: we need MORE of your $$ to defend ourselves from the weapons you're selling other people. The grift never stops. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/isra...

How about don't murder fishermen period.

Calvin was also a real jerk

I'm starting to think a lot of people who talk about fascism are talking out their ass. Which is bad, because fascism is kinda serious?

the real problem for the Democrats is that they’re committed only to help people in ways that leave nobody worse off (ie ways that impede nobody’s profits). so that basically leaves them with infrastructure and targeted tax breaks as the only policy levers.

If the evidence pointed the other way, it would not validate any claim of fascism, modern or otherwise. So I don't see how the lab leak theory is behind fascism at all.

No, the foundations of modern fascism did not appear in 2020. This is silly.

Speak for yourself

This is not a defense of Trump, but I don't think he is actually running anything. He's not writing his own posts, he's not making any decisions.

From the people who brought you "oh so it's racist to say that white people are better than black people?" comes "find me a single place in the law where it says not to commit murder."

Just read these paragraphs about the killing today in the Gaza Strip. They sum up the genocide very well. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Still nowhere near enough anesthetics are available in Gaza because Israel is deliberately choking off medical supplies in open violation of the ceasefire — forcing patients to undergo surgery without anesthesia. Author’s father says he entered the operating room with his brother, and “couldn't...

In recent days, Israel has dramatically escalated its violations of the ceasefire in both Gaza and Lebanon, which have been met with utter silence from the United States. Could this mean a return to the full-scale atrocities of the past two years? mondoweiss.net/2025/11/isra... #Palestine #Israel

The only serious leader at the the national level

ICYMI, this is great stuff. both better designed and more comprehensive than Biden's child tax credit boost www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/11/20/r...

If somebody with an anti-murder bumper sticker murdered your wife, you really find that "infinitely preferable" to some other loser doing it? Preferable sure, but is *infinitely* preferable to add a courtroom full of liberal shitheads saying "good enough" and demanding that you thank him?

WHOA. The FBI was/is spying on a Signal chat for a New York immigration court watch group, claiming they were “anarchist violent extremist actors.” Your reminder that the government is watching and don’t say anything in a big group chat you wouldn’t say on TV. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A Chinese immigrant named Chaofeng Ge died in ICE custody. He was found hanging with his hands and feet tied behind him in the “hog tie” position. Deaths within these camps continue to rise, with more people dying in the last nine months than in the entire previous four years. Abolish ICE

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say "When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Fifteen-year-old Miguel Vazquez was one of the people who took off running when federal agents arrived. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said. newrepublic.com/post/203321/...

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

The actual question is: Why didn't she defend the human rights and dignity of immigrants even a little bit? Why didn't she show spine, conviction, or leadership on a critical issue that her would-be voters cared passionately about? WHY DIDN'T SHE RUN *AGAINST* TRUMP, NOT *AS* TRUMP???

This piece makes it sound totally normal that the police gets to decide whether or not to "work with" Mamdani as mayor, and it continues, as nearly all the paper's coverage, to wield normative terms like "moderate" and left" in a prejudicial way. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/16/n...

“Starmer actually took the party to the center, which was the right longer-term choice.” oh yeah???

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

5/ By 3-to-1, these defectors said they'd have voted Harris if she pledged to withhold weapons to Israel. Dems ignored their own voters for a year of genocide protest. www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection... @mjplitnick.bsky.social is good on this. Check out his recent piece about Dems

4/ Gaza was decisive among defectors. IMEU/YouGov Jan 2025: 29% of Biden voters who didn't vote Harris cited "ending Israel's violence" as top issue, beating economy (24%). In AZ: 38%. In MI/WI: 32%.

3/ This wasn't persuasion - it was turnout collapse. Harris lost 7M votes vs Biden 2020. Trump gained only 2.8M. Nearly 19M Biden voters stayed home. That's the ballgame. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

1/ Hard data shows Dems lost on economics and Gaza, not "wokeness". It's important to cut through all the bs by using actual polling evidence.

we projected this a few months back: www.wired.com/story/depart...

⭕️ WHO Chief: “Over 16,500 people, including close to 4000 children, are still awaiting [medical] evacuation as Gaza’s damaged health facilities cannot provide the needed care.” “WHO is working to scale up medical evacuations.” www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

Great piece by @oriion.bsky.social and a great representation of what research suggests is more the norm than the exception. Detransitioners generally do not identify as cisgender even after detransition and often do not regret their transition.
