Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Isn’t it nearly always true? Humans live by the constructs & myths they have fabricated about the world. Right up to the point these are personally inconvenient.

Trump is bending over for his Russian masters again.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

There’s more evidence that Donald Trump raped kids than there is that the 2020 election was stolen.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

Every accusation is a confession...

The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.

Had to doublecheck the date on this

UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight. How the hell did this happen? Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

One of many reasons I adore @bagleycartoons.bsky.social - how many US Political Cartoonists would ref That Mitchell and Webb Look's "Are we the baddies" sketch?

"I wanted to know what it’s like when the government—one’s own government—says you can live and work here legally, before betraying you at a green card appointment and plucking you unceremoniously from your family, job, and life. So I spoke to Maria."

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

The incredibly broad wording of Trump's pardon of January 6 insurrectionists mean that they were pardoned of ALL crimes, not just those committed on Jan 6. Dozens have now gone on to commit new crimes, including child sexual assault, rape, breaking and entering, and vehicular homicide. (1/2)

Again. This matters.

When economists say the president can't really do much to change prices, what they mean is he can't do much to *lower* prices.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show. Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground: “We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

No paywall

Team Daryl Hannah all the way. (Leiam o ensaio no NY Times, ficam a saber tudo o que há para saber).

Today in Trump foreign policy: Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops? Trump: That’s a stupid question. I’m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf. Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him. Among the questions: “how do you have this vehicle,” according to him.

From an international perspective, America is a rogue state now, right? America doesn't respect international law, doesn't honor treaties, is murdering civilians all over the world without care or consequence. At what point does the rest of the world say ENOUGH?
