Israel used aerosol bombs in Gaza, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 6,332 degrees Fahrenheit. These bombs boil body fluid and turn tissue into ash, leaving no trace of their victims behind. Israel used these bombs to evaporate more than 2,800 Palestinians in Gaza.

They have now removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall Inn. Erasure. Just like the Nazis. gaycitynews.com/trump-rainbo...

It would be good if @bellingcat.com could verify this story. Really important. @eliothiggins.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/narativ/...

This is the worst thing I've ever read. A coded diary of one of Epstein's victims where she describes being "used as an incubator", giving birth and having the baby taken away from her. Don't click if you're not ready www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

1/3 It is terrifying that measles is spreading among children held in US concentration camps. This is not a policy debate — it is an immediate threat to children’s lives. Measles can cause encephalitis (brain swelling), brain damage, and respiratory failure in children.

No reforming this heinous agency. Abolish and prosecute.

I must not engage in discourse. Discourse is the vibe-killer. I will face the discourse. I will permit it to pass over me and around me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the discourse has gone there will be nothing. Only vibe will remain.

Here's the full post in the Star Tribune liveblog for posterity since it doesn't have a stable URL to link to:

The presence of children, instead of being a deterrent, is an accelerant for this sort of vicious violence. ICE et al are abusers and sadists; harming the most vulnerable is built into their behavior.

Anne Frank likely died in a typhus epidemic that spread through the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp History rhymes, it rhymes Close the camps, set fire to the prisons

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

The people of Minnesota are an inspiration. They’re out in the freezing cold protesting ICE brutality and protecting their communities. They're delivering groceries to their vulnerable neighbors and forming human chains around schools during pickups. We can’t leave them to do this work alone.

This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.

The rapidly increasing numbers of deaths in DHS custody is an enormous, stand-alone story in this moment of so many stories. In addition to that, however, I would like to note the horrifyingly deferential way this NBC News report presents information. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard. I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am. I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens. Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out. Remember this.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

Marsha P. Johnson in her Christmas tiara is all I want for Christmas. This Polaroid was taken in Randy Wicker's lighting store in 1988. Another treasure from the NY LGBT Community Center archives. 😍

The DOJ has now asserted that the “FBI has confirmed this alleged letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is FAKE.” The DOJ did NOT provide the results from the handwriting analysis previously ordered by the FBI to back up this assertion.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

People experiencing miscarriages in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)

Fuck this dude. Literally making excuses for murdering and dismembering a journalist in an embassy.

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

This is the first time there has been an effort to publish a dictionary of the Mississippi Choctaw language and dialect. The only dictionaries available in the past have been Oklahoma Choctaw. And the Trump administration terminated the grant. www.mississippifreepress.org/mississippi-...

An impressive list, girls, but I know we can do better

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district. #ice #chicago

My heart goes out to everyone enduring these tragic circumstances, and I sincerely hope that peace and justice will soon prevail across Sudan and among its resilient people.

A horrific mass murder is unfolding in Sudan, where no one can see it. The RSF are murdering civilians in El Fasher, having finally defeated the Sudanese army forces holding out in the city. The BBC has managed to speak to some who escaped www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7fC...

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD. Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned). When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

A new investigation has found that US officials knew that Israel deliberately killed Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022. The US covered up the truth to preserve its relationship with Israel, despite its killing of a US citizen.

"With at least 34 trenches measuring 2 kilometers long, the grave in the Dhumair desert is among the most extensive created during the Syrian civil war, Reuters has found. Witness accounts and the dimensions of the new site suggest that tens of thousands of people could be buried there."

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Sign of the times: @mjgault.bsky.social interviewed ABC's John Quiñones re: his podcast about Vanessa Guillén, a soldier who was murdered at Ft Hood in 2020. When Gault asked how Sec. Def. Pete Hegseth could roll back reforms made in response to Guillén's death, a PR person cut in to shut it down.

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
