He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

This is @cnn.com'sChief White House Correspondent praising Donald Trump for being "accessible" & complaining about how Obama/Biden simply wouldn't cater to them enough. It is 2026 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

Brian Michael Dick, 36, a Border Patrol agent from Benson, AZ, was sentenced in January 2010 to just over five years in prison after being convicted of raping a fellow agent. At Dick's sentencing, his victim spoke about how his friends in the department made threatening and harassing calls to her.

"He has no known criminal record. "But for an entire year, he has remained imprisoned with no access to a lawyer, no contact with his family and no prospect of a trial before a judge... www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

“With all newspapers in Germany being told what to publish and how to write the news and editorials, it was inevitable that a deadly conformity would come over the nation’s press.” - William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p. 406

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Feels like every single Democratic official should be loudly pointing out that the president is a dementia-ravaged thug who needs to be impeached and removed from office, even if just to cover their own asses for when he inevitably tries to nuke the Oscar ceremony or whatever.

9/ CRISIS FOUR: Trump has no endgame. Iran and its proxies can create chaos indefinitely. So what’s next? A ground invasion?This would be Armageddon. Thousands of dead Americans. Declare false victory? Then the new Iranian hardliners in charge just rebuild what we destroyed.

7/ CRISIS THREE: A broader, regional war is breaking out as Iranian proxies in Lebanon hit Israel and those in Iraq target the U.S.. Israel is now threatening a massive ground invasion of Lebanon, which could become its own new crisis.

5/ CRISIS TWO: We can destroy Iran’s missiles but not all their drones, and war today is drone war. Iran can hit oil sites in the region indefinitely because they posses so many cheap, weaponized drones. And they are. They blew up a critical Oman oil depot two days ago.

3/ Right now, Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait. And a plan may not exist. The assets Iran uses to harass and attack tankers - thousands of small drones, speed boats and mines - cannot be eliminated. They are too numerous, too spread out and hidden.

2/ CRISIS ONE: Trump believed Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz. He was wrong. And now oil prices are spiking. If the Strait stays closed, a global recession will result. It actually may already be too late. Gas prices are the first to spike, but food prices are next.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

(The other reason to be upset: The same committee recommended America 250 quarters themed to abolitionism and suffrage. Trump's Treasury Secretary DID scrap those, because they're evil) www.cnbc.com/2025/12/11/t...

Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Former acting CISA Director Madhu Gottumukkala failed not one but *two* polygraph tests, according to a new letter from several House Democrats to the DHS and ODNI IGs requesting "a full and impartial investigation": walkinshaw.house.gov/uploadedfile...

The CISA's new director, hand-picked by Kristi Noem, asked to be "read in" to highly sensitive, compartmentalized intelligence shared with a select few people in the civilian agency by the NSA or CIA. It was so sensitive that his predecessor had never asked to see the raw intel. 1/

Michael McFaul: "It is a reflection of our current political environment that Trump has been able to take the United States into a war that few Americans wanted, that he never mentioned on the campaign trail, and that received neither congressional authorization, nor UN or NATO approval."

"We have been here for nine months,” wrote the 9-year-old. “Please get us out.” "I miss my bear," the 5-year-old said. In letters & drawings, the longest-held family at the Dilley ICE detention center describe it as "slowly killing us on the inside." www.texastribune.org/2026/03/11/e...

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

Step 1: Expand SCOTUS. Step 2: Weaponize Dobbs. "Oh, is Chadha long-standing precedent? That's cute, because in Dobbs, this Court embraced the idea that an old case isn't precedential if one of us really doesn't like it. And several of us really don't like it. So ... bye."

Five-byline alert: 🚨 “.. An ongoing military investigation has determined that the United States is responsible for a deadly Tomahawk missile strike on an Iranian elementary school, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the preliminary findings.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad: "The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Media coverage of this needs to start with informing people that the JCPOA existed, what it did, that it was working, & that Trump unilaterally destroyed it, & inform them that anything now is almost certain to fall short of that.

BREAKING (1/4): Tall Ships event planner has never met with City of Boston or DEP regarding closure of public spaces and Harborwalk for private use by VIPs during Parade of Sail — including Ch91 open space and Harborwalk. But privatization of these spaces is planned. DRAFT slides (all red is mine)

New: Immigrant rights advocates filed a lawsuit in Boston seeking to stop President ​Trump's administration from next week ending legal protections that allow nearly 1,100 Somalis to live and ‌work in the United States, after he derided them as "garbage." www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us. It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

1/The failure to investigate Renee Good’s death at all is ongoing scandal. The independent autopsy suggests that Renee Good was still alive after the first shot; it was the third shot that killed her, www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news....

FEDWATCH: Oil-shock inflation “prevents the Fed from responding to worsening employment conditions .. an adversely tightening policy which could strain credit and put at risk 1 to 2 million jobs created by private credit, according to the Fed’s own estimates.” 👀

This is some dark, sick shit. Our kids deserve a better country than this. We all deserve a better world than this. We have no choice but to defund and dismantle DHS and ICE, and prosecute every ghoul who brought us to this terrible place. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: Alabama is set to kill Sonny Burton on Thursday. Governor Kay Ivey must stop it. Sonny Burton did not kill anyone, but Alabama put him on death row and his execution is scheduled to be carried out this week — unless Ivey grants clemency or courts intervene. Tonight, at Law Dork:

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

ICE's terror did not start with Noem and won't end now that she is gone. The whole agency continues to act with impunity, attacking the press, and silencing dissent. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

Yes, I know I'm a broken record on this. But it is ~impossible to overstate the degree to which we are right here, right now, because no senior White House staff or Cabinet officials went to jail for the rest of their lives after either Iran-Contra or the entire GWB administration.
