one note for the "optics" amateur consultant crowd: "abolish ice" is actually the calibrated negotiating stalking horse because we actually cannot tolerate a "department of homeland security" in a multicultural secular democracy

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

They’re calling it the most divorced anyone has ever been

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

journalists never take the cops at their word 2026 challenge

If you’re out in Minneapolis and want one piece of kit that will allow you to outmaneuver even the most fit ICE goon, get some of these bad boys:

This dude will have a gofundme that hits a million bucks, a conservative talk show, and a pardon in the next 6 months.

Tricia McLaughlin, the mouthpiece of DHS, posted a private jet photo to her Instagram. It was recently revealed that her husband’s company won a subcontract on a non-competed $220M contract from DHS, in a deal described by experts as “corrupt” and “worthy of an investigation.”

Law enforcement officers have a habit of giving confusing or contradictory orders, and then shooting people when they try to comply. See the shooting of Daniel Shaver.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

it’s always the people you’d most expect

The only thing that can save CBS now is a softball interview with Alan Dershowitz and Noam Chomsky at the same time. America is clamoring for their side of the story

Almost every story Weiss greenlit at the Free Press lacked sufficient context. It's kinda their entire schtick.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

My god. From Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues, posted by the NYT Michael Grynbaum:

☎️Spoke with multiple people close to the canned 60 Minutes investigation into CECOT. One source tells me the piece did not need any additional reporting. Another tells me they were locked by last Thursday, but then Bari got involved. Staff have been warned not to speak with reporters.

This is so baseless and stupid, it makes my brain hurt. This substacker has nearly 50,000 subs. It’s so bleak out there.

🧵 of newly released images and videos of Epstein's Island from House Oversight Dems, sourced from the US Virgin Islands Department of Justice. First, we have four videos from the island, then various photos of rooms from inside his estate. Redacted speed dial and blackboard photos below.

interesting to see her leaning on the argument that pro-palestinian voices are unfamiliar with the relevant history, as if any amount of historical context could justify what's happening in palestine

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing

Months before Epstein was arrested a second time for his sexual abuse of minors he was obsessed with buying books about Trump, how elites hide their crimes, and several versions of Lolita. By @zeteo.com based on docs obtained by @ddosecrets.com zeteo.com/p/epstein-ki...

ever been so horny you invent new crimes against the profession of journalism?

guy who got passed over for AG having a normal one

This AP news story is incredible from front to back but I wanted to flag something super serious and wildly illegal that may have flown under the radar. It’s called parallel construction and it’s when intel is washed from spy agencies and used by local cops. apnews.com/article/immi... 1/

So far we have published over 100Gb of emails related to J Epstein. If you want to see more, hit the donate button for @ddosecrets.com donorbox.org/ddosecrets

More on the Epstein emails, @ddosecrets.com has a *new cache* of emails that it’s making available to reporters and researchers ddosecrets.com/article/epst...

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Looks like a slap on the wrist settlement for RealPage. So much for the New Right’s populist antitrust enforcement, Part MCXXVII www.wsj.com/business/jus...

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa. Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality. In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.

Rules that you can just steal Twitter jokes and post them here

This "multiple hop" theory was invented by the spy agencies for allowing themselves the ability to read your emails and IM history. Now the government is saying it gives them the legal authority to *kill you* if your neighbor's cousin is suspected of drug trafficking w/o evidence.

DHS posting creepy fash zoomer fancams of Border Patrol head Greg Bovino

Border Patrol procuring a new mobile surveillance system powered by AI and Starlink. "M2S2 will provide operators with high-resolution video and sensor data, supported by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities." Looks like it will be a pickup truck mounted surveillance tower.

Since I started working on this article the number of people kidnapped by ICE has *tripled* truthout.org/articles/ice...

Worth mentioning too: Border Patrol is *insanely* corrupt. Here is one of the many, many, many stories about them www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

A Jewish-American journalist was attacked by Israeli settlers nearly a week ago, and Senate Democrats Chuck Schumer (party leader) and Kirsten Gillibrand (DSCC leader), and Rep. Dan Goldman have apparently completely ignored him:

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

EXCLUSIVE: A cell-site simulator, commonly referred to as an IMSI-catcher or "Stingray," may have been used at the ICE facility in Portland. Analysis of cellular signals in the area showed phones receiving abnormal spikes in requests for their unique identifiers. san.com/cc/exclusive...

Holy Toledo

Israel is going to geofence "every major church in California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado and all Christian Colleges" and track churchgoers as they leave to target them with Pro-Israel ads. Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon's firm is doing their FARA compliance. LINK: open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

NEW: ICE purchased custom-made vans from a company called TechOps Specialty Vehicles (TOSV) that are equipped with fake cellphone towers designed to spy on phones. TOSV president said the company integrates the cell-site simulators into their vans, but does not manufacture the surveillance tool.

a huge sign of overconfidence is letting Miller talk on camera. a uniquely revolting presence in an administration of sentient red flags.

🔎NEW: ICE docs reveal plans to hire contractors to flag “potential criminal activity” from social media and commercial/gov databases. A pre-crime dragnet with no definitions and no warrants. Also includes associates/coworkers/neighbors/family members. open.substack.com/pub/jpaladin...

Folks, we are still fundraising for the family of the man I saw kidnapped by #ICE in #Chicago in broad daylight. He has been moved *again* even further from his family and they need help with legal fees and we are trying to raise his bond as well. donorbox.org/help-francis...
