House Republicans, joined by four Democrats, voted Thursday to cut $141M in food and vegetable benefits in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, which help pregnant and postpartum women and children. trib.al/tpdeNXj

There is something truly obscene about a British-German project to use Namibian wind/solar resources to produce hydrogen/ammonia for export to make Germany energy independent, dredging up the site of the Herero and Nama genocide. Also illustrative of why colonialism always matters as analysis.

“ICE Agents came out and snatched a woman. They claimed she committed assault earlier, but activists are very skeptical—apparently this is this person’s first protest at Delaney.”

Wasn’t expecting that

New: we've obtained a DHS document outlining ICE's plan to give potentially more than a thousand local law enforcement agencies a facial recognition app that would query a database of hundreds of millions of images to verify someone’s immigration status www.404media.co/ices-plan-to...

One detainee in Arizona told the paper that a guard told him, “It’s part of my job. I have to make your life miserable so that you request your own deportation.”

we did not purposefully do hateful fucking shit in abu grahib and fallujah… we just thought night raids are cool

A technocratic, theocratic oligarchy using their immense wealth to control industry isn't communism either, my guy. There's actually another word for this.

This post is about as nonsensical as Trump’s own definition of communism. A government investing in private business to hold up billionaires is not seizing the means of production and not everything outside neoliberalism is communism.

In other words, it wasn't just the right and Republicans who liked what Vance was selling.

100% correct. When Vance first emerged on the NYT bestseller list, he was invited to speak at major universities as an Appalachia whisperer and Hillbilly Elegy was shilled for by HRC, Doris Kearns Goodwin, prominent historians with podcasts and many others who should have absolutely known better.

Both hinge upon background assumptions with broad hegemonic power among the readerships and decision makers, which find the NY Times appealing. The assumption that something is obviously dysfunctional with Black people, or calls to kill protesters against police violence, are fine if worded properly

Part of the problem is that they don’t consider the sentiments these people are expressing as actual intolerance. Vance's claim that people in Appalachia had similar cultural problems as Black people was seen as an enlightened and progressive perspective rather than a denigration of both communities

"In an interview ahead of the event, Greg Bovino cited Nazi Germany’s lead general, Erwin Rommel, as an inspirational figure. At the summit, Bovino said, quote, “If there is inspiration gained from the U.S. Border Patrol model and method, then fantastic.”"

I suspect him critiquing Bernie Sanders and the DNC was a bridge too far for them.

Here are the 117 Democrats who voted with Republicans against Rashida Tlaib's Lebanon war powers resolution. Thomas Massie was the one Republican to join 91 Democrats — who all bucked party leadership — in voting for it.

Wildlife advocates have long voiced fears that the razor wire installed earlier this year on the California-Mexico border could cause harm to the endangered sheep and other wildlife. An endangered sheep was found dead after getting entangled in the wire

My inland empire dialogue is going off. Sure let’s get the CIA backed Nazi surveillance company to hold all the firearm records. I’m sure this won’t be used in some of years of leaded paint related horrors

You’d think a UK-based contractor with licensing experience would be an excellent option if you’re going down the PPP route, rather than a non-UK-based contractor without licensing experience, but who am I to say whether this makes sense if you wanted an appropriate tender?

This Omni ICE flight has now made what is likely its final removal stop, to Vietnam. Migrants onboard were shackled for at least 33 hours.

People who want to learn more about the first wave of NJ's anti-ICE movement should also read the chapter about it in Unbuild Walls by @silkys13.bsky.social, but let's skip ahead a bit. Another result of the movement was NJ passed a state law banning private prisons...

I'm seeing people post and repost, "ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE." Y'all, it's about more than one thing.

This Omni ICE flight has made its next removal stop, to Laos. Migrants onboard have been shackled for at least 29 hours. And there will probably be another stop, to Vietnam.

I feel like this story should be getting far more attention. People in Albania are revolting over a luxury hotel project the Kushners are building on a private island in the Mediterranean, currently home to protected wildlife.

Democrats are reportedly “not happy” that Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib is pushing for a vote on a war powers resolution to limit U.S. support for Israel’s war on Lebanon. The resolution calls for President Donald Trump to end all U.S. participation in Israeli military operations in Lebanon.

so sick of democrats and centrists who help keep socialism a dirty word. we know you're capitalists, you neoliberal dickless dildos. we know. we reaaallly do. we super know you like the class system you pretend doesn't exist and want to keep it in place. we super know this.

Seriously, this would be like the SPD banging on about the dangers of the far left in 1937.

Border contractors are apparently attempting to hire Mexican workers to build the border walls in Big Bend, Texas. 😵‍💫🤡

I thought this recent @borderlessmag.bsky.social story was great because it showed the other end of this dynamic - the direct aid required to help immigrants who have won their release, through methods like habeas petitions, to return home. borderlessmag.org/2026/05/26/d...

Among the findings of my data reporting is an increase in ICE transferring people to another state within 24 hours of being booked into detention.
