I'm from Trinidad & Tobago. I can't tell you how many horrible things have been going on here since we elected a Trump friendly government in Apr via low voter turnout, as happened in the US.

But today, after having us under a State of Emergency for months, they've called out all armed forces. 1/3

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

That says a lot

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Thomas Jefferson,,the founder of UVA professed “hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." The federal “compact” is a form of tyranny. Do the right thing, UVA.

The reality of Kavanaugh stops: American citizens dragged, tackled, beaten, tased, and shot by immigration agents. Citizens held in the rain while in their underwear. A pregnant citizen's door blown off while Kristi Noem watched. Important story by @nicolefoy.bsky.social of @propublica.org

Hold on. 8 years, but she is 22?!

Holy Crap!. This is amazing! Newsom certainly has a great social media game.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah. It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.” “D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

This is exactly right, the owner basically facilitated a mass eviction through ICE

Right, so listen. If Dolly, ya know, on top of everything else?

I won’t be okay.

The 2-XL I had used 8-track tapes. My favorite one took you back into history to talk to famous people and another one that had nothing but groan-worthy jokes.

Truly Kafka-esque and imagine this situation multiplied by hundreds of thousands or millions placed in this uncertainty?

Rory McIlroy, a lifelong United fan, on what it’s meant for him to hear fans celebrate him with football chants at the Ryder Cup.

This is a clear constitutional violation. Could not be any clearer.

The Justice Department is basically Trump's personal law firm now From public demands to go after his political enemies to reportedly closing $50,000 bribery investigations into Tom Homan.

From public demands to go after his political enemies to reportedly closing $50,000 bribery investigations into Tom Homan, Trump is basically using the DOJ his own personal law firm.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Goebbles or Miller?

That final paragraph.

seems fair

aaaaaaand again

A wholesome and much needed TL cleanser.

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

The Feds are lying about the poor guy they killed in Chicago. They lied about him being a criminal. They lied about his traffic violations. They lied about him threatening their lives. And they lied about an agent getting hurt.
