‘I Just Stood Up’: The Stunning Arrest Of Aliya Rahman At The State Of The Union Rahman, who was Rep. Ilhan Omar’s guest, suspects she was targeted after testifying to Congress about her brutal ICE detention in Minneapolis.

NEW, from me: I talked to Aliya Rahman, who was dragged out of Tuesday's State of the Union + arrested for... standing up.

Really.

Rahman, who is autistic and has disabilities, was a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar + was previously brutally detained by ICE in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/aliya-...

Tulsi Gabbard: "How does a war with Iran serve the best interest of the American people?… It would cost U.S. taxpayers trillions of dollars…Forget about having the resources that we need for things like healthcare, education, and affordable housing." (2019)

Here’s a radical idea for Congress: abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, then take that ICE/CBP BBB slush fund and rebuild our national security apparatus, joint terrorism task force, and alphabet agencies as independent entities. We’re going to need them again. Trump won’t sign it, but let’s write it.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas. "There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

NEWS Foreign-born voters stole by-election, Farage blasts, amid rising alarm over suspected poll fraud Nigel Farage has sensationally claimed that Reform UK was robbed of victory by foreign-born voters in last week's Manchester by-election.

Farage needs to fuck off with this.

The candidate that Reform stood had a long history of overtly racist views and comments, he’s a known misogynist and overall has the charisma of a soiled pair of knickers.

They are doing nothing more than causing further division.

Fuck off, the lot of them.

Judge blocks Trump admin from rescinding health grants to Democratic-led states The ruling temporarily blocks the Trump Administration from cutting $600 million in public health grants that had already been allocated to four Democratic-led states.

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.

Epstein files: Woman describes alleged 1980s abuse on Hilton Head The woman described memories of abuse by Epstein to the FBI in 2019, several decades after she was lured in by the disgraced financier for her babysitting services.

An independent investigation is needed for the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school massacre in Minab. The culprits, whether it's the US, Israel, or Iran, need to be brought to justice in an independent international court, and the truth must be protected.

Polymarket -- a playground for the Epstein class & the aspiring Epstein class

Beyond obscene

I am so pleased that Tommy Fugate is in charge of assuring there will be no terrorist retaliation.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

I think the last time the USA created regime change solely through bombing was in Cambodia, when a massive carpet bombing campaign so destabilized the country that the Khmer Rouge came to power and wiped out the Royal government—the American ally. Genocide followed.

The United States now makes decisions to put American soldiers in harm's way and go to war *not* based upon an imminent threat to our national security but b/c the Saudis or Israelis push us to.

Imagine if Biden or Obama did that.

They killed schoolchildren, Chuck. Your “imploring” isn’t going to solve shit. Resign and let someone willing to fight against fascism take over.

Just amazing the number of people who can’t seem to simultaneously keep two thoughts in their head at the same time:

(1) the Iranian theocratic regime is bad and would not be missed

(2) there is a real problem in a world where the President of the US can attack random countries on a whim.

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

Abolish ICE !

These are babies, I thought republicans were pro-life ?

Okay *cracks knuckles*. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of things I’m doing.

1. Suing DoJ for Epstein training videos
2. Suing DOGE for documents
4. FOIA request for DHS OHC memo authorizing warrantless home entry
5. FOIA for kids’ letters confiscated by ICE at Dilley
6. FOIA for USAID docs 1/

This is some next-level swiftboating

US and Israeli attacks on Iran are flagrantly unlawful acts of aggression. The reported intentional targeting of civilian political leaders is also a grave breach of IHL - a war crime. Obvious and largely uncontested, but it needs to be repeated far and wide - and condemned in no uncertain terms.

Reza Pahlavi champions the “Iran Prosperity Project” (IPP), a roadmap aimed at rebuilding the Iranian economy, which reportedly includes initiatives focused on technology platforms and crypto. blogs.timesofisrael.com/why-the-head...
