Deaf 6-year-old boy is deported to Colombia without his medical devices, attorney says A Hayward woman and her two young children were detained and deported to Colombia after they showed up earlier this week for an asylum appointment in San Francisco, her attorney said.

Another tragic example of how Trump’s indiscriminate immigration raids are targeting the most vulnerable among us, including the family of a deaf child seeking asylum.

The cruelty is astounding.

Will do all I can to try to reverse this. www.latimes.com/california/s...

A beige pottery with two handles and a narrow neck, decorated with intricate dark brown patterns depicting a stylized octopus. The vessel is displayed on a white pedestal in a museum setting.

We all need a timeline cleanse right now, so let's start the day with this lovely jug with an octopus motif, dating ca 1200-1100 BC.

On display at National Museum Copenhagen.

A lovely weekend to all of you!

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

BREAKING:

A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media — which oversees Voice of America — and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.

It would be only fair to the reader to say frankly in advance that the attitude of any person toward this story will be distinctly influenced by his theories of the Negro race. If he believes that the Negro in America and in general is an average and ordinary human being, who under given environment develops like other human beings, then he will read this story and judge it by the facts adduced. If, however, he regards the Negro as a distinctly inferior creation, who can never successfully take part in modern civilization and whose emancipation and enfranchisement were gestures against nature, then he will need something more than the sort of facts that I have set down. But this latter person, I am not trying to convince. I am simply pointing out these two points of view, so obvious to Americans, and then without further ado, I am assuming the truth of the first. In fine, I am going to tell this story as though Negroes were ordinary human beings, realizing that this attitude will from the first seriously curtail my audience. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS Atlanta, December, 1934

I'd forgotten how hard the preface to DuBois's "Black Reconstruction" (1934) went...and am saddened by how contemporary it still feels.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Thousands of sandhill cranes fly in and gather on a plain at sunset in front of a misty brown hill.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Do you get whats coming? #SolarHockeyStickOfHope

I suspect Hegseth/Miller think a silent majority will rally to zero-sum nationalism (tariffs), treating all immigrants as criminals, and a kill-first-think-later military posture (what Hegseth calls the “warrior ethic”). It's a big deal that this isn't happening. 6/

A country coming apart: US-Israel war pounds Iranian life The US-Israel war began over Tehran on Saturday and spread, city by city, into a sustained assault on civilian infrastructure, military sites, and daily life.

Ghana denounces 'war crime' at UN after Israeli strike injures three peacekeepers in southern Lebanon Ghana filed a protest with the United Nations on Saturday, a day after an attack in southern Lebanon that injured its peacekeepers, denouncing it as “a grave violation of international law...

Ghana has accused Israel of committing a war crime by bombing Ghanaian UN troops, injuring three of them.

Israel attacked UN forces in Lebanon. It’s nowhere near the first time either.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Almost 17% of Lebanon’s population have been displaced due to Israel’s unprecedented eviction orders - the country is facing a catastrophic mass exodus with thousands still on the streets

"We’ve mapped the scale of displacement in Lebanon due to Israeli bombing and forced evacuation"

"Around 1/4 of people in Lebanon are currently under Israeli evacuation orders. Jeremy Ristord, our head of mission, describes how 400,000 people, in an area the size of Manhattan, had one hour to flee. The resulting chaos means people are sleeping in cars, and are in need of water and essentials."

Kristi Noem Didn’t Give a Sh*t About ‘the Details’ Such as a woman who was here legally and helped the homeless—but was then deported anyway.

"Maria was working with a shelter program to house fifty unhoused families at one of the Motel 6 properties she managed, she told me." Now that she's been deported, they might be out of a home.

Lindsey Graham’s Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran Few others in the president’s ear argued for the attack as effectively as South Carolina’s senior senator.

If a US Senator wants the US to go to war against another country, he should introduce a war authorization and push for a vote in the US Congress.

Not subvert the Constitution to achieve that end.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”
