I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”

And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

'It's maddening': Anger and frustration amid record Black deaths in custody Australia has recorded the highest number of Indigenous deaths in custody since 1979. Experts say over-incarceration remains a national crisis and prisons are neglecting the physical and mental health...

“It's maddening to see the number of inquests that I attend, the number of funerals that families have to attend, and the fact that we are 30 years after the royal commission, and the situation is getting increasingly worse…”

Indigenous deaths in custody at a record level in Australia. So horrific.

At least 320 pro-Israel US lawmakers elected into office
YouTube video by TRT World At least 320 pro-Israel US lawmakers elected into office

Why is it ok that Israel runs the United States? Why does every politician need to go kiss the wall? Why do we have so many Israelis in our government? Why are you ok with zero opposition from either party? youtube.com/shorts/EzWQh...

People with no criminal records now make up the largest group in ICE detention.

They’re also holding children for longer than twenty days after ripping them away from their families.

They’re deporting people in persistent vegetative states.

They’re committing crimes against humanity.

MLK Warned Us of the Well-Intentioned Liberal Dr. King did not compromise on racial justice. Neither should we.

Is there supposed to be some plausible justification for this?

Is this what “defending Israel” looks like?

We can never unsee the cruelty and barbarity of this shit.

Accidental Shooting Statistics: A Review of Unintentional Firearm Deaths from 1979-2024 - Legal Reader Accidental shootings in the U.S. increased in 2020 and 2021, but is now declining. 2024 had the lowest number of accidental in the past decade.

I find the nearest exit. I refuse to even set foot in any state without common sense gun laws. Guns have one purpose and that’s bodily harm. I also have children thus a heightened awareness of risk. Guns are a redline. Source: Legal Reader share.google/ENWOKXJpYMWq...

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

You misunderstood. They are saying the two are the same. It’s the “Face Eating Leopard’s Party” analogy. The conservatives brag about eating faces and the liberals who are the “Anti Face Eating Party” give them a knife and fork. Their hands are always tied. The people want opposition.

You know, I'm 70 years old, and I've been thru hell, climbed close to heaven, and touched back down here on Earth, which had everything necessary for humans to thrive. Greed has destroyed much. Maybe it's too late to save it. But we need to try.

The release of the Epstein files is required by law to happen on December 19th.
On December 18th, we will "officially" be at war with Venezuela.

Oh I fully understand that. Asking why any immigrant family is here is absurd especially when the answer is US destabilization.

The “Portland Business Alliance” aka the “Portland Metro Chamber’s” entire goal is to scream how Portland is on fire while scoping up properties at extremely low prices. What did the Menashe’s get up to while paying for anti Portland rhetoric via “People for Portland “? Weird right?

It’s the “Leopards Eating Faces Party” analogy. The republicans are the face eaters who brag about how many faces they eat. The democrats are the “Anti-Face Eating Party” who provide a knife and fork for republicans. The people want opposition. There is no opposition when both parties are corrupt.

The true story of the secret program that brought Nazi scientists to the U.S. After World War II, Operation Paperclip quietly recruited German scientists to work on its most advanced weapons and space programs—including some who had been active in the Third Reich.

That’s a nice thought however only 177 individuals were tried for their crimes. There were 8.5 million Nazis in Germany. The US also implemented “Operation Paperclip” that imported Nazis. Source: National Geographic share.google/pbQTFRS2gFBR...
