ICE Moves Minneapolis Fleet to Williamsport Detention Warehouse As ICE builds out a detention infrastructure across the mid-Atlantic, equipment from its Minneapolis operation is heading to Maryland.

Roughly 100 ICE vehicles are on their way to a warehouse in Western Maryland, as signs mount of an impending operation here.

Oh btw ICE activity today at Whipple was fucking nuts. Large convoys of masked agents leaving every so often with a constant stream of single ICE vehicles in between.

This 'drawdown' was clearly just a brief hiatus to pacify liberals and get bourgeois media/politicians to completely lose interest.

Sharing this interview again, as protesters in Iran make clear that continued US led massacres will do nothing to improve the lives of ordinary people fighting on the ground.

During the U.S.-Israeli attack in Iran on Saturday, dozens of people, most of them likely children, were killed when a strike hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab and a high school in Tehran, according to Iranian health officials, state media and a human rights group. trib.al/y3MsQLC

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

Congressman Thomas Massie and Congressman Ro Khanna will move to force a Congressional vote to block President Trump’s strikes on Iran.

meanwhile, war rages on at home.

You can acknowledge that the Iranian regime is brutal and repressive and at the same time say that it is unconscionably evil to attack Iran with no reason or provocation or approval from Congress. The statements are not contradictory. Both can be true.

Yeah...bragging about their pinpoint accuracy, taking out the precise location of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei then 'accidentally' blasting a school full of little children doesnt seem to make sense.

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

The She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything The rhetoric and logic of the abuse of power operates similarly at all scales, which is why I've found feminism such useful equipment for understanding authoritarians in public and political life. Bec...

I wish this didn't seem so relevant so often: "In mainstream discourse, it's become standard to blame the excesses of the right on liberals, the left, feminists.... It's a way that the right is granted masculine prerogatives and the left feminine responsibilities for the right's behavior."

Such a perfect example of Pundit Brain at work: Harper says he always knew Trump was lying about being the peace candidate — but still turned that into criticism of Harris.

Trump has no strategy to help the Iranian people build a legitimate state—in fact, he’s dismantling tools that could have helped promote civic engagement and build a united opposition in Iran, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/k99IcIzV

From Schumer, not a word. From AIPAC Shakur, not a word. From Kamala Harris, thankfully, a statement.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

YouTube video by Seth Abramson Hounds, “Third Time’s the Charm”

This Hounds song about Trump and Iran went viral 8 months ago and should go viral again, as it's equally applicable now. This is a war of choice that never should've happened. The 2015 Iran nuclear deal was working when Trump unilaterally axed it in 2018.

On the one hand, the presidency is a fundamentally broken institution.

On the other hand, Congress is a fundamentally broken institution.

On the third hand, the Supreme Court is a fundamentally broken institution.

The American people are sick and tired of endless wars built on false promises and paid for with innocent lives.

Congress must immediately pass Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Person in the march holding up a sign reading "IT'S A GOOD THING CONGRESS ISN'T ALIVE TO SEE THIS." Big crowd stretching behind them.

I went to the protest by myself and I was talking to a few people around me. One man said: 'I sincerely hope that China doesn't start bombing Los Angeles to free us from our fascist regime.' - Everyone was extremely solemn at that comment.

Historically, these are TERRIBLE polling numbers for day 1 of a major US use of force, particularly against a well known and disliked adversary. Usually it only goes down from the start

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

Announcement of another death in an ICE concentration camp.

Another person has died in ICE custody. A person with health problems held for a year WITHOUT CARE.

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Robin D. G. Kelley: It's Not Enough to Abolish ICE — We Have to Abolish the Police "What's happening now has happened before," Kelley said, underscoring the anti-Blackness foundational to US fascism.

"Anti-Blackness is foundational to U.S. fascism."

"It's not enough to 'abolish ICE'; we have to abolish the police force."

"We need to be abolition communist feminists. We are not only demolishers of worlds, we are builders."

This hadn’t gone exactly how they’d like. In December, Bloomberg reported recently, “a senior US defense official posed a hypothetical scenario” to Amodei: What if a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile were hurtling towards the US with only 90 seconds to spare, and Anthropic’s AI were the only way to trigger a missile response to save the country, but the company’s safeguards wouldn’t allow it, the senior official mused in a December phone call. “Call me,” was how Pentagon officials interpreted Amodei’s answer, according to another senior defense official briefed on the discussion, who described being astounded by the billionaire’s response. LOL. Our beautiful generals have many medals and some even have battlefield experience, but I can say with some confidence that they have never engaged with a Rationalist online and are deeply unprepared for what it means to pick a fight with one.

[Dario Amodei Bane voice] “Oh, you think stupid elaborate hypotheticals are your ally. But you merely adopted elaborate and weirdly specific hypothetical scenarios; I was born in them, molded by them. I didn’t see a normal argument until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!”

one of the funniest things to keep coming out of the anthropic reporting is that the pentagon was trying to convince amodei by proposing elaborate hypothetical scenarios. buddy do you think an EFFECTIVE ALTRUIST has never considered a bizarrely specific and elaborate hypothetical scenario??

Remember that “Kamala’s for they and them, Trump is for you” ad? Yeah, It was never about pronouns with these fascists. It was only ever about erasure and extermination. Meanwhile Trump’s only in it for himself and the billionaires who bought his presidency.
