• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
CIVICUS, a monitor, says it has downgraded the U.S. civic space rating to “obstructed” and warns of a “rapid authoritarian shift” as the freedoms to protest, organize on campuses, and report independently face pressure at once.

The USPS finalized a postmark date change that could upend mail voting for rural voters living over 50 miles from a regional processing facility. The initiative is part of a series of controversial reforms launched by Trump’s first postmaster general. https://bit.ly/4qAM6UU

🚨BREAKING: Yale researchers assess RSF carried out systematic mass killings in El-Fasher and then destroyed the evidence, according to a new report by the Yale School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab, published Dec. 16. Based on satellite imagery, Yale HRL says it has high confidence that the Rapid Support Forces carried out widespread mass killings after seizing full control of El-Fasher, North Darfur on Oct. 26, 2025, targeting civilians attempting to flee and those sheltering in Daraja Oula, the city’s last major civilian refuge. Researchers identified at least 150 clusters - piles of human remains - visible between Oct. 26 and Nov. 1. By Nov. 28, 72% of those clusters had changed in size, with 38% no longer visible, consistent with a coordinated effort to bury, burn, or remove bodies. Yale also documented reddish discoloration consistent with blood, RSF-linked vehicle activity near dozens of sites, and signs of burning and disturbed earth. No evidence of civilian burial practices was found. The distribution points to four patterns: killings of civilians fleeing the city, door-to-door and execution-style killings in Daraja Oula, killings linked to detention or filtration sites, and killings at military installations. Yale concluded no alternative explanation accounts for the scale, timing, and consistency of the findings. 🎥 Executive Director Nathaniel Raymond @nattyray11 detailed the latest findings to Drop Site this morning.
Post See new posts Conversation Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at YSPH @HRL_YaleSPH 🚨 MAJOR REPORT🚨 RSF conducted widespread and systematic mass killing in El Fasher. @HRL_YaleSPH identifies 150 clusters of objects consistent with human remains throughout El Fasher and surrounding areas between 26 October - 1 November 2025. Since then, RSF has destroyed and concealed evidence of its widespread mass killings through burial, burning, and removal of human remains on a mass scale. #KeepEyesOnSudan 🛰️ @Vantortech @AirbusDS https://medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnood/publications/reports/
