From Chicago and the Twin Cities to Vermont, police departments play an essential role in the ICE abductions, violently suppressing resistance that would otherwise keep people safe from the clutches of the kidnappers.

ICE is the enemy of humanity. So are police.

You are the spouse of an U.S. soldier stationed in the Middle East. You hear rumors that the base your husband was stationed at was hit by a missile. You look for official communication from the White House, only to find memes for Operation Epic Fury.

"History Is Repeating Itself" The war that the United States and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran. An interview with a Lebanese activist

Lebanon: “History Is Repeating Itself”

The war that the US and Israel are waging in the Middle East is not solely directed at Iran.

Israeli airstrikes are pummeling Lebanon, driving nearly 700,000 people from their homes.

To understand the consequences, we reached out to @ayoub.bsky.social.

The radar installation in Qatar that was destroyed by Iran was a strategic level asset.

You're probably picturing a big radar dish. The AN/FPS-132 is more of a massive, multistory concrete building that looks like a cut pyramid. A major civil engineering project. There was ONE in the Middle East.

Trump Officials Split Over How Hard to Go on Mexican Cartels A Mexican delegation will meet in Washington on Thursday to finalize a security deal, as White House officials debate a strategy for fighting cartels and stemming the flow of drugs across the border.

Incredible timing. I spent all afternoon in Congress playing out a war game (table top exercise) of what would happen if Trump bombed Mexico with a Reaper drone. I was on Team Cartel (along with a former analyst from a 3-letter agency). I think we beat Team Trump & Team Sheinbaum pretty decisively.

It’s very important that people understand what is happening in the rest of the world.
Talk to coworkers and friends and family.
This is a war waged by insecure white Christian nationalists jacked full of questionable pre workout “supplements” and they are absolutely achieving their aim

Fascinating study that totally checks out considering what we know about behavioral economics.
The implications are frightening though considering AI tech is largely controlled by reactionary elite with their own political agendas
