The ICE jail in Georgia will be the largest jail or prison in the US, by a substantial margin. It’s in a warehouse with no HVAC, medical, or sanitation facilities. ICE didn’t even contact the city, which says it doesn’t have enough electricity or sewage processing.

There is a special place in hell for OrbΓ‘n and Fico.

They are actively blocking the €90 billion EU financial aid package for Ukraine, going completely against their previous promises.

People are fighting for their survival while these two play political games

To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes.

The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.

How many countries will Trump bomb, how many will he try to destroy, in order to avoid accountability for his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and avoid the reality of his accelerating physical and mental decline?

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--


TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools - purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration - to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

The Trump administration's mass deportation dragnet has unleashed a new wave of government surveillance across the country.

In Minnesota, federal agents continue to surveil, track, and intimidate people for exercising our First Amendment rights.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspendedβ€”and so were my wife's.

Asked earlier today whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump said:

β€œI guess.”

β€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

He can’t even pretend to give a single fuck about human life. Truly a conscienceless sociopath.

Time series plot depicting predicted Nino 3.4 region ocean temperature anomalies from the latest (Mar 2026) ECMWF ensemble. It depicts an extremely rapid rise in such temperatures, from modest negative anomalies to strong positive anomalies, by mid-summer 2026--indicative of a transition from weak-moderate La Nina conditions to moderate-strong El Nino conditions over just a few months.

Whew.

All signs are increasingly pointing to a significant, if not strong to very strong, El NiΓ±o event. I'll have more to say in coming weeks & months, but for now I'll just say that this is increasingly likely to become a major regional-to-global climate driver in 2026-2027.

Here is your brave head of Homeland Security protecting the Capitol on J6, hiding behind the seats, while the men guard the door. While Mullin ran for his life, he went on to call that day "one of peaceful protest". He will make a fine head of Homeland Security for Private Bone Spurs.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
