MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.
But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.
He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.
He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source Software, Researchers Argue
‘If the maintainers of small projects give up, who will produce the next Linux?’
Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make.

Screenshots from Fallout showing Lucy, along with the words “One side is murdering people, enslaving them, crucifying them,
and the other side is just vaguely problematic.”
yeah, so Fallout nailed it

WHY do we not support Trump?
How much time do you have, and how detailed a response do you want? 🤔
The list of FACTUAL reasons for the 'why' is incredibly lengthy. Parker is ONLY scratching the surface...

Maga incel alpha male centric freak: Women can't lead because their emotions are so uncontrollable.
Meanwhile the huge majority of murders and violent acts are carried out by men.
Deeply weird people.

Apathy is for pussies.
Empathy takes work. Walking in someone else's shoes builds strength and knowledge.
People who don't care are weak.

And from another angle, some kids are being told, “everyone’s different and that’s ok! Be you!” when what they really need to be told is more like “There are a lot of ways to be a person. Don’t be bully.”

Centrists always pave the way for what is happening in America. Read up on the history of Chile. In fact any country that ended up with fascism.

According to Israel Human Right organisation B'Tselem, end of September 2025, the Israel Prison Service (IPS) was holding 350 Palestinian minors in prison on what it defined “security” grounds & 110 Palestinian minors for being in Israel illegally.

White House posts digitally altered image of woman arrested after ICE protest
Guardian analysis shows images are the same, with Nekima Levy Armstrong looking composed in original but sobbing after alteration
They darkened her skin. They made her heavier. They made her look older. They made it look like she was crying when she was courageous.
I just wrote days ago that Trump hates no demographic in America more than Black women. How much more evidence does one need?
This is as openly racist as it gets.
