• The vehicle is registered to a man in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, who was originally from Lebanon, law enforcement sources told
CNN. Authorities are investigating reports that the man told people that he had family members who were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon in recent days, those officials said.

It is horrific what happened to this man’s family. But some Jewish American children worshipping at a synagogue in Michigan are not fucking responsible. This is another case of blaming all Jews for the actions of Israel. This is why we constantly beg you not to do that.

Not only did the US, per its own ‘intelligence,’ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE.

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external).

It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

An image of a New York Times Opinion Guest Essay titled "Medical Associations Trusted Belief Over Science on Youth Gender Care," published February 24, 2026.
The article is written by Jesse Singal. Below the headline is an illustration featuring a person in green medical scrubs with a stethoscope around their neck; the top half of their face is obscured by a large transgender pride flag (consisting of horizontal blue, pink, and white stripes). The bottom of the screenshot includes a "Listen to this article" player and a brief bio of the author.
Would you like me to help you draft a response or an analysis of the arguments presented in this essay?

Jesse Singal is back to spike the football on the backs of trans youth. Congrats man, you got care banned in most of the country, families are fleeing the country, and trans kids are killing themselves.

Happy now?

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Chicago’s newest snow plow name ‘Abolish ICE,’ Mayor Brandon Johnson says Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.

I am never going to get over the fact thar so many Americans died that corpses stacked up in nursing homes and hospital morgues, that refrigerator trucks had to be brought in for the overflow, and that the big takeaway from Important Pundits is there should have been *less* mitigation.

Tan colored square with red and brown text on top that reads “We need the NYC council to stabilize and properly fund NYC public libraries in the city budget” and then in smaller text below there is text that reads “send your council person a letter today!” With arrows pointing to a website located at “bit.ly/nyccouncil2026”

City Council will negotiate and approve this budget, and NYC PLAN is working to convince each and every member that our public libraries deserve more.

Join us in calling our council members to demand 0.5% funding for libraries & hold the mayor accountable to his word:

Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem ideal that we're going to have to create a network to smuggle drawings and letters our of our national network of punitive detention camps and keep them anonymous so that the authorities can't retaliate against children.

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.

They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

We're pediatricians. We see how ICE is harming children. | Opinion Liam Ramos is one of more than 1,700 children to have been put in family detention centers since 2025. We call for these centers to close.

A group of pediatricians wrote an op-ed detailing the traumatic, lasting effects kids in detention centers will endure:

This is really what I want people to appreciate. I get that it feels good to be like "well that person's a pedophile too!" But in many cases they weren't. They were just people who didn't think it was a big deal. That's terrible in its own particular way.

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.

Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

Peak white woman racism. Doing the most vile, racist shit, and then literally asking to talk to a supervisor because she felt judged when hearing her own words repeated back to her.

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.
