FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnapβ€”a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

There's zero need to say good things about Dick Cheney just because he died.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Teen Vogue Is Folding Into Vogue.com According to CondΓ© Nast’s announcement, the outlet will keep its β€œunique editorial identity and mission.”

CondΓ© Nast finally achieved its dream of wrecking Teen Vogue and killing its politics section.

Journalism tip: If someone says drop the story, that’s a sign to keep reporting.

Back reporters who won’t flinch. Support our independent journalism ➜ propub.li/43MugoG

The polls are based on misinformation peddled by the likes off the WaPo and NYT and opportunistic bigoted politicians and pundits. Telling the truth to the electorate is less clickbaity but an educated populace would deliver different polling results.

He always looks like he's genuinely having fun with all this. Like, it's not performative, he's learning stuff and having new experiences and he's loving it.

the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

Which is true for trans kids too.

Several lawmakers said Thursday that the Pentagon relayed that it did not need to know the identities of those being targeted in the attacks, or if those killed had been trafficking drugs.

β€œWhat they told us is they have to show a connection to a designated terrorist organization or their affiliate, and as long as they can show that connection, they believe they are authorized to strike,” Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-California) said in an interview.

But such connections could be as much as β€œthree hops away” from a known drug trafficker, Jacobs told reporters after the briefing.

Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

Indeed

Even if it was a real and sincere apology I fully understand people she's harmed for years not being interested. But this? She stays all the way in the bin. Zero points for effort or revelation.

Andrew in line for six-figure payout and annual stipend from king, sources say The former prince remains under scrutiny as Buckingham Palace finalises plans for his future as a commoner

I'd feel somewhat better about all this if AMW had to find his own accommodation and pay for it (and security) himself
I'd feel much better about someone else funding his accommodation and security of he was in prison

And yet, she's not even really sorry - she still thinks "middle ground" and compromise is the best way. It is not. Her "compromises" are all about making trans people smaller, less human. No. There can be no compromise or middle ground on humanity.
