In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

BREAKING: A federal judge says L.A.-based US attorney Bill ESSAYLI has been acting in the role unlawfully since July, declaring him disqualified from the position. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Mass Trauma and Authoritarian Capture A crucial strategic trap that authoritarians deliberately set is to create trauma that drives people toward individualized responses precisely when collective action is most needed.

Mass trauma hurts people & communities. When we retreat into isolation to cope with our shared trauma
that’s when authoritarians move in.
They feed on disconnection and sell control as safety.

I feel this is important reading for today.

Mohammed Ibrahim is a Florida-born American citizen — a teenage boy — who just turned 16 in an Israeli prison cell.

He’s still there. Trapped. Kidnapped since February. Denied basic medical care, contact with his family, and a trial.

🚨📝 Yesterday morning, ICE agents abducted British Muslim journalist and political commentator Sami Hamdi at SFO, apparently in response to his vocal criticism of the Israeli government during his ongoing speaking tour. Take action to demand his release.

Threat to US vaccines as CDC staff supporting key advisory panel laid off Critics say scientists ‘held hostage’ by RFK Jr as changes mean vaccine development and guidance in peril

NEW: The entire staff supporting ACIP was laid off, and most working groups haven't met in months.

That means the US may not make routine vaccine recommendations for more than half of children in 2026, and it could halt new vaccines in the pipeline. My latest:

President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia. It has become the biggest business in Columbia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLUMBIA. The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc. Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won't be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump

Donald Trump falsely smeared the President of Colombia (the US’ closest ally in Latin America) of being a drug dealer; Trump has been found to have murdered several people in the Caribbean reported by Colombia.

We demand the arrest and removal of Donald Trump for murder.

Colombia officially accuses the Trump regime of murder after it exposed that Trump and Hegseth ordered the murder of unarmed civilians in order to score political points for themselves. This was civilian murder and a war crime. We demand a criminal investigation and Trump’s arrest.

Democrats voted unanimously to confirm Marco Rubio.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

This is after Cuomo was flooded with pushback for the error in his earlier tweet.

Incredible.

The Guardian is reporting that since Israel and Hamas signed the ceasefire and full hostage exchange agreement, Israel has violated the ceasefire 47 times, killed 38 Palestinians, and wounded another 143 more.

Meanwhile Hamas has released all remaining hostages.

It Was Never About The Hostages.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Facts.

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. - Bolts No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

Alabama plans to execute Anthony Boyd next week with nitrogen gas for a 1993 murder.

No physical evidence linked Boyd to the crime.

He was convicted solely on the testimony of a co-defendant who avoided the death penalty by testifying against him.

Nicest thing I can say about Sliwa is he is a total character and I’d probably watch his podcast if he had one.

If we survive it’ll be this up and coming generation that saves us.

Chicago No Kings

Definitely more funny but about as believable as the texts from Charlie Kirk's alleged killer

Why the No Kings Protests Matter The Trump administration has made it clear that it fears mass, nonviolent protests more than anything else.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

A wall showing a collage of 56 assigned Pentagon reporters. They are now handing given up their accreditation as they have refused to sign up to the Pentagon’s new press policy which restricts a free press and attacks the First Amendment.

Decades of experience. And every single one now handing their press pass in.

Another step towards the authoritarian state.
