Katy Naples-Mitchell, program director of the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management at Harvard Kennedy School, has reviewed Dankoff’s data and called it “unsurprising.” Naples-Mitchell spends time as a pro bono attorney at South Bay Jail, aka Suffolk House of Correction. She was conducting an unrelated legal visit on a recent Friday when a family walked in to pay bail for a family member, and were given a receipt by the clerk magistrate.

“Their loved one never came out. Because instead, ICE had been alerted by the jail that this person was releasable, and so immediately upon the bail having been paid— making the person released from state custody— ICE enacted their federal detainer, and took the person into federal custody,” she said. The family, she said, told her the woman who was detained had a green card with no active order of removal. “ICE enacted their federal detainer. Instead — they were disappeared behind the jail,” she said.

You can see the connection with Oz and RFK and tiny screw factory planners because they all see a minute percentage of human beings as worthy of the resources to live and everyone else better earn it or be eliminated and replaced by their machines. It’s not the tech it’s the monsters controlling it.

The Supreme Court handed Trump a big loss on his Tariff schemes. What you may not have seen about the case is it was Learning Resources v. Trump. Learning Resources is a family owned, independent, toy company out of Chicago…and they just delivered Trump his biggest loss to date. /1

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

This country is doomed.

A Fatal ICE Shooting Occurred in Texas Months Before Renee Good’s Killing

This case is insane:

ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*

The young man they killed had no criminal history.

All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.

We don't know officers' names.

We don't have footage.

Senior US health official Oz invited Epstein to Valentine's Day party, documents show Mehmet Oz sent the invite almost a decade after Epstein's first sex crime charges became public.

Dr. Oz emailed an invite to a Valentine's Day party in 2016 to Jeffrey Epstein.

Oz appears several more times in the Epstein files, including an email sent from an account under his name to Epstein on Jan. 1, 2016, that has the subject line "Dr oz." The body of the message is completely redacted.

JD Vance criticized an American-born Olympian who chose to represent China.
If he wanted to celebrate America, he could honor a Chinese dissident whose daughter won gold. He won't, b/c we are deporting refugees now, and Vance is just here for the immigrant-bashing.

It is pretty funny that two successive US administrations have sought to convince Saudi to normalize relations with Israel in exchange for an American subsidized civilian nuclear program and now Saudi will get it in exchange for nothing and also it won't prohibit the development of a nuclear bomb.

Sad. I remember when SWJ used to be an interesting place.

Here's the self-serving ICE account. Normal cops don't behave like this. In situations where roads are blocked and officers are directing traffic, drivers are often confused, annoyed, and impatient. It shouldn't end like this! newsweek.com/ice-agent-fa...

Back in March LAST YEAR, ICE shot and killed a US citizen teenager through his car window, and it never admitted its role. ICE claims it was assisting traffic control (!?!) when the driver didn't follow its instructions. Fake cops. How many other killings are they concealing?

It might have been the most common term in the Marine Corps circa 2006-14

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it.

Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.

DHS successfully—until now—covered up the murder of a third US citizen on Texas' Padre Island, the sort of thing that can only happen in GOP-ruled Texas. ICE agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, last year, but DHS covered up the whole incident, Newsweek reports.

Two very big things here: 1) since sanctioning of Rosneft and Lukoil, the largest exporter of Russian crude is an entity called "Redwood Global". It SO HAPPENS that they share an e-mail server with a group of Azeri traders who EU sanctions officials believe are pals with the chief exec of Rosneft.

The fact that he paid no consequences for this & never will is obscene.
