They are clearly also trying to drown out the sound so Trump cannot be heard or recorded.

If any Australian journalists are interested in looking into this, Fraser Ellis MP and his family are in the Epstein files. I’m not alleging wrongdoing, but may be of interest to some, e.g. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

It’s truly crazy making. Apparently this is unremarkable or normal now (?!)

There are at least ten instances in the files, where separate girls/young women email Epstein to mention they are pregnant. Bekah Day (TikTok an other platforms) pulls up each email and talks you through it. It’s real. What happened to those children? Babies of children in some cases.

You need a lot of confidence to rock a hairstyle like this 😆

DHS: Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE. If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.

straight up Gestapo shit

I suspect it’s partly a status thing. He was too busy and important to put the time and effort into writing properly let alone formally.

And someone obv found out

Absolutely. And the answer to the question of ‘why they think it doesn’t matter’ weighs so heavily on the idea that feminism has made great gains and ‘not all men’ etc

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

‘importing a foreign labor class’ is the slimiest euphemism for the transatlantic slave trade i ever heard in my life

Fuck Noam Chomsky man

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Maine--also under an ICE surge--has an undocumented population of about 5,000 people & the nation's lowest rate of violent crime. Because they can't find "the worst of the worst," they're primarily detaining people w/ legal status & no criminal record. This isn't about immigration.

Although I don’t think the boomers will ever give up FB LOL

Since she passed I’ve keenly felt my absence from Instagram and FB for the first time, where the family have been sharing memories and comforting one another. We really need more alternatives to these billionaire-fascist-adjacent-owned platforms for our families and communities to gather online.

We are saying goodbye to my beloved Aunty today. She passed away last week after almost 20yrs with Parkinson’s and then Dementia. She was so kind and clever, and she will be missed dearly. I can’t make it to the funeral in person so I’ll be ‘attending’ the livestream, which feels a bit surreal.

Release them all. No borders, no prisons 🦋🖤

Analysis: Attempted bombing in Boorloo exposes Australia’s selective outrage on racism The attempted bombing at an Invasion Day rally in Boorloo/Perth must not be treated as an isolated incident.It is part of a longer, deeply entrenched pattern of racism and violence directed at First P...

The lack of media attention and comment from politicians etc has highlighted Australia's racism to Indigenous people.

We really should have word for a device designed to explode.

Amnesty International Australia condemns attack at Boorloo Invasion Day rally, calls on WA Police & govt to investigate the incident as a hate crime. Federal Govt must fully implement Australian Human Rights Commission’s anti-racism framework & expand RC into antisemitism to cover all racism ...

This should have all Australians up in arms. Even with 'updated definitions' of terrorism, the term is almost never applied to white violence. Which is bizarre considering White Australians were, and still are, the first 'terrorists' of this land.

"They're being so vague and the language could be describing either option."

That’s 121.3F and 42mph, folks.

I’ve been up writing a draft chapter (Anthro - work related) since 4am and I’m making progress but my mind keeps drifting off to dragon-land and I can’t wait to get back to the novel I’m reading (Priory of the Orange Tree prequel)

I’ve started rewatching the original (1983) He-man cartoon series with the kiddo. It’s so great. Camp and funny and v entertaining.

Exclusive: Hegseth approves request by leaders of Minneapolis immigration siege for use of military base In an email obtained by the Chronicle, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked for use of Fort Snelling to house federal immigration agents, weapons, vehicles and aircraft.

EXCLUSIVE: In a sign federal immigration efforts may not be ramping down, Pete Hegseth approved the CBP to position personnel, weapons, vehicles and aircraft at an Army Reserve base at Fort Snelling

Which came first, the announcement that Bovino was being pulled out, or the news that Hegseth sought approval to use the MN military base to further their attack on the city?
