For folks who don't know, JTF2 members are like Marines on steroids. Highly, highly trained and their work is highly secretive.

They're basically trained to kill people and keep secrets.

In a sane world where misogyny didn't exist, that would be a factor in favour of victims. But N O P E

Critics say Ottawa harmed progress on intimate partner violence by invoking national security in case of assault by elite soldier Victims’ rights advocates and legal experts say the Justice Department’s actions set a concerning precedent

This is also the second media covered case of a JTF2 abusive husband getting special treatment.

Meanwhile, if there is any special consideration that should be given to these cases, it's for the women who are married to men who are literally trained killers...

I have a million thoughts but I'll say this : Men's suffering is *always* treated as more important than the suffering of women.

Sexual assault survivors actually have the highest rates of PTSD in the world, but that never gives us pity or leeway.

Men on the other hand? Kid gloves.

Roses are red 

Daises are white 

It's about time 

That WORKERS UNITE!

We need reparations for ICE victims.

Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.

Dear community, I am calling on Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to sign on Pause Eviction, Safe Lives.
If this policy does not pass, please expect to see our vulnerable community members enter the court process.

Brian McGinnis, the marine who shouted "no one wants to die for Israel" before Tim Sheehy broke his arm, is running for senate Brian McGinnis • As a Marine, service has always been my mission. Now I'm running for NC Senate to continue serving the people of North Carolina. J@shatheonly

Well I mean sure yeah why not? Everyone knows who he is now.

As I have said repeatedly, the only move the anti-trans side has is pretending that they've found a scandal, then describe the way medicine (or medical research) works in every other field but trans care in breathless, scandalized tones.

Most people were getting vaccinated, most people agreed with and supported vaccines, the experts I saw on a regular schedule were like- the vaccine schedule is important and there for a reason.

That system has been steadily dismantled- and that dismantling has accelerated after Covid.

So the question we have to face is how do we rebuild that functioning trusted public health system?

Out of all the systems that MAGA has taken over and/or dismantled/destroyed, that is the one in the US they’ve destroyed the most of. I don’t think even the media ecosystem has been hit so hard.

I’ve spoken about me being anti-vaxx curious in the past and this is one of the things I was interested in skipping w kid was born. The way it was talked about (and I’m almost positive it was Dr Sears) made me think it was a no big deal smart thing to do.

This screenshot captures an official tweet from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), posted on March 11, 2026. The tweet includes a high-angle, wide-shot photograph of a massive, modern industrial warehouse complex surrounded by a large parking lot and green fields. The text of the tweet reads: "DHS and ICE are moving fast to secure the infrastructure needed for a safer America. Today we finalized the purchase of our 12th primary warehouse facility. This $38B investment in our new 'Reengineering Initiative' ensures we own our facilities outright—cutting out the middleman and speeding up removals. #SecureTheBorder #DHS #ICE" The image also shows a "DHS.gov" watermark in the corner and typical social media metrics, including thousands of retweets and likes.

By "innovative" "end-to-end operational hubs," it sounds like ICE are trying to CONCENTRATE their operations in a CAMP-like environment, no?

Portugal Coup Attempt: The Crisis After the Carnation Revolution On this day, 11 March 1975, there was an attempted far right coup in Portugal, known as the March 11 Intentona. This happened in the context of the revolutionary period that Portugal which began with the fall of the right-wing dictatorship on 25 April 1974.  After the resignation of president António Spínola in September 1974, a left-wing government took power headed by prime minister and Communist Party-sympathiser, Vasco Gonçalves. Seeking to reverse the growing radicalisation of the revolution, Spínola led an attempted military coup, which failed due to the massive popular support of the MFA (movement of the armed forces — a movement of soldiers and junior officers that overthrew the dictatorship) and forced him to flee to Francisco Franco's dictatorship in Spain. In the cars of the Spinolist officers, massive amounts of money and cheques were found, signed by Espirito Santo (bankers of BES) and António Champalimaud, the richest man in Portugal at the time, with a fortune of around 9 billion euro (in 2020 equivalent), half of the Portuguese GDP in 1974.  This counterrevolutionary threat, financed by the Portuguese capitalist class and supported by the Spanish and Brazilian military dictatorships, further spurred the revolution. Workplace and land takeovers accelerated under the slogan "land to those who work on it" and compelled Vasco Gonçalves, in cooperation with unions and the workers, to order the nationalisation of almost 70% of the Portuguese economy, including the financial empires of the Espirito Santo and Champalimaud families, who fled to Brazil where they also possessed vast wealth. During the attempted coup one soldier died and 15 people were injured during the bombing of a military garrison near the Lisbon airport.  Learn more about the Portuguese revolution in our podcast episodes 41-42.

remember when you're counting all of the Iranian civilians murdered by the US to add the thousands killed as a result of the mossad-CIA protest escalations and the hundreds of thousands killed by US sanctions

If I had voted for a party that lost to Trump twice, I would demand that the entire leadership be purged for their failures and I'd shut the fuck up and listen when communists propose alternatives, because deep down I'd know that I messed up so badly that Trump got two terms.

Trade, diplomacy, and border infrastructure constutute China tightening its "grip" over North Korea? What the hell kind of framing is this?

senchrismurphy • I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share: 1/5 senchrismurphy )2/Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal. But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material. 2/5 senchrismurphy ) 3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge. 3/5

senchrismurphy 4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production? They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war. 4/5 senchrismurphy ••• 5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgivable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

Senator Chris Murphy confirmed after attending a briefing on Iran that the government has no plan. The war goals do NOT include a regime change or destroying the nuclear weapons program. They attacked Iran for…vibes. The people who say it is to distract from the Epstein Files may have a point.

People shouldn’t have to use klarna for their bills and/or groceries.

Violence is defined by the World Health Organization in the WRVH as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, that either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation”.

Forced exposure to SARS-CoV-2 is violence.

If you’re speaking out against war but not wearing a mask in public, you’re missing the point.
