Bellingcat analysis makes a strong case that a US tomahawk hit that girl's school in Iran, contrary to U.S. government claims

Higher gas prices are going to make it significantly more expensive for me to represent people because it'll cost so much more to drive to courthouses but all I can think about fueling my car is that Iranian women are being forced to BREATHE what I'm putting in my tank.

I also took up baking and cooking. On the plus side, it made sure I kept eating. On the negative side, I now have an emotional block around cooking and baking. So maybe pick a hobby you're okay with abandoning someday.

Highly recommend reading about DBT and its distress tolerance skills (and taking a class if you can). That's what got me through a period of relentless grief.

As best as I can tell comparing UB's summaries to others in NYS, it looks like UB's contracts are for speculative research instead of direct services. Not good! But fighting these awards may look different. Thank you for sharing this!

If I'm hearing it right, it sounds like these grants were free money from DHS?

DHS Contracts Explorer

The first visuals and an explorer for the ICE contract data by @micahflee.com:

--> micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/ <--

Look up contractors in your area. Protest. Divest. Defund ICE contractors.

Help me out here, I'm not fluent in the language of contracts or grants. It looks like the University at Buffalo (SUNY) has 2 contracts through their research foundation. Total award $5,058,060; Total Obligation $0. What does a $0 obligation mean?

Hey if your kid is taking an online class that uses Honorlock proctoring, please PLEASE complain to the school.

It accesses the student's video, mic, and files, requires a photo of the student and A FULL VIDEO SCAN OF THE STUDENT'S ROOM for their AI.

If the Epstein files teach you nothing else!

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by nameβ€”citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

Not to be earnest on main, but I think it’s really important to remember that even though all the horrible things are undeniably America, this is America, too

Please unfollow the altnps account. It's a do-nothing, disinfo slop mill that's trying to figure out how to Q-Anon the left for future profit, and that is not news.

Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
