Jesus. Fucking. Christ. This kid wants to get out of detention in time for his school spelling bee. What the fuck are we doing.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

this is just open and abject corruption, but the way U.S. journalism frames it you'd not really understand that there's anything untoward

"West, 54, was a 28-year-old police officer ... when he was arrested and charged with the statutory rape of three girls, two aged 14 and one aged 16. West agreed to plead guilty to 16 lesser charges of taking indecent liberties with a child"

Cops are great. And Pedocon Theory remains undefeated.

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

this is wrong. Markets immediately responded to 24th January 2020 China lockdown news.
Commodity markets are HIGHLY attentive to anything in the world economy that disrupts demand & supply.
Equity markets did not as they thought pandemic would be contained to China & only freaked out in Feb-Mar 20

Americans need to ask themselves this one thing. If you were Vladimir Putin, and you wanted to gradually dismantle and destroy the United States of America, wouldn't you do exactly everything Donald Trump is doing? Good luck.

This is like watching Trump bankrupt a casino in real time. Except this time we are the casino.

Reynolds signs Iowa law barring local trans civil rights protections City and county civil rights commissions may no longer protect Iowans from gender identity-based discrimination under a law signed by Gov. Reynolds.

Within just a few hours of this morning's genocide warning from the Lemkin Institute, the 4th Circuit ruled that trans adults can have our care banned and be forced by any means to "appreciate our sex", and Iowa made it ILLEGAL to protect trans people.

V.A. Begins Drive to Put Homeless Veterans Into Guardianship

1/2
🚨 The Trump admin just gave VA lawyers power to initiate FORCED GUARDIANSHIP over homeless veterans — stripping them of legal autonomy and forcing them into institutions. Nearly 33,000 veterans are unhoused in America. This is despicable.

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran.
Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes:
www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

This is so incredibly infuriating, and thank you for sharing it. I hate when politicians think that “get rid of encampment = no more homeless people :-)” because that’s not how it works. Give people access to housing, jobs, food, and everything else they need, and THAT is how you end homelessness.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

Dire Straits: The Iran War Is Run by Idiots Also: Americans don't care about process. So they will get corruption.

“It should not surprise you that the same team which invited a reporter into a Signal chat about war plans a few months ago have been blindsided by the Iranian regime’s resilience.”

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

Could we also add the signage, Donald J. Trump Concentration Camp in large gold lettering to every detention center, since he loves to see his name on his buildings??

Nathan Cavanaugh Deposition in ACLS-AHA-MLA Lawsuit About the NEH, Part 1 of 6 YouTube video by American Historical Association

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.

Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.

But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

Exclusive | Trump Sons Back New Drone Company Targeting Pentagon Sales Powerus says it plans to acquire Ukrainian drone technology to sell to the U.S. military.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Trump's sons used a golf-club company—as in, a company that owns and operates a couple of golf courses, not one that manufactures golf clubs—to buy a "drone company that is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon."

A democracy cannot survive when billionaires are allowed to utterly deform its politics.

End Citizens United.

Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.
