KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?
BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!
K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?
B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up
USCENTCOM’s entire reason for existence for the last forty years has been to prevent exactly THIS ONE THING from happening
and yet
Haitian lives are as grievable as any of ours, and so often forgotten.
Of course this is where things were headed
so:
a. the Strait of Hormuz is def actually mined
b. they did ZERO planning for this
c. they're freaking out now that it's leaked to the press and trying to ensure us that 'no it's not'
👀
Your regular reminder that Congress can stop this at precisely any moment of their choosing
A lot of very smart people are predicting a reversion to the mean in US/Iranian relations at the conclusion of this…..crisis I guess.
But, we just martyred the current Supreme Leader’s father and wife. We also bombed an elementary school and made the skies above Tehran rain oil.
So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
Kristi Noem Is Leaving a Trail of Death Behind Her in ICE Jails
I've covered deaths in immigration prisons for years, but I've never seen so many people die of what appears to be preventable conditions in such a brief period of time.
This will come back to haunt them. It must.
"Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment, as if it’s just another piece of content to be swiped through while we’re waiting in line at the grocery store"

I want ICE agents to be afraid. I want them to run and hide from the justice that will come when this regime ends. And I will personally advocate for their life sentences.
"Many Americans seem to have forgotten just how catastrophic US regime change wars have been in the past. So, with the risk of history repeating itself once again, here is Zeteo’s list of seven of the US’s most disastrous attempts at regime change, ranked"
do yourself a favor folks, if you're 26 or younger, make a plan to dodge the draft. it's not making the problem about you -- the child you don't go overseas to kill will thank you for it in fact. and if it doesn't come to pass, better to have a plan and not need it than need it and not have it

Cupich is a real one and is absolutely spitting fire here. this is a more courageous statement than 90% of what we’ve heard from Democrats
Time to discuss the realities of, "So You Want to Launch a Ground Invasion of Iran."
1. First, of course, you need ground connected to Iran. That means Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan or Pakistan.
"Petroleum leaks from bombed Shahran oil depot trigger explosions in Tehran - Footage shows ignited fuel sending fireballs through the street after the depot was hit in US-Israeli strikes" (Anadolu agency) #US #Iran
This is incredibly on point.
Spot oil prices grab the news, but it’s the impact we’re about to witness to petrochemical and derivative production that should really scare the shit out of folks.
It’s the sort of shock that could ripple through our global industrial economy for many months.
New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Now, @wabe.org confirms what we knew all along: DeKalb County's parkland swap and open contempt of a judge's order to reopen said park has led to no new park but one emboldened Republican now running for Congress
Sgt. Brian McGinnis is out of jail after he was arrested for expressing his opposition to the US war on Iran in Congress. Capitol Police officers and Senator Sheehy broke his arm as they removed and arrested him.
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Honestly, I’d actually watch this James Bond movie 🤣
Folks, we still have troops in DC. They never left. What are they doing here? Being intimating bullies over people doing their ordinary things in public spaces. That’s the whole point of them & why Trump is squandering your money on them.
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
