A reminder than Ben Shapiro was an advocate for the ethnic cleansing of not just the Palestinians of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza but also the Palestinian-citizens of Israel. He wrote this in 2003.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

β€œAs Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. β€œIndividual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that.””

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

β€œFour of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. β€œI looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Funny to see people still pretend that Jewish settlers make up a miniscule segment of Israeli society when a little more than 1 in 10 Israeli Jews live in occupied territory, the supermajority of the army is stationed in occupied territory, and settlers sit in cabinet and on the court.

I could almost see her point in the beginning, like yes, someone writing an email not explicitly about a sex crime MIGHT not be the most guilty of them all, but then she goes and defends Ghislaine?!? Like, girl are you okay??

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

I still have nightmares about our asshole boss arriving in the middle of rush hour and taking over the entire sandwich station to leisurely make himself lunch. Indie coffee shop, not starbucks, but you just reminded me of it. The worst!
