On December 19, Fargo police interviewed her for the first time at the Cass County Jail. Five days later, on Christmas Eve, prosecutors dismissed the case and Lipps was released. But it left Lipps stranded in Fargo in the middle of winter. “I had my summer clothes on, no coat, it was so cold outside, snow on the ground, scared, I wanted out, but I didn’t know what I was going to do, how I was going to get home,” Lipps said.

damn, then Fargo didn't even send her back to Tennessee where they had her abducted, they just left her in the cold to die, like they were ICE filling an arrest quota

doesn't seem any different from what we did wrong in Afghanistan and then Iraq: alienating every element of the ruling classes that the occupations needed to buy into whatever new system was imposed

I can’t get over how Cultural Revolution the DOGE story is, these young people doing crimes they didn’t understand on behalf of a political leader

that's ironic considering USAID supported Pol Pot through at least the fall of the Berlin wall

What's two decades of unflinching American elite support for SAVAK to the power and influence of... an American high school student in Paris?

I guess Khomeini was spending a lot of time hanging out with Jewish teenagers during his exile at Neauphle-le-Château.

Curtis Yarvin * @curtis_yarvin X.com The Iranian Revolution was a diplomatic crime of the American left. The Islamic Republic, like its proxy Hamas, is a client power of the American left. Trump is only bombing Tehran because he can't bomb Brooklyn Kyle Orton @ @KyleWOrton • 20h The Shah's dream was to bring Iran up to a level with European States: the economic policies were in place, many social reforms done, and the political piece—an elected government with a constitutional Monarchy—was set for late 1979.

Today I learned from JD Vance’s muse that Iran’s Islamic, fundamentalist regime is a manifestation of the same leftist political energies as those which animate Brooklyn leftism. Ok dude, sure, whatever

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.

Seems like the claim that the US is not using these bases to attack Iran were, as they obviously always were, false.

• If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa. Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really

lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

Didn't leave the new Supreme Leader much left to lose by murdering most of his family at the outset of the Epstein War.

Mojtaba Khamanei, in his first statement as Supreme Leader, says that "the resistance in Yemen" – Ansar Allah/the Houthis, who haven't tapped in yet – "are ready to do their job." Says the same about the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

Woman killed in crash with Tesla near Dunlap identified Authorities have identified 34-year-old Misty Lynn as the woman killed in a DUI crash in Fresno County, which also involved two small children.

The amount of anecdotal evidence of people using Tesla Autopilot/FSD specifically to make driving while drunk/intoxicated easier is absolutely shocking.

What cross-posting software are you using that sends BS a link to a screenshot on instagram with the unhelpful advice "For the article search in your Browser for Juan Cole's Informed Comment" instead of a link to the article?

Fun fact: Tim Walz has not gone along with sports betting. Sports betting is illegal in Minnesota, even at tribal casinos.

Rest in power Breonna Taylor. Today, we mourn six years without her, and six years without justice or accountability.
