Watching everyone allow Trump to destroy the world and do nothing is soul destroying.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

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.

We now have a full-blown European-American crisis, and for no reason that the president is able to articulate

Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE.

WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership?

Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.

These Megan Kelly clips are pretty good proof that a lot of people have gotten much much much worse over the last 10 years

Was blessed to see this concert on Saturday. Saying it was a “bucket list” moment doesn’t do it justice. It simply felt like a blessing, and not just because the show ended up taking place in a church!

Federal agents doing slapdash safety check checkpoints because they have nothing better to do than harass American citizens is repugnant to our foundational principles. We should not tolerate it in a free society.

Last week I took a group to the infamous 9th Fort in Kaunas, Lithuania, which was the site of infamous crimes against humanity. This ended up begging the question: if this is the 9th fort, what about the others?!

Thread.

Homeland Security @DHSgov Which way, American man? http://JOIN.ICE.GOV photo of uncle sam with his hat off at a crossroads with title "America Needs You, Join ICE Now"

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

When he’s right, he’s right, folks.

"Never Again"

Empty platitudes, devoid of meaning and designed to defer a decision on concrete action.

In the ongoing saga of my research topic becoming current events...I have been wondering what will happpen with the property of immigrants being disappeared in America.

As a German political scientist who used to live in the US I cannot say how deeply disturbing it is to see these masked ICE goons dragging people off the streets, and the GOP building up this massive secret police force. What a shameful moment in history this is.

Today, 30 years on, we remember the victims of the Srebrenica genocide.

In a world still scarred by conflict, we must learn from the past and confront hatred and prejudice wherever it occurs.

Never again must mean never again. #Srebrenica30

really wish the news would stop covering musk like a harmless celebrity feuding with politicians via mean tweets and more like a malignant, foreign-born billionaire spending billions to brute-force our government to better serve him and harm millions.

I think this is an unfair mischaracterization of the use intended, and lumping it in with the sort of mine warfare that afflicts global civilians is counter-productive to the humanitarian purpose of the law.

It’s almost as if this were written by someone whose people have never had to endure Russian aggression.

In Sudan, where children clung to life, doctors say USAID cuts have been fatal The Trump administration’s cuts to USAID had an immediate and deadly impact in war-ravaged Sudan, according to civilians, doctors and aid officials.

NEW: The death shadow cast by Musk.

“When U.S.-supported soup kitchens were forced to close, babies starved quietly, their mothers said, while older siblings died begging for food.”

The world’s richest man did this to the world’s poorest children.

Don’t ever forget.

A good time as any for a reminder of key points from On Tyranny by @timothysnyder.bsky.social

More and more of those are directly relevant for us in our failing democracies, sliding towards authoritarianism one Social Media misinformation after another...

Monitoring channels strongly warn: don't touch unknown objects -- russia attacked Kyiv with cluster munitions.

Cluster munitions.
On a city of 4M people.
Let that sink in.

Don't talk about "both sides."
Don't ask Ukraine to give up.

Peace comes only when russia is defeated.

Every now and then I remember there’s a Norwegian MP serving in the Ukrainian marine corps and she is just so unfathomably cool

Putin: “I’ve already said that Russians and Ukrainians are one people. In that sense, all of Ukraine is ours. … We have this old rule, that wherever a Russian steps foot — that’s our territory.”

Whatever this is, it’s not a president preparing his people for compromise.

🔴 Anastasiia, a Ukrainian girl with cancer, was killed in Israel by an Iranian rocket along with her mom, grandma, and siblings.

She had traveled there for treatment. Her father is currently defending Ukraine.
