This dude fired all the "woke generals" (who happened to be Black and/or women) to get back to the substantive work
...
of banning people who take unflattering pictures while launching catastrophic wars of choice
Worth noting that Amentum, like its predecessor, has been the focus of frustration within ICE and the WEXMAC community.
Over a month ago, a source I spoke with called out Amentum by name as “struggling” to handle the mission at Camp East Montana.
NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.
I really think Hesgeth believed Iran would get knocked out in the first round and there was no need to plan for everything that was obviously going to happen next, Israel knew better but kept that to itself, Trump was incurious and easy to persuade, and nobody in administration dared push back.
Yeah, not to be all "first they came for the smut artists..." But um-
Guys, it's a fucking war against art.
Look around- between genAi, the wholesale shedding of creatives from the workforce, payment processors, enshitification..
It's a war on art.
...Any historical precedents coming to mind?
At Vivaldi, we believe you have the right to run whatever software you want on a device you own. That’s why we’ve co-signed this open letter, together with other 53 organisations, requesting Google to back off on the proposed policy before it enters into force.
I feel this strongly: I don't care. I am DISGUSTED that 175 little girls are dead and that thousands are dead across the region and that 1 million people are displaced in Lebanon alone. THIS IS EVIL.
Ten bucks says they’re making this claim because an attack on a western state is what pulled the country into WW2
omg
Adding chili's to my never visiting or spending money on list. I don't care if I get down to three places, fuck transphobes and racists
The good news is now Minnesotans will know where to find her. Out in public. After working to help ICE, the group who kidnaps kids and shoots people dead in the street. The Gestapo. I think this is a perfect time for the people of Minnesota to ask her some questions and make sure she answers them
Every single day, it's a new moral injury. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away!
Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.

Billion
By Catie Edmondson
(New York Times) -- In a Capitol Hill briefing, officials gave their most
comprehensive assessment of the cost of the first six days of the war, but the
number omitted several aspects of the operation.
Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on
Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded
$11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with
the briefing.
The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation,
such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first
strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as
the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first
week.
Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had
received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time
frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported
earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the
military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war.
That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly
disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that
the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each
day.
The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide
bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreihcsjdum2q7hdoyqqbb5x6nhtiw3ldqmxfeuf6dutasyn2xyeecni)

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.
Need to rebrand to Showing Up for Lesser Evil Propaganda, tag line “As long as you only tell the nice lies!”
One criticism of this endorsement that I don't see in any of the reactions is that SURJ doesn't reference Mainers of color or Maine organizations in this endorsement and so it is yet another example of outsiders not talking to or even noticing Mainers of color and their perspectives
The UK government is now 3-0 down against Kneecap, and 2-0 down on proscribing Palestine Action; it seems perhaps they ought to adjust the strategy of "spending tens of millions of dollars arguing that opposing the genocide we participate in is terrorism, actually".

Two veteran journalists produced a documentary that showed evidence of war crimes in Gaza. But the BBC refused to air the film.

We are calling on ICE to immediately release journalist Estefany Rodriguez, who has covered immigration, including ICE actions, for the Spanish-language news site Nashville Noticias.

Ahmed crouches and smiles while holding Noor and Wateen: Wateen wearing a bee-themed shirt and Noor in a plaid skirt and pink jacket.
Rust covered brake rotors soaking in liquid inside a blue basin, a hand holding a paper cup is visible.
Can you imagine cleaning rusty car parts with your bare, unprotected hands to help feed your family? To Ahmed nothing is too much for his family, but he deserves rest and help too.
Donations give him support and help.
