Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

Camila @camilapress
FULL REPORT: Colombian public media reports that a U.S. military strike on a boat on September 15—the second attack on a vessel by the U.S. in the Caribbean that we're aware of—was a Colombian boat and was in Colombian territorial waters.
At least one of the three victims extrajudicially killed in the strike was Colombian lifelong fisherman Alejandro Carranza. Alejandro's identity is confirmed by his cousin.
The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

I see that OpenAI has pivoted from ‘Our mission is to supersede human intelligence for the greater good. We‘re going to cure cancer lads!‘ to ‘The Internet is for porn, give us a trillion dollars!‘. To be fair to them, the first claim was always a lie so at least they‘re being honest now.

This isn’t new.

It’s a tale as old as time.

White men being rewarded for potential while everyone else has to prove, over and over, their lived experience, expertise, and excellence.

What’s changing, though, is that the pattern is no longer hidden or tolerated.

“The number of white males being hired as head coaches in the WNBA with limited experience 1) head coaching and 2) coaching women, is absurd and reflects systemic issues within US basketball culture and society at large.”

Art should come with suggested song pairings. Like cheese and wine.
