You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.

ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

9 TOTAL.

ABOLISH ICE.

Alexander Vindman announces his run for Senate. I'm already getting texts asking for $$

While 86% of genocide scholars, ICC, ICJ, UN, Amnesty, Jewish scholar Omer Bertov, Israeli orgs like B'TSalem, & Lemkin Inst ALL confirm Israel IS committing genocide—Vindman remains a genocide denier

No thanks

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

The administration that spent the first half of 2025 telling us there was nothing wrong with coordinating literally classified war plans on Signal now is saying that it believes it’s a crime to post publicly available information on Signal.
I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.

Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

The Russian/Soviet Project 690 submarine, known in NATO by the reporting name BRAVO (phonetic alphabet for B), was an unusual training submarine. It did have two torpedo tubes (of different sizes) so could perform a backup combat role. 4 built

A is for Alfa

Russian (Soviet) Pr.705 Alfa class submarine.

(Alfa, spelt with an F, is phonetic alphabet for A, so the NATO code name is A-class but no one says it that way any more.

Greenland doesn’t need to be “owned” to be defended.After allied pushback and market signals, the conversation is shifting toward a long-term security framework & possibly limited U.S. basing rather than sovereignty.Strategic patience matters.

The Convicted FElon once again stated about being a dictator.
He said this week "Sometimes you need a dictator."

"(Fascism) does make life a lot easier. You don’t go through the court system. It’s just a much easier thing to do.”

Remember when Palin and the Teabaggers demanded "a return to a Constitutional government?"

Lavrov:

Crimea is no less important to the security of the Russian Federation than Greenland is to the United States.

And, of course, when what is happening around Greenland is justified by claims that otherwise it would be seized by Russia or China, there is no evidence to support such claims.
