Here's the general in charge of NORTHCOM admitting its war on cartels has had no effect on fentanyl coming into the US.

CONGRESS:  225k Americans are estimated to have been killed bc of fentanyl ... Are we making any progress?

GEN. GREGORY GUILLOT: No. I wouldn't say it's better...

“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.

Marquette Park this morning, ~45 min ago at 70th and Washtenaw per anon FB post. Through a screen, someone films Border Patrol agents taking a man into a red minivan and driving away. Another angle of this shared to social media shows it happened in front of a daycare.

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

There was some strange system where they all got their food and shelter and education and medical for free, no matter what job they did.

i feel like this story is particularly important right now, because protein-maxxing is *so* in vogue. before working on this, i believed i was woefully protein deficient

it turns out that's just a myth that has been floating around for decades—the average american gets more than enough protein!!

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

⭕️ Breaking: All 45 bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel arrived with their hands and legs cuffed, CNN reports. They were transferred to Nasser Hospital tagged with numbers, not names, and have yet to be identified.

Drop Site’s full post, linked below, details how Israel is violating the terms of the deal while falsely accusing Hamas of doing so The bodies of 45 deceased Palestinians transferred from Israel to the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis have not been identified, the hospital’s forensic department told CNN on Tuesday.

https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-gaza-ceasefire-deal-hostages-10-14-25?post-id=cmgr3l8su0000356oqp7oci4i All of the bodies arrived at the facility with their hands and legs cuffed, the hospital said.
The remains were being held in refrigerators in Israel and came with numbers marking them, rather than names, according to the hospital.
"Some are blindfolded, and there are signs of gunshot wounds in some cases, while others have been run over by tanks," Nasser hospital said.

the 'janet mills running for senate' thing is less about her choosing to run and more about Schumer etc. pushing it hard. Not that she is like Cuomo, but it is like Cuomo in the sense of "is this the best the powers that be could come up with?"

(FACTS) Israel's genocide over the Palestinians in Gaza destroyed:

a. 190,115 buildings (330,500 houses are badly damaged).
b. More than 85% of water and sanitation facilities.

Before apartheid Israel released the Palestinian political prisoners in the prisoner exchange, why did Israeli occupation forces raid and ransack the homes of these prisoners in Nablus (in the Balata & Askar al-Jadid refugee camps), in Salem, in Aqraba, in Zeita Jamma'in, in Hebron, & in Deir Samet?
