So this is one instance that's public, but I suspect there have been other women taken by ICE because of men who want them gone. This happened to women in Nazi Germany, and this happened/happens to women through institutionalization. Heartbreaking & infuriating.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

I've been watching SNL season 14 for my reviews, and a lot of my copies of the original broadcasts come from WLBZ Bangor, which used to be the affiliate carried on cable in the Maritimes.

This company designs its products to sycophantic. It knows it is doing this. It knows why it is doing this. The design principles involved are well-known in HCI. OpenAI, quite literally, is a monstrosity.
“OpenAI’s court filing argued that the harms in this case were at least partly caused by Raine’s ‘failure to heed warnings, obtain help, or otherwise exercise reasonable care,’ as well as the ‘failure of others to respond to his obvious signs of distress.’”
OpenAI denies allegations that ChatGPT is to blame for a teenager's suicide
Adam Raine's family sued the AI company in August. On Tuesday, OpenAI said in a new court filing that it isn't responsible for the teen's death.

Let this short thread radicalize you.
Normand Meunier is a Canadian man with quadriplegia who accessed MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) after being left for 96 hours on a stretcher in the ER.
His requests for a specialized mattress were denied.
He wasn't turned regularly.
He developed bed sores so bad, he opted to end his life.

This is concerning, and, as mentioned in the thread, HRCE isn't providing adequate information or resources.
SJAM school does not have drinkable water. The hrce provided four 18 L jugs to do over 400 students the last day or two. The staff do not know when they're getting more. They are of course distressed/concerned.

• To steal land
• To kill/to feed his sadism
