Trump ICE regime troops assaulted and abducted a 15 year old American girl and two other US teens, a 250+ pound regime agent set his knee on her neck during the violent attack.

"They were telling them they were U.S. citizens, and they didn't care."

🧵What’s the biggest lie the surveillance industry tells? That they only sell to legal clients. That there are red lines. But what do these companies say when they think nobody is watching? We went undercover to find out

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

Trump regime forces brutally beat Americans in the streets of Chicago for witnessing their neighbours be kidnapped and disappeared in broad daylight. Concerned citizens stood up for themselves as the regime continues to expand its fascist terror campaign.

Remember the U.S. government's Fifth National Climate Assessment that was taken down by Trump 2.0?

Now its digital twin has been resurrected on a non-government website. It's fully interactive with Spanish translations just like before.

INCREDIBLE.

"Wie die AOK Hessen betont, ist das Covid-19-Virus keine reine Atemwegserkrankung. Es könne den gesamten Körper betreffen – etwa Herz, Gefäße, Nervensystem oder Stoffwechsel. Auch Langzeitfolgen wie #LongCovid seien weiterhin ein ernstzunehmendes Risiko."

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked

Pakistan is carrying out massive bombings on Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. Explosions can be heard everywhere, and huge plumes of smoke are rising into the sky.

Is Trump taking up the challenge? How long will it take him to resolve this conflict?

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

Definitey right to be sceptic, more than sceptic.
Given how often Israel did not stick to its commitments. They committed genocide, per UNO, and destroyed most of #Gaza, for the sake of destroying.
And with Ham*s, you never know.
