The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!

Can’t describe how predatory this is and if index providers carve out an exception for them or other large IPOs it’ll be a huge hit to their credibility IMO.

"Wicker, the senior Mississippi representative in the U.S. Senate, said opening a detention center would prevent economic growth opportunities."

Just how toxic Trump/Miller's immigration/ICE polices have gotten in America?

This raises the question: is a 'washer' a dish washer or washing machine?
Literal PRO tip: I accidentally washed my airpods case in the washer. Figured for sure they would be ruined. But they came out of washer shiny and clean, like new. And still working!!!

I mean the case hasn't been this clean since I bought em.

schumer is a patsy
Moderate, run to the center, assume opinions are fixed and chase what polls well — that’s a badly misguided strategy for this moment.

If interested in US elections, “popularism,” and opposing authoritarianism, read what the poli sci says, from

The most basic gun rule is don't point your weapon at something you don't intend to shoot and don't shoot something you don't intend to kill.

So there are only two possibilities here: EITHER the agents were willing to murder observers OR they have never received any firearms training. 🧵
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
