They are grabbing and bursting testicles.
That’s sexual assault.
We already know women detainees have been raped, assaulted and in some cases sterilized.
This is sick stuff. They want to inflict maximum pain.
They’re abusers drunk on power.

🧪IMPORTANT! This graphic explains how science all over the US is funded. Congress approved a 2% increase in the #NIH budget for FY 26.
Buried in the bill-
Shift of ~40% of grants to MYF. This will still result in a 35% DECREASE in the NUMBER of grants funded per yr.
Russel Vought is behind this.

Every day of my mom’s life has been colored by the trauma of witnessing her mother’s torture and murder. That, in turn, colored every day of mine. Every single day ICE inflicts psychic torture on children whose souls will not heal and whose scars will bleed through onto their children. On and on.

We learned in a French television program broadcast yesterday, from a magistrate, that the US government is putting pressure on French judges so that the leader of our far right, who has been convicted in court, can benefit from a double standard of justice.
Trump veut faire élire Marine Le Pen ou Jordan Bardella !
On n’est plus dans de la fiction ou une théorie du complot, mais face à une réalité quand on entend, ce soir, le témoignage de la magistrate Magali Lafourcade. Et c'est flippant ! 😰

I’m seeing increased use of this word and I just want to gently suggest that if there’s one word you can manage to remove from your vocabulary it should be this one.
It was coined by a eugenicist who used it as a diagnosis to forcibly institutionalize and sterilize mentally disabled people.

This picture was taken in 2000 by an Associated Press photographer who was allowed to be present as an observer. ICE now keeps press blocks away from the areas where they are operating. One of the first actions ICE takes during a raid is to confiscate phones.

Dave Grossman sucks.
He's a Jeffrey Combs character in real life.
He's the creep who teaches cops to make peace with the idea that they will have to kill without hesitation because it's part of their mission as literal and spiritual warriors.
