Reminds me of a particular scene in Alex Garland’s movie Civil War
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Remember that the strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ended 2 months ago after 3 years, and this week the owner closed the paper and blamed the workers instead of, y’know, NOT forcing a strike to last 3 years. Vindictive little asshat

From MLK Jr.'s "Beyond Vietnam" speech: "The war in Vietnam is but a symptom of a far deeper malady within the American spirit, and if we ignore this sobering reality, we will find ourselves organizing 'clergy and laymen concerned' committees for the next generation . . ." (1/2)

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Tidbits about this corrupted file of a person:
1) Yet another white supremacist who studied at Duke (like Stephen Miller and Richard Spencer)
2) His third and most recent wife was reported missing in 2023.
Thanks, Wikipedia!

What's fascinating about this post is as a "Marxist female researcher," I can't say I've ever really thought about Hitler's penis one way or another. But I guess JF Gariepy does?
