I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.
"agents told hospital staff that Castaneda Mondragon ... 'purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.'”
A Minnesota man received a life-threatening injury while in ICE custody. It's not clear how he got injured because his memory and ability to communicate are so severely impaired. Agents said "he got his shit rocked." Wild story from @katrinapross.bsky.social sahanjournal.com/health/ice-d...

1. It's been more than a day since 2 of America's most storied newsrooms, CBS and ABC, reported that killer ICE agent Jon Ross suffered "internal bleeding" based on unnamed sources
Since then
- No other news org has confirmed the story

It’s worth a free read, b/c some actual police commentary is worth tracking down, and b/c screw paying for the NYT. But watch how he avoids talking about violent crimes ICE are actively committing against Mpls residents.

Dammit, It's high time that @ellenkushner.bsky.social's Riverside books (Swordspoint, etc.) were turned into a television series. She's been creating these kinds of characters since the 1980s, for heaven's sake. I'd watch a Riverside series in a heartbeat.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Books about “Asian wife sharing” that included detailed descriptions of orgies and scenes involving “ladyboys.”
That’s what our reporter discovered on a Goodreads page tied to the email address of a top Pentagon official. What came next was even wilder.

NEW: For more than a century, a smelter spewed lead dust over Omaha.
For decades, the government cleaned it up.
But a shift in guidance from the Trump administration may stop thousands more from potential cleanup, exposing families to the harmful metal.

The EPA Was Considering a Massive Lead Cleanup in Omaha. Then Trump Shifted Guidance.
The Trump administration says it will speed cleanups, but residents of the largest residential lead Superfund site worry fewer properties will be remediated.
