Anduril Partners With UAE Bomb Maker Accused of Arming Sudan’s Genocide
Anduril calls itself an “arsenal of democracy.” So why is it partnering with the United Arab Emirates, an authoritarian monarchy to build drones?

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.
From @prisonpolicy.org: New analysis of government data from ICE via the Deportation Data Project shows federal agents reliant on local jails and police to reach their arrest numbers.

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”
And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.

Greed is the disease too few recognize.
You know, I'm 70 years old, and I've been thru hell, climbed close to heaven, and touched back down here on Earth, which had everything necessary for humans to thrive. Greed has destroyed much. Maybe it's too late to save it. But we need to try.

Since the genocide is not over, the genociders are still committing genocide, and their enablers are still enabling them, their suppliers are still supplying them, and the war criminals are still running things. Justice is yet to be served. #genocide #Gaza #Palestine #WestBank #humanity #fascism

The genocide is not over, people. These are wounded, sick, and hungry people, many of them women and children, facing drenching rainfall and freezing temperatures and wind. This more genocide, face it. Ethnic cleansing continues in the West Bank #genocide #Gaza #Palestine #humanity #vampires
"The claim by U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz that “600 trucks per day” are entering Gaza is contradicted by documented data showing that only 14,534 trucks have crossed in 62 days ,an average of 234 trucks, just 39% of what the ceasefire agreement requires" #TranslatingFalasteen #Gaza
