Prepping my genocide course and it's really sad to reflect on the fact that the United States Army was the first in the world to codify the law of war and prohibit crimes against civilians.

It formed the basis for the later Hague and Geneva Conventions.

And it was drafted by a Jewish immigrant.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

When things are definitely going well
As the Trump-Vance administration's approval tanks, the White House issues a new statement to Americans: "Don't Be a Panican."

In the past month, the admin murdered two Americans, was implicated even further in the Epstein Files, and attacked US Olympians and the most popular musician in the world.

The reason for the reported lie is worse than the lie.
NEWS: Marco Rubio is telling Trump we are holding negotiations with Cuba, yet no such talks are happening.

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people.

The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

“The Epstein class” is a keeper.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Just your regular PSA that actor Vincent Price was cool as f*ck: Here he reads Native American student’s poetry in 1967 at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Price established the Vincent Price Awards in Creative Writing for Native students, a stipend that was in place

Good thread, if you don't know our president's history of racism.
In light of Trump’s post yesterday, some history:

“On Memorial Day 1927, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested. One of those arrested was Fred Trump.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix...
In 1927, Donald Trump’s father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens
On Sunday, Trump declined to disavow the support of white supremacists.

Someday it may well come out that the billionaire complied with a request from the White House.
Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal.

This is a perfect example of "I saw a thing that I could do and I started doing it"
ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

Apparently he believes he is making the trains run on time.
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.

We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.
