Remember during the pandemic? Remember who said the numbers would go down if we only stopped tracking new cases? Yeah. Pretty sure I know who's idea this was.

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.
Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.

Those assholes claimed deportations would IMPROVE job numbers - now they are saying the exact opposite.
Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

ICE is intentionally killing incarcerated people
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

So DHS is forging peoples signature and presenting the forgery to judges on paperwork saying that the individuals agreed to leave the country

The American concept of "free speech" is something to behold. You are free to say what you want, right up till you hurt a fascist's feelies.
FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

You know what I value the most in the people I meet? Empathy. Gentleness. Wokeness. Kindness. Wisdom. A willingness to make room for people who didn't have all the advantages they deserve.
Now there are people out there who want to weaponize these things, and somehow claim they are negatives.

129 extra judicial murders with exactly zero net change in the amount of narcotics flowing into the US.
Why? Probably because they're killing hungry people out gathering food, not drug runners.
This isn't about drugs - it's about killing brown people.

All prior boat-strike announcements credited President Trump or Secretary Hegseth.
This is the first for which Southcom's commander assumes responsibility for one of these extrajudicial killings. The Senate just confirmed Gen. Donovan, on January 30.
34 known strikes, >=129 dead.
