SCOOP: Social Security workers are being told to give the details of appointments customers are making to ICE, raising the prospect of secret police abducting people going to mandatory SSA appointments. @zoeschiffer.bsky.social, @telliotter.bsky.social, and @leahfeiger.bsky.social have more.

This is the sort of hybrid warfare that Russia is undertaking with the west.
Russia is engineering a migration bomb for Europe. Disinformation on local airwaves in Mali and Niger pushes desperate youth toward deadly routes; Russian paramilitaries guard traffickers in Libya. Endgame? Chaos at EU gates, fractured politics. Europe ignores this at its peril.

"Mongoloid" is the debut single by American new wave band Devo, released February 1977 with "Jocko Homo" as the B-side.

"Mongoloid" was later re-recorded by Devo and appeared on the album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We are Devo!

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
