Bolt strikes-overt deaths of brown people. Ice detention center debts- covert deaths of brown people. All the same - unnecessary, and perhaps illegal, loss of life. Interesting how MAGA pseudo Christians and MAGA legislators are “pro-life“.
FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.

It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.
In the 90 minutes since I posted this, I've gotten two more death notifications.

ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.

Surprise! It’s another scam!
Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

Tom Nichols’ article in today’s The Atlantic was spot on. A couple of excerpts about DT’s debacle of a speech:

“For 20 minutes, he vented his hurt feelings without a molecule of empathy or awareness….

In effect, Trump took to the airwaves, pointed his finger, and said: Quiet, piggy.”

Sometimes when I listen to Trump speak I think he is well on his way to dementia.

Other times I think he’s on something.

Then I think it’s just because his vocabulary is very limited and he struggling to read someone else’s words.

But most of the time I think it’s all 3.

The White House clearly is no longer belongs to the people. Trump has pimped it out as only he can.

Trump has no class, is petty, and seething with insecurity. It’s clear to see why the bigot from Queens was never accepted into the upper echelons of Manhattan.

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino recently admitted to lying during his time as a political pundit. Last week, David A. Graham considered media personalities turned administrators and their complex relationship with the truth:
Dan Bongino Admits to Lying During His Pundit Days
Before he joined the FBI, Bongino spread bogus claims about the January 6 pipe bomber—and now says he did it because he was getting paid.

First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

This is inconsequential if true. The after tax amount will not help military families who are struggling to keep their heads above water. Another bullsh&t distraction from a tanking economy, the Epstein files, and illegal boat strikes.
Exclusive: In his address to the nation tonight, Donald Trump is considering announcing onetime bonus checks of $1,776 for many military members, Ashley Parker and Nancy A. Youssef report. theatln.tc/ciuSaIdd

Interesting how skeletons always come to light. The ‘bones of truth’ around these illegal boat strikes will not stop rattling until they are seen.
Hegseth repeatedly misled the public about this strike.

The boat was headed for Suriname, not the U.S.
It wasn't carrying fentanyl.
The survivors didn't "radio for backup."

This strike was illegal, and Hegseth is trying to cover up what happened by refusing to release video.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that the Pentagon will not publicly release unedited video of a strike that killed two survivors of an initial attack on a boat allegedly carrying cocaine in the Caribbean. https://to.pbs.org/4pZJb8p

I'm very tired of repeating myself about this, but, as someone who works professionally on housing affordability, this is a disgusting lie.
Vance: "Why have rents gone down for 4 consecutive months? Because we're starting to get those illegal aliens out of the USA. Those criminals, those gang members, those people that are taking homes that ought by right go the people in this room. It's simple economics."

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.
