More ICE human rights violations.

People, including children and the elderly, were held for weeks in Colorado ICE hold rooms, without beds, in clear violation of ICE regulations.

And it gets worse…

Trump’s initial comments were confused enough that I don’t believe they were part of any market manipulation. He said we’d take over Hormuz!! He was just doing his usual BS routine, free associating until people were happy, and Wall Street was stupid enough to latch on to one line and rejoice.

It's important to recognize that ~24% (about 1 in 4 people) is the absolute approval floor for any President. It never falls below that. Basically Trump's 13-15% above the effective zero line.

Keep up the good work people

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Europeans think 100 miles is a long way. Americans think 100 years is a long time.

Trump is epitome and apotheosis of the worst of the 1980s.

Thanks to him we live in cursed revenant zombie 80s.

Well at least we have USAID doing the heavy lifting of global humanitarian work. That at least helps offset the cruelty we’re unleashing here.

Good morning. To add insult to injury as the world burns and the markets melt down Trump is spending Monday fucking off at one of his properties at the expense of the American taxpayers.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Hegseth’s plan is killing Iranians. That’s it. That’s the whole plan, the whole goal. Then…profit.

Underpants gnome war, but super sick and lethal

That’s assuming his minders let him see real numbers, which isn’t a safe bet.

RNA-specific local translation is patterned by condensates for multinucleate cell growth - Nature Cell Biology Geisterfer, Jalihal et al. show spatially distinct effects of Whi3 condensates on target translation in Ashbya syncytia. In vitro, translation is enriched at condensate–solute interfaces but repressed...

Condensates are powerful ways to break symmetry and cells do remarkable things with them. Here we show that in a multinucleate fungus, a condensate regulates translation of a cyclin and a formin in distinct locations.

ICE Detention of Teen Musicians Roils Texas Mariachi Community

ICE's core mission is extirpating non-gringo culture. That's literally the recruiting pitch. Imprisoning and deporting these asylum-seeking kids is job 1.

But they have no clue how deep La Serenata runs.

I’m just curious if any of the disgusting juvenile delinquents making the ridiculous war glorification videos for the White House ever served in combat. Or even served in the military at all.

The great thing here? You know they were psyched to get somber, unifying content with flag-draped dead soldiers as props. All set to put that shit in the power rotation

Trump couldn’t help fucking it in the ear

Amazing - Fox just showed old footage of Trump at a DIFFERENT Dignified Transfer because of the criticism he got for wearing a baseball hat yesterday πŸ€”

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
