Conducting a war, fatly

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

It looks like a plant bed next to a building, maybe?

Staffer with Elon Musk's DOGE amplified white supremacists online One of the people working with billionaire Elon Musk in his efforts to overhaul the U.S. government is a Berkeley-educated computer scientist who has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online.

The Pentagon just put this person -- who has boosted the views of white supremacist Nick Fuentes, among other unacceptable public posts -- in charge of its AI policy: www.reuters.com/world/us/sta...

I'm sure it was the plan all along, but I still can't believe they're letting Worse Google select military targets.

Maybe I was too hard on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, in my thread. Or maybe not!

The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now

I donโ€™t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

Last week, ICE announced the 38th death in its detention system since January 2025. Alberto Gutierrez-Reyes, 48, was being held at Adelanto after being arrested in Echo Park, LA. His family says he was denied medical care despite repeated requests. ๐Ÿงต

Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany Rodrรญguez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. 

Rodrรญguez, who was in the car with her husband โ€” a U.S. citizen โ€” has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, Rodrรญguez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and itโ€™s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.

Something I donโ€™t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. โ€œMove fast and break thingsโ€ but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

ICE is moving people faster & faster. In October, a friend was taken from his home. By the afternoon, he was in Putnam County. They said he'd be there for a couple days. Next day, we rushed there to get him paperwork for legal rep but he was already on his way to Knox Co & in Louisiana the next day.

Can't we have sane people in Congress instead of these millerianist kooks? Run-of-the-mill corrupt politician types who just want to feather their nests, not bring about "Planet of the Apes".

mullin is if anything even more drunk and incompetent than noem, and also a sitting senator, so i think we really are seeing Not Enough Guys theory operationalized at the highest levels

From 1894-1921, the Field Museum was located in the Palace of Fine Arts in Jackson Park (now home to the Griffin MSI). When it moved to its present home in Grant Park, its enormous collection was moved *by train* on temporary tracks connecting the two buildings to the Illinois Central railroad.

After that, he worked at various places, like the hydroelectric plant, doing maintenance. Sadly, he got into a barfight and injured the other man so severely, a judge ordered my grandfather's wages garnished for a long period of time. Beats jail, I guess. Not something to campaign on.

One was a traveling salesman for an insurance company and his region encompassed several states in NE Mexico. He drove a black and yellow Dodge Super Bee and was on the road 3 weeks of every month. The other traveled to Michigan to work for the railroad during WW2.
