ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

My first job when I turned 16 was for a β€œdefense contractor-funded think tank.”
So many memories that summer…

Cue Huey Lewis’ If This Is It

Got my driver’s license, first kiss and saw real time footage of a supersonic missile blowing up a crowded Libyan market.

What will be the abandoned malls of the next decade?

Best answer: most of the internet. The web inevitably dissolves into link rot.

Steve-O was on Joe Rogan's show trying to defend trans people and Rogan went off, he called trans people "fucking perverts" and "mass shooters" who have done the majority of school shootings.

Completely unhinged bigotry paid for by your Spotify subscriptions.

Unrivaled is wildly entertaining and the skill level is off the charts.

I hope players use this leverage against WNBA owners who want to grossly underpay them.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Tom it’s just a computer calibrated simulation designed to perfectly trigger reproduction areas of the human brain in order to create consensus for techno fascists who want to murder all of life.

Americans are exhausted by endless wars built on lies and paid for with American and foreign lives.

I'm urging my colleagues to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie and stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.
