This ICE removal trip operated by Omni Air International just landed in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Migrant passengers onboard have now been shackled at their wrists, ankles and waists for 40 hours.

This is the second ICE removal to Cambodia in six weeks. The other one was also operated by Omni.

This ICE removal operated by Omni Air International is now making its second stop, in Sri Lanka. So far, migrants onboard have spent 34 hours in handcuffs, leg irons and a waist chain. There may be more stops.

Omni and its parent company were purchased in April by private equity firm Stonepeak.

Melissa is now a rapidly intensifying hurricane, and it is plausible that it will produce an almost unimaginably bad outcome for Jamaica over the next 48 hours. Details below or at theeyewall.com.
Hurricane Melissa is rapidly intensifying southeast of Jamaica tonight
A devastating, catastrophic storm is expected in Jamaica, with torrential rain, flooding, and more for portions of Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic as well

deeply wild clip of a fossil fuel economist on norway's state broadcaster claiming

- 3 degrees of warming is a "problem we can live with"
- Extreme weather is not a threat to human welfare
- We need to dig up Norwegian oil and gas to help 'poor Africans in huts' get rid of polluting cooking fuels

Hahahaha. No, it didn't. Trump has no feelings for anyone apart from himself.

So, Spain is part of the BRICS group (Brazil, Ruzzia, India, China and South Africa) because of some made up stuff?

Spain WAS part of the so-called PIGS group (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain), an assortment of struggling mediterranean economies, back in the day.

Common mistake. Trump made it too.

Russians hit maternity hospitals and kindergartens on purpose.

This forms part of one of the five definitions of genocide: "Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group".

They don't hold back on the other four definitions either.

People who are generally upset with how their lives are going, and also feel there are too many people around who look different, can never actually be appeased.

Not by Brexit, not by eliminating FoM, not by new taxes or fees, not by ending ILR, not by denaturalizing not by anything.

Footage shows Russia’s deliberate strikes on a kindergarten in Kharkiv. At the time of the attack by three Shahed drones, 48 children were sheltering inside.

“Extreme” wildfires emitted more than 8bn tonnes of carbon dioxide during the 2024-25 “global fire season”, according to the annual “state of wildfires” report. 👩🏽‍🚒🌳

Fires burned at least 3.7m square kilometres of land – an area larger than India.

In a radio interception, specialists from the Main Intelligence Directorate recorded evidence of another war crime committed by the Russian occupation army — an order to kill civilians attempting to leave the combat zone.

Two photos of today haunt me: a civilian lying dead beside his car in the Donetsk region, and an elderly woman in Kherson next to her goats. Both killed — hunted — by russian drones. Both murders were deliberate.

Those who support russia share the guilt and the blood on their hands.

Or, maybe, the fact that you can't put petrol in your car might be a teensy disincentive to buying a new one.

Oh, God, no. Netanyahu is evil too. I just meant that he is just more efficiently evil because Israel is closer to Gaza, has better weapons and the Palestinians have little to fight back with.

😠 Russia’s ombudswoman admitted she took an orphaned boy from Mariupol to Russia — even though he disliked Russia and didn’t want to live there.

Maria Lvova-Belova said she met the boy while “going through basements and collecting children under shelling” in Mariupol.

Except that Putin's not inspired by Netanyahu, Russians have been invading countries and carrying out ethnic cleansing in their new territories for centuries.

Netanyahu is taking a page out of the Russian/Nazi Germany playbook. And doing it more efficiently because he can.
