As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

A graph that asks "DOES FAST FASHION CAUSE AUTISM?*" with an orange and a blue graph rising over time. The blue graph is generally a few deviations above the orange line.

Every ICE Agent is the worst person alive

Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 16h

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation.

A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

Bad Apple, rotten to the core

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Makes sense I guess. Unless you hit the main air intake where the fan is, these things are made to blow air OUT. And I imagine even if you do the air turns over inside really quickly.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Folks don’t always get that protests preoccupy law enforcement that suppress the protests. Those folks in Broadview are getting gassed, beaten and arrested in lieu of immigrants getting the same treatment. They’ve mounted a heroic struggle to protect our people.

A tow truck is bringing an ICE/CBP vehicle back to the facility—and its back window has been completely smashed out.

Front driver's side window is cracked, too.

When I talked to bystanders they said agents accused Brockman of “obstruction,” which sure sounds a lot different than this DHS claim

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."
