In a Chicago suburb, ICE GOONS brutally attacked a 15-year-old girl. They forcibly removed her from her car, slammed her to the ground, and then placed their knee on her neck.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Stephen Miller claimed that the constitution grants the president "plenary" or absolute power.

This is the level of ignorance and deceit we are up against.

They are working to develop a different kind of government, an authoritarian kind of government, where they have all of the control." - Keira Havens @highcountryrose.bsky.social

The Guardian’s 1986 advert “Points of View” highlighted how perspective shapes understanding. The message was clear: the way we interpret a situation depends on our viewpoint, and without the whole perspective, we can easily misjudge.

With Qatar having an air force base in the U.S. they’ll be in the “Golden Dome”, it’ll be easier for them to plan an attack then it was on 9/11.

All it cost them was a $400 million dollar plane, great ROI for them.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
