HyperWhistle, the world's loudest ever recorded whistle. Dialing in at 142 dB. This is the world's most powerful mouth blown whistle.

In case anyone's looking for a solid ICE warning whistle, I did some research on the best model. Can confirm, it's loud. Ships with free earplugs and a lanyard. Recommended:

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

Mood in Nuuk, Greenland today.
These are the same people who told us Renée Good ran over Jonathan Ross and that China was about to invade Greenland and that Venezuela was flooding the US with fentanyl when they don't even make fentanyl. They lie about everything all the time.
"Give me a break! These people, they're just very comfortable, very comfortable lying."

My sister-in-law's dad died last week, in hospice in the VA hospital in Minneapolis. I just learned Alex Pretti was part of his care team. They shot Alex less than 1/2 mile from my niece's house while doing the same observation work that my niece is doing. These are real people. Step up folks!

Media outlets using terms like "immigration crackdown" or "immigration enforcement" to describe what is happening are simply manufacturing consent for fascism and state terror
This isn't about individual reporters/editors. It's about their bosses who lack the courage and ethics to meet this moment

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

The notion that ancient brothels are associated with the mass deposition of infant remains is based, so far as I know, entirely on two sites - Ashkelon, Israel and Hambledon, England.
Neither of which - wait for it - can be securely identified as a brothel. One is a bath house, the other a villa.

I pointed out (elsewhere) that the Vice President was lying when he said in a speech that archaeologists used mass infant remains to identify ancient brothels (they don't) so now I have right-wing chuds emailing my university email to 'gotcha' me about the sites I mentioned by name already.

So to sum up: ancient fact - we can identify brothels by floor-plans and artwork, but they are not usually associated with mass infant remains.
Contemporary fact: JD Vance is a liar and his supporters are every bit as stupid as he thinks they are.

A must-read deep dive into the history and current practices of ICE/CBP:
"ICE and CBP are literally scared to be out in public... resorting to brutality and violence because (a) they don’t know better and (b) they’re not bound by any of the normal accountability"
"ICE and CBP are literally scared to be out in public... resorting to brutality and violence because (a) they don’t know better and (b) they’re not bound by any of the normal accountability"
Curious why ICE and CBP agents are so brutal? Here's a useful explainer I wrote last week, before Saturday's outrageous murder, about how uniquely unsuited ICE and CBP are for this moment—and why they were so corruptible into Trump's own fascist secret police: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...
"ICE 101" — How Trump changed ICE and CBP into a fascist secret police
ICE and CBP are fatally flawed products of the post-9/11 War on Terror — now Trump has weaponized those very flaws to occupy America.
